Prof G L Datta, Chancellor, Koneru Lakshmaiah Education Foundation
The huge requirement for higher education cannot be met by setting up institutions in the public sector. Some of the best universities in the world – Harvard, Yale, Stanford, MIT – are private. The only way to meet this demand is encouraging setting up of private colleges and private universities. Private universities have a huge opportunity ahead and we got to create top level private universities which would have vision, autonomy and innovation. Government should come up with policies which can boost private investment in higher education.
