Building the future: Leadership development in Indian higher education

The University Grants Commission (UGC) of India has recently approved comprehensive guidelines aimed at enhancing leadership skills within higher education institutions (HEIs) through the Institutional Development Plan (IDP). This initiative is critical in today’s rapidly evolving educational landscape, where effective leadership is paramount for navigating challenges and fostering innovation.

The UGC’s guidelines emphasize the need for a balanced approach that merges administrative responsibilities with encouraging inclusivity and collaboration with industry. As articulated by UGC Chairman Prof. M Jagadesh Kumar, nurturing leadership within HEIs is essential for addressing the complexities of modern education and ensuring that institutions are equipped to meet both local and national challenges.

The guidelines advocate for tailored leadership development programs that focus on skill enhancement, strategic visioning, and adaptive leadership. They suggest that HEIs should cultivate leaders who not only excel in academic administration but also inspire and mentor faculty and students alike.
