The development of Indian higher education since independence has, in many respects, been impressive. UGC played a great role in higher education by assistance and grants for development of colleges, universities and institutions. Despite the criticism of the over expansion of higher education, the provision of postsecondary education to more than five million students and the expansion of postsecondary education from the cities to a much wider geographical area in a developing society is a significant achievement and one which has had considerable societal support over the years.
