In an era marked by intense global competition and rapid transformation, the quality of higher education has emerged as a decisive factor in shaping the future of nations. Once celebrated as a global hub of knowledge and scholarly excellence, India now faces significant challenges in maintaining and enhancing the quality of its higher education system. The growing concerns over declining educational standards, employability, and global competitiveness have made quality assurance and accreditation more critical than ever before. This book, 'Role of Total Quality Management (TQM) Practices in Assessment and Accreditation Process in Higher Education Institutions', offers a comprehensive and insightful exploration of how quality management principles can be leveraged to strengthen institutional performance and accreditation outcomes. Focusing specifically on Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Odisha, the study critically examines the effectiveness of TQM practices in addressing quality-related challenges and improving institutional standards. Drawing upon the foundational framework of Juran’s Trilogy-quality planning, quality control, and quality improvement-the book investigates their impact on institutional quality and accreditation processes. It provides a systematic analysis of how these dimensions influence assessment outcomes by national accrediting bodies such as NAAC and NBA. Through a robust empirical approach, the study captures the perspectives of faculty members across both public and private institutions, offering a balanced and realistic view of the current quality landscape.
