In the 21st century world, India shares the challenge of higher education. Indian Higher Education Institutions should realise that this is an era of extreme competitiveness and consumerism. The main challenge before Indian higher education is to increase the access to education, maintaining equity while delivering the services. The implementation of e-Governance in the higher education institutes such as universities will facilitate to overcome this challenge posed before Indian higher education and enable it to enjoy its demographic dividend.
