Abstract

This article gives a brief introduction to the structure of higher education programs in chemical and general sciences in India. The lack of high quality chemical education in India in the past is traced back to the economic and social developments of the past. Remedial measures undertaken recently to improve the overall quality of chemical education and research are indicated. For the chemical education community worldwide, opportunities in India for enhancing chemistry education quality through collaborations in technical and commercial undertakings are indicated.
