As a nation, we are in a great dilemma on the financing of public higher educational institutions. Highly subsidized quality higher education, with admissions based strictly on merit, continues to be a great hope for upward socio- economic (345)[alternate]. This public demand has also ensured that there is consensus across the political spectrum on the need for setting up new IITs, IIMS, AIIMS, NITs, etc. On the other hand, as the number of such institutions increases, the (346) main] requirements for supporting them will prove to be a challenge. What are the alternatives? Globally there is a shift towards charging a higher (347) Fraction] of education costs as fees even in European countries where traditionally, higher education was completely free.
