Description:
There is an increased focus on adapting good governance practices by higher education institutions
to improve their effectiveness and performance. The intended reform process of institutional
governance focuses on more accountability towards stakeholders, flexibility and responsiveness to
market needs and a capacity for developing strategic goals that are attuned to the people that
institutions are serving.
The World Bank and MHRD, through its TEQIP national Project Implementation Unit (NPIU) have
undertaken a major reform initiative in governance to unleash the potential of Indian Engineering
Educational Institutes. Under this initiative they have come up with ‘Good Practice Guide for
Governing Bodies’, which comprehensively brings about the best practices, experience and
recommendations for good Governance developed both in India and elsewhere.
B. V. Bhoomaraddi College of Engineering and Technology, Hubballi, being a TEQIP-II institution,
undertook governance reform process in the last three years. The college is considered as one of the
two pilot colleges in India for implementing Good Governance practices as per the ‘Good Practice
Guide for Governing Bodies’. I will be sharing our experience in adapting these practices and the
challenges associated with them in the Indian context.
