Improving Access to Higher Education
One of the most important ways to improve access to higher education is by providing scholarships to needy students.
India has the third-largest higher education system in the world; however, the enrolment ratio of students belonging to low-income groups and oppressed castes is abysmally low. Unequal access to education is a prominent cause of economic inequalities.
Numerous public & private scholarship schemes are available; however, they fail to reach suitable candidates.
