This report has highlighted the role of the private sector in Indian higher education, delineated key options for private sector players to establish and grow in the higher education space, and recommended steps that the Government could take to further encourage the participation of good quality private sector players in strengthening Indian higher education. In conclusion, while the private sector has played a key role in aiding the GER increase from 10% in 2000 to 13.8% in 2010, this role can be expected to increase further over the next decade considering the 30% GER target set by the government.
