Abstract

For any nation, a quality & sound education system is inevitable & indispensable for its overall growth and development. The time has come to look for new avenues for effective education with respect to all, imparting new life skills. The utmost aim of education is to impart the way to live life by developing high rank of intelligence which can deal with reality and be ready for consequences. The need to teach a segregated conceptual thinking process which had led many discoveries in past and think upon necessities and draw their way, a way how to think rather what to think. And while India might have made many a stride in several other sectors, education still reels under many problems, from a solid vision to effective execution of plans whose foundation have been laid for decades. With the advent of technology though, things are slowly changing for the better and the wheels of progress seem to be moving in the right direction. Yet, it would be pre- mature to think that digital education can solve the problems that plague the Indian education landscape. In a country where parents and even students have still not embraced technology to the fullest, only a seamless blend of technological and traditional pedagogical tools cannot create a palpable impact on the way education is consumed. The present paper is a modest attempt to analyses the aim, objective, role & impact of NAAC regarding the higher education in the context of the modern era.
