India possesses a highly developed higher education system, which offers the facility of education and training in almost all streams of studies - from humanities to sciences to business. However, the flip side to the India's education story is that its track record in R&D is quite poor. This is reflected in the fact that not even one per cent of Indian students pursuing higher studies opt for research-oriented courses. In this episode of Heads Up, we take an in-depth look at the present situation and possible solutions.
