A structured education framework goes a long way in creating a smart human capital, skilled
enough to build solutions for handling next-generation problems and making a long-lasting
societal impact. The higher education sector plays an important role in building the right set
of skills and establishing a global force to be reckoned with.
Several universities and affiliated colleges have been established across cross-functional
streams to cater to the needs of the burgeoning student group in India. These wide-ranging
educational opportunities have been accompanied by some critical challenges concerning
quality in higher education. Addressing these concerns should assume the topmost priority
across the higher education framework. In this regard, the role of Knowledge Management
(KM) and its proper dissemination assumes critical importance in redressing and
transforming the current higher education scenario and cannot be understated.
With the availability of disaggregated knowledge chunks in various forms across the
educational framework, it is imperative to establish streamlined processes, forums,
frameworks and policies to both promote existing KM practices and establish new processes
and tools with the help of technology. This paper discusses KM in higher educational
institutions, opportunities and challenges in undertaking initiatives for the professional
development of teachers in higher education, and how initiatives like Academic Performance
Indicators (API) and Career Advancement Scheme (CAS) can socialise knowledge practices
and tools among the greater community. This would go a long way in promoting sustainable
knowledge-sharing practices.
This paper critically analyses how initiatives like API can be instrumental in establishing a
broad assessment framework to improve the overall quality of services and propel quality
education to the fore. The CAS scheme was established by the University Grants
Commission (UGC), vide regulations dated 30.6.2010. If implemented in the right spirit, it
can act as a catalyst for the professional development of teachers across multiple levels and
make organic knowledge dissemination a reality.
Finally, the paper proposes recommendations for establishing particular KM and
dissemination practices to maintain a productive and efficient higher education framework
across India.
