India should improve higher education standard

India should take up the challenge of improving the standard of higher education and give greater attention to research institutions to make them truly global, Lord Bhikhu Parekh, NRI Professor of Political Philosophy at the University of Westminster, has said.

While Beijing University has emerged as one of the top 20 universities in the world, there are no Indian universities among the top 100, Lord Parekh said in London on Thursday night.

Lord Parekh was participating in a panel discussion on Indias Sustainability Challenge jointly organised by The Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR), a leading progressive think tank and UKs Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) at the Commonwealth Club.
