New ranking system for Indian Universities |
Indian President Ram Nath Kovind on Monday released the India Rankings - 2019 and presented the India Rankings awards to top eight institutions in different categories at a function held at Vigyan Bhawan in New Delhi. During the event, the president also released the Atal Ranking of Institutions on Innovation Achievements (ARIIA) and presented the ARIIA awards to the top two institutions. Addressing the gathering, President Kovind outlined the recent expansion of higher education in India and said that it has widened access and improved equity. He said, "A ranking system of such a nature fosters a spirit of healthy competition between institutions. This is vital because all institutions are today competing for talent - teaching talent, research talent, the most talented students, and even the most enlightened administrators. If an institution wants to attract the best, it too has to be among the best. It has to provide an encouraging atmosphere and suitable campus culture for students and members of the academic community.
