The Idea of a University

Product Description
Universities are facing an existential crisis and are being forced to rethink and redefine their role. They are constantly being asked to explain their utility. Universities are not only centres of knowledge but also catalysers of social mobility. In a hierarchical and divided society like India, universities are the only spaces where young men and women can find occasions, and the confidence to break social barriers.
