To achieve the holistic educational objectives the educational opportunities were decentral- ized; as a result, worldwide the rate of literates and the percentage of educated people are increased; especially in India was successfully achieved elementary, secondary, and higher education too. Further, the new education policy-2020 insisted to increase the enrolment ratio in higher education from 26.3% (2018) to 50% by 2035.

Keeping these as a background the researcher intended to describe the OBE as a need of the hour.
