A National Research Foundation (NRF) will be set up for invigorating innovation and research under recently released Nation Education Policy (NEP)," he said. The minister said this year, the category of women only higher educational institutions was introduced to encourage women and bringing gender parity in the areas of innovation and entrepreneurship. Avinashilingam Institute for Home Science and Higher Education for Women bagged the top prize in the category. Releasing the ranking, Vice President Venkaiah Naidu said, "Innovation has always been key defining feature of human progress. India has its own illustrious history of innovations spanning at least 20 centuries right from the invention of 'zero' and the decimal system. India was known as the 'vishwa guru'. We must regain that intellectual leadership, we must again emerge as a global hub of learning and innovation." "We have highly talented youths brimming with new ideas, with a passion for implementation and willingness to forge a new path. The youth will define our country's future. They need encouragement, facilitation and recognition, they must be given needed guidance and freedom to explore new frontiers," Naidu added.

In a matter of great pride for the Indian education system, often rebuked for its traditional ways, 16 institutes from India have found place in the list of 200 <keyword id="587884" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="top-universities">top universities</keyword> in the world. The rankings come from Times Higher Education BRICS and Emerging Economies. 
 
To make things better, the Indian Institute of Science has even managed to break into the top 20 and has been listed at No. 16, a first for the institute. Being ranked at 29, IIT Bombay has also entered the top 30. Last year, these institutes were at the numbers 25 and 37, respectively. 
 
Other Indian institutes that are in the list are IIT-Madras (to 36 from 44), IIT Delhi (to 37 from 56) and IIT-Guwahati (to 83 from 98). Some new names in the list are Jadavpur University, Savitribhai Phule Pune University, University of Calcutta, University of Delhi, Amrita University and Andhra University. However, IIT-Kharagpur, IIT-Roorkee, IIT-Kanpur, Aligarh Muslim University and Panjab University were declined places in the list. 
 
The top five in the list are Peking University (China), Tsinghua University (China), Lomonosov Moscow State University (Russia), University of Cape Town (South Africa) and National Taiwan University (Taiwan). 
 
"India will have to work harder to compete with other developing nations, such as Russia, which have a higher proportion of institutions in the upper echelons of the table. India is the only BRICS nation without a university in the top 10," Phil Baty, editor, Times Higher Education World University Rankings, told ET. "With the population of young people in the country continuing to expand, resulting in further pressure on resources, it is now more crucial than ever that India invests in research and strengthens its links with other nations," he continued.

16 Indian institutes feature in world’s top 200 universities list!

The elusive 'God particle' discovered by scientists in 2012 has always been hogging limelight for one reason or the other. Scientists at <keyword id="6624175" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="Cern">CERN</keyword>, a European research organisation, found the Higgs Boson while conducting the Compact Muon Solenoid (<keyword id="15615" type="CITY" weightage="60" keywordseo="cms">CMS</keyword>) experiment, which is part of the Large Hadron Collider. CERN is expected to re-collect data around March 2015, and this time the team will onboard another member from India—IIT-Madras that is. 
 
CERN has collaborated with IIT-Madras to solve the mystery of the Gods particle, and the India’s premier education institute is aiming to make the best use of this wonderful opportunity. 
 
Experts believe that the latest move will help students to excel in the field of Physics. Numerous PhD students from the Physics department will get to work in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world's largest and most powerful particle accelerator. 
 
On the other hand, members of various departments, which include physics, computer science and electrical engineering, at IIT-M can sharpen their skills by conducting experiments on data analysis, grid computing and high-end detector building. 
 
“Being connected to CERN can give many more students a taste of the power of fundamental research,” said Prafulla Kumar Behera of the physics department of IIT-Madras, pointing out that this is the first IIT and, in fact, the first institute from the southern States to have become a full member of the CMS. 
 It is important to note that Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai, and <keyword id="71684" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="Bhabha-Atomic-Research-Centre">Bhabha Atomic Research Centre</keyword>, Delhi and Panjab Universities have long been members of the CMS.
