The closing decade of 20th century saw major social, political and economic transformations on a global level. The developments, combined with increasingly rapid advances in the nature of and impact of information and communication technologies have had a powerful influence on all nations, societies and cultures worldwide. All this has intensified globalization. The system of higher education in India is one of the largest in the world and is continuing to expand. Many universities are burdened with unmanageable number of affiliated colleges, because of which many of the reputed universities and colleges have lost their eminent positions. Only a few manage to maintain their status and dignity in an environment of complex socio-economic pressures and worldwide changes in approaches to the educational process. In the Tenth Plan the University Grants Commission (UGC) indicated a vision for higher education making it more flexible in diversity of programmes, in its structure, its curricula in its delivery systems and in its use of innovative use of information and communication technologies. It was proposed to identify colleges and universities with potential and fund them for achieving excellence in teaching and research with greater academic, administrative and financial autonomy. It was thought that delinking colleges from affiliating universities would give them academic and operative freedom as well as credibility. As a result the question of ‘autonomy’ has recently received considerate attention in the main stream education. Autonomy is thus considered as an important tool for quality improvement of education. Successful implementation of the concept requires willing and honest participation of students, teachers and management in the educational process and their openness for scrutiny and audit. Besides, dependence on UGC or the State institutions also require some financial autonomy to mobilize resources
