Abstract
The article presents in brief, an Introspection of higher & technical education in India, vis-�-vis institutions elsewhere ranking high in the world list. Absence of Research and innovation in curriculum of Indian universities & colleges is the major, structural weakness, on account of which they have become godowns, i.e. store houses of old outdated knowledge. They are not the fountain heads of new knowledge and new technology, much needed in competitive world. How do you expect them to teach latest? So thousands of students every year are going abroad to learn latest in higher education. Indian universities and colleges lack infrastructure like B M Naik Founder Principal, SGGS Nanded

Today, educated unemployment is a wide spread and serious problem in India. What is wanted is not taught and what is taught is not wanted. Students want to make most of their youthful time to acquire capabilities and become competitive in global market. India in spite of abundant natural resources and brilliant people has remained a developing country with huge population living below poverty line. Purpose of the study is to transform Indian universities and colleges in to world class institutions and make India a developed country by 2022 as declared by government. Suggestions like professors need to be deputed to world best institutions to study their policies and practices, visions and missions are made. No reform in India is more urgent than reform in higher and technical education. This has to be realised, so as to secure the future of young generation.
