Professors working in various Universities and institutes in India have, for a time, desired to have a common platform for discussing vital issues concerning Indian Higher Education System that have a bearing on the development of the society as a whole. Undisputedly, India has made long strides in the area of Higher Education with the Indian academia having established themselves internationally in various areas of specializations along with the Indian students making a mark world over. Sadly, though, it has also witnessed a decline in the academic values and educational governance because of the increasing preponderance of unethical practices such as nepotism, corruption and blatant statutory violations that are carried out under the patronage of a select few. As a result, scholarly, hardworking and honest academicians who believe in academic professionalism and values are being increasingly marginalized in the University and Higher Education System. This has serious portents as the quality and also the credibility of the Higher Education System in India gets jeopardized. Besides the teachers’ organizations there are no such bodies to expose, represent and fight against the malpractices that have crept into the system. In a scenario of this kind there is a need for rejuvenating university system including governance which directly affects the academic life and quality. It is with this objective that like minded scholars have come forward and decided to establish the Professors’ Forum of India
