"In the case of educational institutions which have been launched in the last decade or so, effective use of new media channels, is turning out to be a matter of survival," observed Ms. Aggarwal, using extensive data to establish her point. "The shutting down of numerous higher educational institutions in the last couple of years - mostly recently launched business schools and engineering colleges - has been majorly because they have not been able to get the right knowledge-partners to impress the target students. Students in urban centres spend anything between 4-16 hours on the net today! By 2015 the Internet infrastructure is all set to strengthen significantly in the semi-urban and far-flung rural spaces as well. Given the amount of time being spent by youngsters on the net, higher educational institutions can neglect tapping into new media and social media at their own peril."
