      abstract = {The idea of making our country a developed nation and a 'Vishwaguru' by the 100th year of Independence in 2047 is not only about economic growth; it is also a cultural and intellectual renaissance. The role of Higher Education is going to be special, as the future 'factories and markets' will be created in the classrooms of universities. Though the current education system is vast, it still has a long way to go in terms of quality, resources, and employability. It becomes essential to restructure higher education around three pillars of economic, social and democratic development. There is a need to focus on skill development for future industries, make education more accessible in regional languages and develop the ability to think critically and lead. To achieve these goals, higher education needs to see an increase in funding with greater autonomy, industry partnership, and a shift in focus from research papers to patents and products. The regulator must leave the teaching-learning process alone, so that universities can themselves take up the responsibility to design their syllabi and hire and manage best in class faculty, and develop partnerships with foreign universities. Similarly, teachers need to think out-of-the-box and become mentors and facilitators. The single most important aim of education must be to create a 'job-generating' generation and not the other way around. India can become a global leader in innovation, peace, and prosperity by 2047 only when our labs create products that make the common man's life easy.},
