2 Conference Forward The Higher Education (HE) system has evolved through the ages to serve the current and immediate future needs of the society. The first formal version of HE 1.0 addressed Guru-Shishya method of teaching, HE 2.0 dealt with mass education with the teacher as the knowledge provider and the student as the passive recipient, HE 3.0 emphasised on the use of computers and internet in teaching and learning, which helped in increasing access and equity and HE 4.0 emphasised on high-speed internet, mobile technology, social media platforms etc. HE 4.0 will move from painful data dumping to the quest for creativity, collaboration, problem solving ability, higher order thinking, and the sheer joy of discovery. It is no longer just about cognition in a classroom; it is about total immersion of the leaner in real life situations. It facilitates personalized learning anytime anywhere and changes the role of teachers to facilitators and mentors. The challenge of HE 4.0 is to develop curriculum and delivery systems that are relevant to the region, economic area and level of economic development, maturity of markets and aspiration of the society. If the aspirations of the society are met, then the current challenges of migration of people from rural to semi urban and semi urban to urban will decrease, thus preventing the decay of cities and towns, solving the issues of congestion and bringing about equitable use of resources to a large extent. The pace of change in geopolitical scenario, aspirations of global society and advances of technology and science will make it almost inescapable that the beneficiaries of Higher Education 4.0 have to continuously and regularly unlearn and relearn. It is also about time that the educators go beyond the conceptual theories of entrepreneurial education. The motive is to develop right attitude, right skills and right eco system to create and sustain entrepreneurial ventures. Today, the sources of knowledge are global and hence, HE 4.0 is about preparing students for future leadership positions in a globalized knowledge society. Education institutions and regulatory framework have to embrace HE 4.0 technologies and processes at a much faster pace than it did more than three decades ago when computer education came to India. This conference will provide a platform for the stakeholders of Higher education to prepare a roadmap for all HEIs to adapt to this change. We are confident that various recommendations from this conference will help in formulating a long-term plan and strategies to achieve the objective of Education for all and Work for all and enable in fulfilling the aspirations of 1.25 billion people.
