&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;PATNA: &lt;/em&gt;Will Bihar be able to achieve the national target of raising gross enrolment ratio (GER) in higher education to 30% by 2020? As per indications, it seems impossible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Less than 1% of state&#039;s population is enrolled for higher education. The total number of boys and girls admitted in 250 constituent colleges and 350 affiliated colleges under 13 universities of the state is less than eight lakh against the Bihar population of nearly 10 crore. The GER in higher education in Bihar is just about 8% against the national average of about 20% and even below Jharkhand and Rajasthan. The GER is the ratio of students between 18 and 23 years of age enrolled in higher education institutions against the entire population in that age group.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Educationists say that so far as access to higher education is concerned, Bihar is way behind other states. As many as 25 districts out of 38 in Bihar are educationally backward.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The state government has taken initiative to set up some good institutions in recent years. Several institutions including Patna centre of BIT Mesra, IIT, National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT), National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research (NIPER) , Chanakya National Law University, Chandragupt Institute of Management, Aryabhatta Knowledge University and Nalanda University have come up recently and are doing well. But all these institutions are catering to the needs of only a microscopic section of state&#039;s youths.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Expressing his serious concern over the sluggish growth of higher education in the state, Federation of University Teachers&#039; Associations of Bihar (Futab) working president Kanhaiya Bahadur Sinha said the number of good colleges for talented students is much less than desired. &amp;quot;There is an acute shortage of engineering, medical and polytechnic institutions in the state, compelling a vast majority of the youth to migrate to other states,&amp;quot; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To attain the national level, the state needs additional 373 general colleges (arts, science and commerce), 236 engineering colleges, 139 medical colleges, 253 education colleges and 163 polytechnics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the 11th Plan, the state government had signed an MoU with the central government for opening 25 model colleges at district level. The Centre was to provide all the necessary funds for the purpose. But, not a single model college could be established so far. The state government&#039;s scheme of increasing the number of universities has also not materialised so far. As per National Knowledge Commission&#039;s recommendations, there should have been 50 universities in the state keeping in view its population. The recent government move to convert 50 selected colleges into centres of excellence is also moving at a snail&#039;s pace.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sinha said instead of wasting its energy on pay verification and other futile exercises, the state government should concentrate on improving the infrastructure of the existing colleges and universities, starting model institutions of higher education and initiating the process of appointment of teachers against vacant posts. &amp;quot;Unless our institutions are made globally competitive, students would continue to migrate to other states,&amp;quot; he added.

Less than 1% of state&#039;s population is enrolled for higher education. The total number of boys and girls admitted in 250 constituent colleges and 350 affiliated colleges under 13 universities of the state is less than eight lakh against the Bihar population of nearly 10 crore.

&lt;br /&gt;
The state government has taken initiative to set up some good institutions in recent years. Several institutions including Patna centre of BIT Mesra, IIT, National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT), National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research (NIPER) , Chanakya National Law University, Chandragupt Institute of Management, Aryabhatta Knowledge University and Nalanda University have come up recently and are doing well.

Expressing his serious concern over the sluggish growth of higher education in the state, Federation of University Teachers&#039; Associations of Bihar (Futab) working president Kanhaiya Bahadur Sinha said the number of good colleges for talented students is much less than desired. &amp;quot;There is an acute shortage of engineering, medical and polytechnic institutions in the state, compelling a vast majority of the youth to migrate to other states,&amp;quot; he said.&lt;br /&gt;

Sinha said instead of wasting its energy on pay verification and other futile exercises, the state government should concentrate on improving the infrastructure of the existing colleges and universities, starting model institutions of higher education and initiating the process of appointment of teachers against vacant posts. &amp;quot;Unless our institutions are made globally competitive, students would continue to migrate to other states,&amp;quot; he added.

As per indications, it seems impossible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Less than 1% of state&#039;s population is enrolled for higher education. The total number of boys and girls admitted in 250 constituent colleges and 350 affiliated colleges under 13 universities of the state is less than eight lakh against the Bihar population of nearly 10 crore. The GER in higher education in Bihar is just about 8% against the national average of about 20% and even below Jharkhand and Rajasthan. The GER is the ratio of students between 18 and 23 years of age enrolled in higher education institutions against the entire population in that age group.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Educationists say that so far as access to higher education is concerned, Bihar is way behind other states. As many as 25 districts out of 38 in Bihar are educationally backward.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The state government has taken initiative to set up some good institutions in recent years. Several institutions including Patna centre of BIT Mesra, IIT, National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT), National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research (NIPER) , Chanakya National Law University, Chandragupt Institute of Management, Aryabhatta Knowledge University and Nalanda University have come up recently and are doing well.

&lt;br /&gt;
Less than 1% of state&#039;s population is enrolled for higher education. The total number of boys and girls admitted in 250 constituent colleges and 350 affiliated colleges under 13 universities of the state is less than eight lakh against the Bihar population of nearly 10 crore.

