Synopsis "Quo Vadis College Campus?: Glimpses of Indian Higher Education"
India has a long history of education. Since Vedic period, India has guru-shishya parambara in which the students stayed with the guru in monasteries and temples of learning, who patronized his disciples as his own children and part of the family. This Vedic education is a fine combination of philosophy, astronomy, mathematics, spirituality, formation of character, development of personality, cultivation of civil and social sense, promotion of social efficacy, preservation and spread of local culture. All these have become futile by greedy materialism today. Quo Vadis College Campus? Where are you going College Campus - is a very meaningful question not only academicians, but every Indian citizen who desires good for the country and its youth should ask. The book talks about everything a college campus needs today: committed management, quality teachers, multicultural environment, career development, counselling for students and parents, evidence-based student empowerment program and Gurukul Model for individualised learning based on natural talents and future career options.
