India's higher education system is the third largest in the world next to the United States and China. Indian higher education system has expanded at a fast pace by adding nearly 20000 colleges and more than 8 million students in a decade from 2000-01 to 2010-11. As of 2011 India has 42 central universities, 275 state universities, 130 deemed universities, 90 private universities, 5 institutions established and functioning under the state act, and 93 institutions of national importance which includes IITs, AIIMs, NITs, among others. Some institution of India, such as the IITs, IIMs, and Jawaharlal Nehru University has been globally acclaimed for their standard of education. Even though Kerala possess a number of academically excellent people they don't catch up to the pioneering institutions. And the major reason behind that is the lack of awareness. They consider these institutions as an unreachable goal and 'pathfinder' acts as a tool to unveil the veil of unawareness.
