"In any civilised society universities are symbolised in higher education. Universities are required to inculcate and develop the highest value of nationalism, liberalism, integrity and ethics and thus bringing out the finest values in human beings and to motivate them to strive for perfection.

To achieve the objectives of the university it needs social support as well as financial support. This book addresses itself to both the aspects, by focusing on the administration and the ways our universities receive and generate financial resources and how they spend the money at their disposal."
