The traditional “chalk and talk” method of teaching, which has persisted for hundreds of years, is now showing inferior results when compared with the more modern and revolutionary teaching methods that are available for use in schools today. The higher education in India is controlled by various statutory agencies, such as the All India Council of Tech. Education (AICTE), Bar council of India (BCI), Council of Architecture (COA), Indian nursing Council (INC), Medical Council of India (MCI), National Council on Teacher Education (NCTE) & University Grants Commission (UGC) and many others. Various government initiatives are being taken to boost the growth of the distance education market, besides focusing on new education techniques such as E-learning and M-learning. Introducing NCHER in India to control all types of education of discipline thus may bring revolutionary changes by merging the other centralized authority like AICTE will submerge under NCHER to form a single governing authority. This book is meant to give an insight into the current experimental approach for improving the education system in India.
