The Indian universities MHRD UGC AICTE and all regulators and MOOCs are not in sync with each other and great confusion exists even today and Digital India without digital education is not at all possible. Digital India will be big failure without digital education...MOOCs and online delivery is clearly the future, but UGC is not at all allowing aa Universities to launch online degree programmes and still it is talking and forcing territorial restrictions on universities when internet has no barriers of countries borders. All University should be allowed to run online international programmes without any territorial barriers " Many are again talking about innovation in higher education and it is a refreshing change. The most conspicuous, challenging and controversial subject of these discussions is “MOOCs” – massive open online courses. MOOCs such as Coursera, Udacity and edX, many other MOOCs, have received extensive media coverage accompanied by a lot of commentary. Many students are getting MOOCs certificates. The University education system need to be changed .The degree awarding system and examination system is need to be changed .UGC and Regulators are still in first century era and do not want to adopt 21 century digital technology. 500 hundred year old class room is still lovable to them and they come with several old decade notes they teach to students by just reading them and writing on boards. Digital India without digital education is not at all possible.
