The Great Disconnect: Degrees, Jobs and Higher Education in J&K
The crisis of higher education in Jammu and Kashmir is not a crisis of resources. It is a crisis of vision DR. SM MURTUZA BUKHARI Few regions in India can claim the scale of public investment that has gone into higher education. We have sprawling university campuses, hundreds of acres of prime land, impressive administrative structures, qualified faculty, substantial public funding, and thousands of educated minds occupying positions of academic leadership. Yet despite these advantages, one uncomfortable question continues to haunt the sector: Why are our graduates struggling to find jobs while employers struggle to find skilled graduates? The answer lies in a disconnect that has become impossible to ignorethe disconnect between degrees and the marketplace. Take any major institution in the Union Territory. The campuses are impressive, the infrastructure is substantial, and the academic credentials are unquestionable. Yet the true measure of an educational institution is not the size of its campus or the height of its buildings. The true measure is the success of its students after graduation. A university can possess magnificent infrastructure, but if its graduates remain disconnected from employment opportunities, entrepreneurship, and emerging industries, something fundamental is broken. The modern economy is evolving at an extraordinary speed. Artificial intelligence, data analytics, renewable energy, tourism management, logistics, healthcare technology, digital services, and entrepreneurship are reshaping labour markets. Employers increasingly seek adaptability, practical skills, and problem-solving abilities rather than degrees alone. Unfortunately, many institutions continue to produce graduates for an economy that no longer exists. Curricula move slowly. Industry participation remains limited. Internship opportunities are inadequate. Placement ecosystems remain weak. Academic departments often function in isolation from market realities. The result is predictable: students obtain degrees but not direction. What makes this challenge particularly frustrating is that it cannot be attributed to a shortage of intellectual capital. Jammu and Kashmir has scholars, researchers, administrators, policymakers, and educational leaders in abundance. Committees are formed, meetings are held, and reports are written. Yet meaningful transformation remains elusive. The challenge is not the absence of ideas. It is the absence of execution. The recent opening of the higher education sector to private universities presents an opportunity to change course. If implemented wisely, the new policy framework can give higher education in Jammu and Kashmir the wings it desperately needs. Private colleges and universities should not be trapped in the same maze of procedural controls that have constrained innovation for years. Institutions should be empowered to design industry-relevant programmes, collaborate directly with employers, launch skill-oriented courses, and create local employment ecosystems. Regulation must ensure quality and transparency, but it should not become a barrier to growth. Universities and regulatory agencies must evolve from inspectors into mentors and facilitators. At the same time, the transformation of higher education cannot be left to private institutions alone. Government Degree Colleges remain the backbone of the educational system and must become central to any reform agenda. The first step is to replace compliance-driven evaluation with outcome-driven assessment. Colleges should not primarily be judged by the number of files maintained, forms submitted, or inspections conducted. They should be evaluated on graduate employability, industry partnerships, innovation, entrepreneurship, research output, student progression, and community impact. Second, the culture of fault-finding must give way to a culture of collaboration. Too often, educational oversight revolves around identifying deficiencies on paper rather than helping institutions solve problems. Universities and regulators should act as partners in institutional development rather than merely custodians of compliance. Third, administrative processes must become simpler and faster. Institutions should have the flexibility to introduce market-responsive programmes, establish industry collaborations, and respond to emerging economic opportunities without years of procedural delays. There is an important lesson to be learned from educational hubs such as Bengaluru and Pune. Many successful colleges in these cities operate from relatively modest urban campuses where land availability is limited, and infrastructure may not always conform to the idealised vision found in regulatory manuals. Yet these institutions consistently attract students, maintain strong industry partnerships, and produce employable graduates. Their success is not built on land banks or architectural grandeur. It is built on outcomes. Students and parents rarely choose institutions because of the size of a playground or the dimensions of a building. They choose institutions because they offer quality education, industry exposure, internships, placements, and career opportunities. This is where Jammu and Kashmir must undertake honest introspection. For too long, higher education has often been measured through visible symbolsnew buildings, larger campuses, administrative expansion, and regulatory compliance. While these elements have value, they are not ends in themselves. Higher education is not a construction project. It is a human development project. The real purpose of a college is not to maintain files. It is to transform lives. Jammu and Kashmir does not need more regulations. It does not need more committees. It does not need a larger compliance machinery. It needs a new philosophy of higher educationone that rewards innovation, values employability, encourages autonomy, promotes collaboration, and measures success through student outcomes. Our institutions already possess the land. They already possess the buildings. They already possess the budgets. They already possess the brains. What they need now is a vision that connects education with opportunity. If we can shift our focus from paperwork to performance, from control to collaboration, and from infrastructure to outcomes, Jammu and Kashmir can transform its colleges and universities into engines of innovation, employment, and economic growth. The future of higher education will not be determined by the walls we build. It will be determined by the wings we give our students.

Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20: Bengaluru Blasters scored a thrilling six-wicket victory over Gulbarga Mystics in the opening match of the Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20 tournament in Mysore on Saturday. Batting first, Gulbarga posted a challenging 201/5 in their 20 overs with handsome contributions from Prakhar Chaturvedi (64, 38 balls, 6 fours, 4 sixes) and Aarav Mahesh (63, 41 balls, 6 fours and 3 sixes). A vital contribution by captain Manish Pandey (19) and a 12-ball 20 by Thippa Reddy boosted the total past 200. Shubhang Hegde and Shreevathsa Acharya claimed two wickets each for 44 and 36 runs respectively for Gulbarga. Chasing 202 for victory, Bengaluru Blasters started confidently with Bhuvan Mohan Raju and Rohan Patil adding 88 runs for the opening partnership in 7.1 overs. They rotated the strike with clever strokes and kept the target in check. Bhuvan Mohan Raju's 29-ball 56 (3 fours, 4 sixes, strike rate 193.10) in the end became the fulcrum on which Bangalore Blasters built their victory Though the Mystics bounced back with a couple of quick wickets to reduce the Blasters to 122 for three in 11.3 overs, the initial good work done by the openers worked in their favour as they eventually coasted to victory with the final delivery. Krishnan Shrijith and Shubhang Hegde were instrumental in the drive towards the target as they stitched together a decisive partnership after the fall of the openers. Krishnan Shrijith made a 15-ball 22 (3 fours) and Shubhang Hegde a 26-ball 36 (2 fours, 1 six) to lead Bengaluru Blasters to a comfortable victory, though the margin may convey a close clash. Praveen Dubey gave the contest the finishing touch with an amazing 17-ball 32 (2 fours, 1 six). Paras Gurbax Arya was the most successful bowler for Gulbarga with figures of 2 for 34, while Macneil Noronha and Dhruv Prabhakar claimed a wicket each for 27 and 29 runs respectively.

No Injury Is Easy, But This One Has Hit The Hardest, Says Shreyanka After Being Ruled Out Of T20 WC
T20 World Cup: India offspin bowling allrounder Shreyanka Patil admitted her latest injury setback has been the hardest to take after a right ankle injury led to her being ruled out of the remainder of the 2026 ICC Womens T20 World Cup. During India's Group A clash against the Netherlands at Headingley on Wednesday, Shreyanka was stretchered off the field after twisting her right ankle on the first ball of the sixth over of the Netherlands' innings. Shreyanka had just come in to bowl and chased a ball towards midon, but went down on the field after twisting her right ankle. She immediately clutched her ankle and winced in pain, with teammates and physio rushing to her aid. Well, not every dream comes true. No injury is easy, but this one has hit the hardest. But in these last couple of days, I have been overwhelmed by the love I have received. I have seen so many messages, so many edits, and reels, and I truly appreciate them all. I know I have enough of you wishing well for me to get through this as well. Not every dream comes true, but I'm not going to stop dreaming! And like I said last year, heartbroken, but I will fly again, wrote Shreyanka on her social media accounts on Saturday. Shreyanka had made a comeback to international cricket from a long injury layoff earlier this year, and had featured in Indias win against Pakistan at Edgbaston, where she finished with 0-17 from three overs and took a breathtaking catch. Shreyankas absence is a major blow to India, given her effectiveness against lefthanders and her good record of bowling in the death overs. She had been one of the standout performers in the Womens Premier League (WPL), where her economy and strike rate in crunch situations made her a key asset for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB).
