India Higher Education Report 2025: Multidisciplinary Higher Education

This book delves into how India's National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 envisions multidisciplinary higher education as a transformative approach to equip learners with diverse perspectives and skills to address complex global challenges.Tracing the evolution of multidisciplinary higher education from ancient centres of learning such as Takshashila and Nalanda to modern specialized institutions, it advocates for a return to holistic learning. Unlike narrow disciplinary silos, multidisciplinary higher education integrates insights from diverse fields, blends methods and approaches to create innovative solutions, and transcends traditional boundaries to address real-world challenges.The book offers a comprehensive analysis of multidisciplinary higher education across five critical themes: foundational principles, global and local perspectives, governance and leadership, skill development and technology integration, and teacher professional development.Written by leading academicians, rese
