Dr. M R Jayaram
As President, I am honored to lead our mission to elevate the quality and global standing of Indian education. It is only a national body dedicated to strengthening and transforming India’s higher education landscape. EPSI was founded with the vision of promoting excellence, innovation, and global engagement in Indian education, and over the years, we have evolved into a key stakeholder and knowledge partner to the Government of India in shaping educational policy and implementation strategies. We take pride in playing an active role in supporting the formulation and rollout of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and in driving meaningful reforms that promote quality, access, and equity across institutions.
At EPSI, we believe that sustainable and future-ready education can only be achieved through strong collaboration between academia, industry, and regulators. As a bridge among these stakeholders, EPSI facilitates continuous dialogue, strategic partnerships, and shared platforms that ensure education remains aligned with industry needs, global trends, and societal aspirations. Our efforts are aimed at making India not only a knowledge-driven economy but also a globally respected education hub. We work closely with regulatory bodies like UGC, AICTE, NAAC, and others to provide policy insights, data-backed recommendations, and thematic consultations that enrich the governance and functioning of higher education institutions.
EPSI is deeply engaged in policy advocacy, quality assurance, accreditation reforms, skill development, employability enhancement, and internationalization. Through focused sectoral committees, national consultations, institutional capacity-building programs, and global outreach initiatives like the NAFSA, EAIE, APAI. EPSI has emerged as a strong voice for private institutions across India. Our mission is to support institutions in becoming globally competitive while remaining rooted in the ethos of Indian knowledge systems and values.
As we move ahead, EPSI remains committed to championing the full realization of NEP 2020, enhancing research and innovation ecosystems, encouraging digital transformation, and facilitating student-centric reforms. We envision an education system where every learner has the opportunity to thrive, and every institution contributes to nation-building and global progress. I invite academic leaders, institutions, policymakers, industry representatives, and international collaborators to join hands with EPSI in shaping the future of Indian higher education. Together, we can build a resilient, inclusive, and globally benchmarked education system that meets the aspirations of our youth and the demands of a rapidly changing world.
