According to IBEF, India is an important educational centre in the global education industry. India has more than 1.4 million schools and more than 35,000 higher education institutes. India has one of the largest higher education systems in the world and there is still a lot of potential for further development in the education system. India's online education market size is expected to touch US$ 40 billion by 2017. The RNCOS report titled, Booming Distance Education Market Outlook 2018 expects the distance education market in India to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 34 per cent during 2013-14 to 2017-18.

The higher education system in India has witnessed remarkable growth in the past few years. India is ahead of most other developed countries in the field of education and training. The number of institutes offering higher education is much more in India as compared to China and the US. All this has also led to a rise in the number of libraries being opened around the country. Universities and colleges in India have huge libraries these days. Even schools all around the country are building and maintaining big libraries. The Government of India is also supporting this cause of having more learning centres and thus, many state of the art public libraries are being established. All these developments have opened up many career opportunities for Librarian Films and related staff.
