Quality Assurance in Higher Education Institutions DrAnsari MQ
Quality does not occur, it evolves gradually with sincere efforts of one and all. It includes each and every individual of the institution. The cycle of quality takes time to stabilize, but once it gets its way into the heart and soul of the institution: the ball of quality rolls towards achieving excellence.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

CONCLUSION
9. According to British Higher Education Council:
Quality” is the central mystery of British Higher Education – a mystery in all the
variants of meaning and nuance of which the word is capable.
Quality is not perfection. It is improving your previous best and showing that you
are at the leading edge in most aspects
The concept of quality includes a set of standards.
Quality is degree of excellence or relative goodness, and so quality is not
excellence per we but it refers to an ascending degree of excellence -- perhaps
low quality, moderate quality and high quality.
Even among items or objects with "high quality" one can have higher quality and
another one may possess the highest quality.
10. Assurance
Assurance is the declaration of a commitment aimed at giving
confidence to one's intended clients, customer or public.
Quality assurance in education is demonstrated by a system of
principles and practices arranged logically to achieve certain
predetermined quality goals or objectives meant to give confidence to
students, parents and the public.
Assurance of Quality in higher education is a process of establishing
stakeholder confidence that provision (input, process and outcomes)
fulfils expectations or measures up to threshold minimum
requirements.
11. What is Quality Assurance (QA):
Quality Assurance is the planned and systematic review
process of an institution or program to determine whether or

The means by which an institution can guarantee with
confidence and certainty, that the standards and quality of its
educational provision are being maintained and enhanced.
Quality Assurance provide tools and processes to enable us
to meet our goals.
17. Definition of Accreditation
Accreditation (standard-based approach)
“a process of quality control and assurance in higher education,
whereby, as a result of inspection or assessment, or both, an
institution or its programmes are recognised as meeting
minimum acceptable standards”
Accreditation (fitness-for-purpose approach)
“an accreditation system should provide elements to analyse the
quality of the institution’s performance and relevance in
accomplishing its mission”
