Knowledge center - a new learning paradigm for engineering education in India

Recently we started a knowledge center in our institute as a proactive initiative to compensate for the lacunae of our present education structures. Motivated by the aim to bring the focus of knowledge back into our education system, the initiative produced encouraging results. This paper discusses how, on one hand, this initiative has been useful in filling the gaps in the present system and how, on the other hand, it paved way for lot of further work that promise to keep the initiative growing. These results motivate us to suggest this initiative as a new learning paradigm for the overhaul of engineering education in India.
