Blessed by the pristine geography, the south Indian state Kerala has numerous achievements in its showcase.

It has the highest Human Development Index (HDI) in India, highest life expectancy, health care system compa-
rable to international standards and the list goes on. Kerala has set benchmarks for the country in various
walks of life.

The state is now on a unique course to redefine the education system in the country. Kerala has many
prestigious educational institutions in various fields. From IIM-K, IIT Palakkad to the upcoming Central Universi-
ty, the stage is set for the state to be the best in this field. It hosts almost all the national institutions. Private
educational institutions also play a vital role. The healthy competition in the field is propelling the state to
overall excellence in education.

The picturesque landscape of the state walled by the Western Ghats on one side and caressed by Arabi-
an sea is rightly called the Gods Own Country. The vital factor giving life to all the various achievements of the
state is the sophisticated infrastructure. Kerala is well connected geographically. The National Highway and
Railways runs through all the major cities. It has three international airports. These factors pulls up kerala
among the best place to study.Kerala has a literacy rate of about 94 percent underlining the fact that the lion’s
share of the population sports a better standard of living. Where else would one love to leran more.
Science and Technology is fast replacing the conventional life style with hitherto unheard techniques. Scope of

higher education is getting immense. At this juncture it is of paramount importance to weigh the educational

institutes on a scale of Quality. When the educational institutions outside the state merely churn out paper-

graduates the states institutions has performed better. Sheer number of colleges outside the state is no gauge

of quality. Kerala is conquering the higher education field by its quality. Affordable education is luring students

from outside kerala to pursue higher education in the state. It is only a matter of time for Kerala to emerge as a

leading destination for higher education in India

"cleverness" and ingeniare, meaning "to contrive, devise".

The early history of the automobile can be divided into a number of
eras, based on the prevalent means of propulsion. Later periods were
defined by trends in exterior styling, size, and utility preferences. In
1768, the first steam powered automobile capable of human transpor-
tation was built by Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot. In 1807, François Isaac de
Rivaz designed the first car powered by an internal combustion en-
gine fueled by hydrogen. In 1886, the first petrol or gasoline powered
automobile the Benz Patent-Motorwagen was invented by Karl
Benz.This is also considered to be the first "production" vehicle as Benz
made several other identical copies. At the turn of the 20th centu-
ry electrically powered automobiles appeared but only occupied a niche
market until the turn of the 21st century.

Growth of Higher Education in India

The changing economic scenario, global job requirements, emergence of borderless off-shore employment
opportunities became the driving force to define the priority areas in higher education during the last two
decades. Professional education, particularly in Engineering & Technology, Computer & Information Scienc-
es, Medicine, Pharmacy & Nursing, Management Sciences, Law and Education saw an explosive growth
with unprecedented participation of private managements and investments. The massive contribution of
the expansion with private investments into the Professional Education, particularly to meet the growth
and sustenance of the highly de-
manding Indian Industry as well
as facilitation of Indian-skilled
workforce for off-shore jobs has
been commendable. The fallback
of this shifting focus has been
that higher education system in
Social Sciences, Humanities, Arts,
and Pure & Applied Sciences saw
a setback. There has been a
steady shift in the student flow
from regular Undergraduate and
Postgraduate Programmes in
colleges and universities, to the
Professional Programmes. This
has also seriously affected the
research output in the universi-
ties and colleges. The other is-
sues of concern have been the overcommercialization of education in private professional institutions, low-
ering down of standards of teaching facilities and laboratories in a number of private institutions. The rea-
sons for these are many, but the main factor is the absence of national as well as regional linkage and mon-
itoring mechanism. There is lack of academic connectivity between governments, the autonomous statuto-
ry bodies and the institutions with regard to monitoring mechanisms which has resulted in poor norms of
accountability. The affiliation system prevailing in the country has become a routine ritual, which has not
only burdened the universities with the routine exercise of inspections and granting affiliation but has led
to rampant unfair practices across the country.
