Abstract
Education is on concurrent list in India and so, is not for profit. Private participation in higher and technical education has been in existence ever since the modern education system developed in India. In past it was more for philanthropy and fulfillment of inner needs of kings, industrial houses who donated the land for promotion of education and helped in setting up of BHU, AMU, TISS, TIFR, ISS etc. As the aspiration of society for professional education increased while the public sector had limited access, sensing the business opportunity large number of entrepreneurs and business houses had worked meticulously to exploit the situation, while some offered access, some quality education and most offer run of the mill education to milk the cash cow. We have witnessed lot of changes in higher education sector in the last two decades, the public as well as private institutions are undergoing change but they also have to maintain continuity for growth, innovation, technology etc. The present paper had applied Interpretive Structuring Model to study the continuity and change forces in Education Sector the model has lot of policy implication for planner and implementers in Education Sector.
