Education is the foundation stone for the development of an economy. The Indian higher education system is the world's third largest, providing education and training in almost every discipline. From 3.85 crore in 2019-20, the total number of students enrolled in higher education has climbed to about 4.14 crore in 2020-21. The number of students enrolled has increased significantly by almost 72 lakh (21%) from 2014-15. But still India is unable to improve basic problems of higher educational institutes, ultimately it resulted in unemployment among youth. As per the new mission of Atmanirbhar Bharat, there is a need to make the people of India selfreliant. So, there is need to improve the standard of higher education to train fresh graduates in new skills. Beside it, the India's target of Atmanirbhar Bharat can be achieved only if government, industry and academia come together and form a golden triangle. Through This paper, an attempt is made to highlight the important initiatives taken by the government for the promotion of higher education in India and its effect on gross enrollment ratio.
