Respected Faculty/Scholar/Professor,

Milestone Education Review (The Journal of Ideas on Educational & Social Transformation) is an online peer-reviewed bi-annual journal of Milestone Education Society (Regd.) Pehowa (Kurukshetra). For us education refers to any act or experience that has a formative effect on the mind, character, or physical ability of an individual. The role of education must be as an instrument of social change and social transformation. Social transformation refers to large scale of social change as in cultural reforms and transformations. The first occurs with the individual, the second with the social system.

This is a special call for papers for Milestone Education Review, Year 05, No. 02 (October, 2014) issue.

The education system in India, especially Higher Education is rapidly changing due to the policies of privatization followed by the Govt. of India. This accompanied by the thrust on increasing the enrolment ratio in higher education, has helped in opening of more colleges and universities based upon public, private and public-private funding models.
