New Delhi, 9 Sep 2025
India aims to raise its Gross Enrollment Ratio in higher education from 28.4% to 50% by 2035. This big goal needs different plans for each state, not just one plan for the whole country. States like Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, and Bihar face different challenges in higher education.
Different States, Different Needs
Tamil Nadu has almost reached the 50% goal. It now needs to focus on making education better. Maharashtra has some very good colleges, but needs to spread this quality to more places. Uttar Pradesh has a huge population, so even a small increase in students means millions more people in college. Bihar is just starting out and needs to build many new colleges and get more teachers.
How to Reach the Goal
The central government should help states based on their needs. It should give more money to states that need it most, like Bihar. It should also make rules that allow states to try new ways of teaching. Companies should work closely with colleges to make sure students learn useful skills. This can include helping make study plans and giving students work experience. By working together, India can reach its goal of 50% enrollment in higher education.
The government will review progress towards the 50% enrollment goal next year. Follow The Rising News for more verified updates.
