This book presents the state-specific dimensions of the governance
of higher education in Bihar, India, based on a real-case
perspective. It discusses the policies of the center and state
governments, and their implications on the state's higher education
system. It addresses the issues and challenges faced by the higher
education sector from the point of view of multiple stakeholders at
center, state, university and college levels, while examining
influential power centers. The volume focuses on select
universities in the state and looks at how they manage policies,
schemes and regulations. It deals with key themes such as the role
of state and regulatory bodies such as the University Grants
Commission; the balance of power; resource scarcity; the inadequacy
of top-down governance models; governance failure; and the autonomy
of universities. It explores the conflict between the politics and
economics of governance and efficiency; the promotion and
recruitment of senior office-bearers and teachers; the
privatization of colleges; and financing, admission and examination
systems. Through an in-depth study using empirical unit-level data
from the All-India Survey of Higher Education, examples and
theoretical frameworks, the book analyzes the reasons for the
underperformance of the governance system of higher education in
Bihar. It also offers suggestions and policy recommendations to
help improve its planning and management via participative and
responsible governance and informed institutional leadership. This
book will be of interest to students, teachers and researchers of
education, higher education, economics, governance and public
administration, and development studies. It will also be useful to
educationists and experts, education administrators, policymakers,
bureaucrats and the governing bodies of higher education
institutions.
