There is no link, whatsoever, between the producers and users of manpower with the result that institutions of learning,essentially at the secondary, technical, and high levels, are not 1exactly aware of the end result and use of its manpower output. 2There has to be a complete synchronization and rapport betweenthe two sets: the producers and the users, happens in most of the 3countries, including the developing ones. There is no focus on the quality of education in terms of the depth and dimensions ofteaching and in terms of syllabi, but technical education does have 4some quality control. There are rarely any revisions and up gradation of courses either in the light of the changes occurring inthe given discipline, nor in terms of the country' s manpower 5requirements. Higher education is basically financed by the Governmentand that too without any reference to quality and output. It lacks of 6philanthropic support either from the Non Government Organizations or from the corporate world. In this era of reforms,the time is not far when higher education, funding entirely by the 7Government, will be tossed into suddenly free and competitivemarket with sharply increased government funding. It will then be 8termed as India's higher education open market, the initial impacton which will be largely negative. It is anticipated that many 9institutions at that time will get disintegrated, strangled by the lossof resources, ovenvhelming demand for resources that they would 10fail to provide, and the receivables they would not be able to recover.
