Abstract: Two prime objectives of higher education are (a) to fight poverty of people through development of labour productivity of individual citizens within a country, and (b) to fight national poverty of a country through scientific and technological development. One significant departure from these in recent years is the growing recognition of higher education as an item of international trade, under the purview of General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) in WTO. It is in this context that the 21st century is particularly poised for an epoch of knowledge as power.
