The incredible development in information technology has promoted learners' method of learning in both the formal and distance modes. Now, preparing future graduates for their place in a fast evolving 21st century society and global economy raises a number of challenges and possibilities. Higher education is struggling to keep up with the demands of changing world demographics along with the rapid rate of new communication technology diffusion and a volatile political economy. To ensure the effectiveness of academic programs in a globalized society, it is vital to take into account both teachers’ and students’ understandings of what globalization/ localization (“glocalization”) means to realize the problems, challenges and realities they may actually face upon graduation. Are teachers and students truly ready to take on the challenges of “glocalization” both inside and outside the classroom? This paper is an attempt to analyze the Indian position in endorsing positive Glocal learning experiences.
