Enhancing India's higher education research ecosystem: Challenges and future pathways
India’s higher education system is evolving, with research and innovation becoming central to growth. Despite contributing 5% of global publications, India’s H-index and citation rates indicate a need for improved research quality. Key challenges include limited R&D funding, weak industry-academia ties, and a fragmented research ecosystem, all of which hinder India's global research standing. Enhanced R&D spending, stronger industry partnerships, interdisciplinary research, and improved facilities are crucial. NEP 2020, with National Research Foundation (NRF) backing, could position India as a global research leader. Persistent efforts may see India’s higher education institutions recognized globally by 2047.