Expressing his serious concern over the sluggish growth of higher education in the state, Federation of University Teachers&#039; Associations of Bihar (Futab) working president Kanhaiya Bahadur Sinha said the number of good colleges for talented students is much less than desired. &amp;quot;There is an acute shortage of engineering, medical and polytechnic institutions in the state, compelling a vast majority of the youth to migrate to other states,&amp;quot; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To attain the national level, the state needs additional 373 general colleges (arts, science and commerce), 236 engineering colleges, 139 medical colleges, 253 education colleges and 163 polytechnics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;PATNA: &lt;/em&gt;Will Bihar be able to achieve the national target of raising gross enrolment ratio (GER) in higher education to 30% by 2020? As per indications, it seems impossible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Less than 1% of state&#039;s population is enrolled for higher education. The total number of boys and girls admitted in 250 constituent colleges and 350 affiliated colleges under 13 universities of the state is less than eight lakh against the Bihar population of nearly 10 crore. The GER in higher education in Bihar is just about 8% against the national average of about 20% and even below Jharkhand and Rajasthan.

&lt;br /&gt;
Educationists say that so far as access to higher education is concerned, Bihar is way behind other states. As many as 25 districts out of 38 in Bihar are educationally backward.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The state government has taken initiative to set up some good institutions in recent years. Several institutions including Patna centre of BIT Mesra, IIT, National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT), National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research (NIPER) , Chanakya National Law University, Chandragupt Institute of Management, Aryabhatta Knowledge University and Nalanda University have come up recently and are doing well. But all these institutions are catering to the needs of only a microscopic section of state&#039;s youths.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Expressing his serious concern over the sluggish growth of higher education in the state, Federation of University Teachers&#039; Associations of Bihar (Futab) working president Kanhaiya Bahadur Sinha said the number of good colleges for talented students is much less than desired. &amp;quot;There is an acute shortage of engineering, medical and polytechnic institutions in the state, compelling a vast majority of the youth to migrate to other states,&amp;quot; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To attain the national level, the state needs additional 373 general colleges (arts, science and commerce), 236 engineering colleges, 139 medical colleges, 253 education colleges and 163 polytechnics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the 11th Plan, the state government had signed an MoU with the central government for opening 25 model colleges at district level.

<em>PATNA: </em>Will Bihar be able to achieve the national target of raising gross enrolment ratio (GER) in higher education to 30% by 2020? As per indications, it seems impossible.<br />
<br />
Less than 1% of state's population is enrolled for higher education. The total number of boys and girls admitted in 250 constituent colleges and 350 affiliated colleges under 13 universities of the state is less than eight lakh against the Bihar population of nearly 10 crore. The GER in higher education in Bihar is just about 8% against the national average of about 20% and even below Jharkhand and Rajasthan. The GER is the ratio of students between 18 and 23 years of age enrolled in higher education institutions against the entire population in that age group.<br />
<br />
Educationists say that so far as access to higher education is concerned, Bihar is way behind other states. As many as 25 districts out of 38 in Bihar are educationally backward.<br />
<br />
The state government has taken initiative to set up some good institutions in recent years. Several institutions including Patna centre of BIT Mesra, IIT, National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT), National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research (NIPER) , Chanakya National Law University, Chandragupt Institute of Management, Aryabhatta Knowledge University and Nalanda University have come up recently and are doing well. But all these institutions are catering to the needs of only a microscopic section of state's youths.<br />
<br />
Expressing his serious concern over the sluggish growth of higher education in the state, Federation of University Teachers' Associations of Bihar (Futab) working president Kanhaiya Bahadur Sinha said the number of good colleges for talented students is much less than desired. &quot;There is an acute shortage of engineering, medical and polytechnic institutions in the state, compelling a vast majority of the youth to migrate to other states,&quot; he said.<br />
<br />
To attain the national level, the state needs additional 373 general colleges (arts, science and commerce), 236 engineering colleges, 139 medical colleges, 253 education colleges and 163 polytechnics.<br />
<br />
In the 11th Plan, the state government had signed an MoU with the central government for opening 25 model colleges at district level. The Centre was to provide all the necessary funds for the purpose. But, not a single model college could be established so far. The state government's scheme of increasing the number of universities has also not materialised so far. As per National Knowledge Commission's recommendations, there should have been 50 universities in the state keeping in view its population. The recent government move to convert 50 selected colleges into centres of excellence is also moving at a snail's pace.<br />
<br />
Sinha said instead of wasting its energy on pay verification and other futile exercises, the state government should concentrate on improving the infrastructure of the existing colleges and universities, starting model institutions of higher education and initiating the process of appointment of teachers against vacant posts. &quot;Unless our institutions are made globally competitive, students would continue to migrate to other states,&quot; he added.

Higher education enrolment rate dismal in Bihar -BK Mishra

-The Times of India PATNA: Will Bihar be able to achieve the national target of raising gross enrolment ratio (GER) in higher education to 30% by 2020? As per indications, it seems impossible.
