    The president -elect should change the nature and structure of Higher Education in India. When he was the governor of Bihar, he did function as a custodian of universities and was able to rein in the university running system. For this task, he was supported by Bihar CM, Nitesh Kumar. After becoming president of India, Shri Kovind could play a major role in the reformation of Higher Education System of India.
