Abstract	Higher education systems are increasingly starved of financial resources. India is not an exception. The recent trends in financing of higher education in India are indeed disturbing. Quite a few important proposals are being made in this context by national governments and international organizations in order to adjust higher education financing to the reduced resources. In this paper a select few proposals are described, the national and international experience on the same is contrasted with each proposal, and the necessary lessons are drawn. The proposals are: 1) Reduce the state expenditure (subsidies), 2) increase fees (cost recovery), 3) along with this introduce efficient scholarship schemes, 4) introduce student loan schemes, 5) reduce the demand for higher education, 6) concentrate on basic education. It is shown that the suggestions that are being made for developing countries do not have empirical validity, if the practices of developed countries are taken to provide any guidance.(DIPF/Text übernommen/ Bi)
