Ph.D is a genuine endeavor to acquire, create and amass more
knowledge. It is always carried out under the guidance of a
Supervisor. It
contributes substantially to the country for the development.
The target 2020
is to create 20,000 Ph.D per year and it requires lot of
planning and effort. This
paper discusses these for information.
1. IntroductionThe degree Doctor of Philosophy, generally
referred as Ph.D, carrys the impression
that the person who hole this degree has mastered the
intricacies of his subject and is an
expert in his field. With a name prefix with Ph.D, gives us
profound satisfaction, confidence,
and the sense of front runner in all professional activity with
leadership. It is the highest level
of academic degree, one can peruse any country, anywhere of the
globe. Planning for Ph.D
and competing successfully requires confidence, patience,
sincerity, hard work, and zeal for
in depth knowledge.
2. ObjectivesPh.D is a genuine endeavor to acquire, create and
amass more knowledge. The student
develop strong analytical skills, independent thinking, report

independent responsibilities to tackle different problems.
Hence, Ph.D are set forth with the following objectives on the
principle of (1) Achievement,
(2) Analysis, (3) Acquire and (4) Ability.
y Achievement of highest level of an academic degreey

Ph.Ds have more opportunity in academics. Technical education,
at present creates better
scope for Ph.D in Engineering, Science, particularly physics,
chemistry, and Mathematics,
English, Economics, Commerce and Management. With privatization
of higher education,
specifically technical education, there is a high rise of
engineering colleges in the country.
Presently AICTE put forth its guidelines that Professors as well
as Associate Professors must
have a Ph.D degree. In addition to this, sixth pay commission
awards special incentives forPh.D degree holders.
6. Contribution to NationHigher education must necessarily
develop three essential qualities i.e., duty,
discipline, and devotion to enable people to usefully contribute
to the society. The national
skill mission, chaired by Hon prime Minister, evolves around
optimal utilization of the
intellectual capabilities available both informal sector of
education as well as in other
sectors. Above all a Ph.D contribute substantially to the
country for the development in terms
of innovative knowledge, research findings, and transfer of the
findings to new and
marketable products, innovative process, specific service, or
its financial, scientific, orhumanitarian aspects.
7. Indian scenarioOnce upon a time, India was a leader to carry
out Ph.D work. Nalanda is one of the
great universities of the world in the recorded history, before
formation of Harvard or Yale or
Oxford University. Nalanda University had more than 10,000
students, and 2,000 professors
engaged in teaching, learning and research process. At present
India is producing average
8,900 Ph.Ds a year. On the other hand, few Indian students are
migrating to USA, Australia
and other countries to do their Ph.D with a hope to settle
there. It is still a fraction of the
number in comparison with China and USA, where the number is
above 50,000. The presentposition does not match with the
population and economy. Owing to this, the target 2020 is
to create 20,000 Ph.D per year.
Enhancing the output more than double means, there is urgent
requirement lot to
plan, to regulate, to dedicate, to supervise, to involve in the
system and in the process.
University, Institute, Departments, Research Guides should put
forward their transparent
guidelines and sincere dedication to make the mission
successful.
