Theperformance of an educational institution is judged not only on the basis of the quality of education being provided but also on the basis of its contribution to the society.

The present study concentrated on areas such as quality of higher education now, problems faced by the students and the service providers, benefits attained by the society and necessary strategies for improving the quality of higher education in the era of globalization, if the present scenario is falling short of being beneficial to one and all concerned.
