Country like India has huge youth population and they are frontiers of the Make in India Campaign, which is the mission of Prime Minister of India- Shriman. Narendra Modiji. When India is attracting most of the foreign universities and having good place for them but mean while the quality and ethical values of HEIs in India is deteriorating. The present education system seems like factories which is producing many literate persons but they are unsuccessful in the struggle of life. In present scenario, education means how to earn money or job and the aspect of values and morals is completely neglected. This attitude has increased many perpetual problems in Indian education system. Corruption, privatization, absence of teacher, undue political interference is the probable causes of ethical deterioration of Indian education system. Hence an attempt has been made to analyze the values and ethics in Higher Education and the current scenario in Indian HEIs. Thus there is an urgent need to re-introduce value based education in the curriculum dealing specifically with human values, to redesign the fabric of Indian educational system. In India, it is necessary to increase ethical values, philosophical thinking, study, research and moral development in education system, as it has been well said that, the true philosophy of education lies in the combination of virtues, values and validity of human life.
