At rocket speed towards a science nation? Reforms and challenges in India’s higher education sector.

August 2023 saw a perfect sensation: India became the fourth country in the world to successfully land on the moon. This scientific triumph, close to the G20 summit in New Delhi, serves as a cornerstone bolstering India’s ambitions to assume a more prominent role in global politics, particularly as a nation at the forefront of science. For the country’s universities, these ambitions present both an opportunity and a challenge.
