Making scholarships integral to India’s academic culture

What Happened

India's higher education institutions have grown from 51,534 to over 70,000 since 2014-15, yet gross enrollment ratio remains at 29.5%. Expanding capacity alone is insufficient; affordability and access are critical barriers for students in smaller cities. Scholarships must transition from peripheral support to integrated pathways within the education system to achieve the 50% enrollment target.
