India is in throes of reviving its high growth trajectory through Make-in-India campaign. The thrust is to realize National Manufacturing Policy (NMP), bolster Public Private Partnership (PPP), and improve inflow of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). Higher education policy has therefore become a critical link in this campaign as it would upscale Human Development Index (HDI) and improve employment opportunity of around 10 million additional workforce who seek jobs every year. This paper takes an overview of the policy so far, recommendation of high power committees to improve private industry participation and foreign collaboration and strongly advocates the need to increase government’s commitment towards allocation to education, increase thrust on research and development, Improve Total Factor Productivity (TFP) and to abdicate the ideological slug fest in order to realize the immense potential that a high global connect provides.
