AISHE Cell
Higher education is a powerful tool to build knowledge based society of the 21st Century. India possesses a highly developed higher education system which offers facility of education and training in almost all aspects of human creative and intellectual endeavours. The official statistical system plays a key role in any society, especially, in a large and diverse democracy.
