Commerce

Second National Level Interdisciplinary Seminar on "Exploring Emerging Trends and Innovation in Research in Commerce, Science & Technology, Humanities and Social Sciences”

The twenty first century has brought a great number of new ideas on direction of higher education. The world economy is experiencing an unprecedented change. There have been fast paced developments in science and technology, competition and internationalization. These are revolutionizing the education sector. We are witnessing paradigm shift in higher education. National standards have given way to global standards of education. Societies have to increase productivity to sustain growth that will achieve desirable goals, such as reducing poverty. Education is increasingly seen by governments as a major contributor to national wealth and economic development. In addition, the increasingly competitive environment needs continuous improvement of countries’ quality standards and meets international norms of their education systems. State control in education is making way to an `open market economy' . It is no longer thought that `one time education for a few' should be the goal. The idea is to encourage life long education for all. The system is changing from being teachers-centred' to learner-centred education.
