Transition from Elite to Mass System
of Higher Education in India: Implications
for Access and Equity

Post 1990s marked a significant shift in the way higher education had expanded in many countries including India. There was a definite shift in the policies, patterns of institutional expansion and the student composition in different types of higher education institutions. The presentation aims to examine some of these trends in the past three decades. It aims to argue that though the expansion of higher education had widened access and allowed transition of Indian higher education from elite to mass system in shortest possible time, it actually remained limited to the socially privileged and, in fact, brought new kinds of inequalities into sharp focus. This indeed had exacerbated existing inequalities making expansion of and access to higher education inequitable. In short, the presentation seeks to answer the question: What does expansion mean in Neoliberal times?

Student Suicides in Elite Institutions of Higher
Education: A Re-reading of Durkheimian Sociology
for Possible Explanation

The student suicides in higher education institutions have been on the rise in the past ten to twenty years in India and these suicides are largely occurring within the elite institutions of higher education such as IITs, central universities and other institutions of national importance. Further, the suicides are largely committed by students from socially disadvantaged sections such as SCs, STs and other minorities. Despite the rising trends of student suicides in India, there have hardly been any serious attempts to explain and interpret the contexts and causes of such suicides from a sociological frame. The proposed presentation thus makes an attempt to examine the issue by reading into Durkheimian contributions and see if they can provide sufficient explanation of student suicides in the milieu of higher education in India.
