We can build a Golden India by unleashing the potential of its 1.3 billion people and transforming its higher education system. With over 1/6th of the world's population, building a Golden India is not just critical for India and its people, it is just as important for the world. With 20-26 million children born each year in India, it is also an urgent issue. If education is the key to unleashing people's potential, then higher education, which sits at a critical junction of the society and nation, is the master key. Higher education system includes universities, colleges, and vocational schools. Well prepared professionals in all walks of lives and a thriving research, innovation, and entrepreneurship ecosystem can unleash India's vast potential, address its mega challenges, and make its environment and economy more vibrant and sustainable - i.e. a Golden India. In the next 35-50 years, India must educate and prepare 700 million to 1.3 billion young men and women for their lives and careers.
