Very interesting ideas and opinions have been expressed by learned members to improve the quality of management education in India, including in earlier threads. I would also like to submit some of my concerns, more than the ideas.
One thing is almost agreed by all that
1. There is urgent and dire need for improvement of the quality of management education in the country.
2. There is also strong need for industry and academic interface to facilitate development of both, faculty and students.
3. There are various ideas, opinions and approaches suggested by members, as to how best it could be achieved.
4. My concerns are as under:
a. Do we have real need for so many B-schools in the country with so much intake every year?
b. Do we have so many quality faculty available, or resources to develop them with reasonable competencies to discharge their roles effectively?
c. Do we have adequate supply of so many candidates with reasonable aptitude for management education every year?
d. Do we have enough industry executives with competencies to deliver in academic institutions, to transfer knowledge and practical skills effectively?
e. Are competent industry executives motivated enough to come to Bschools for periodic lectures / workshops ?
f. Are Bschools willing to commit resources required to attract competent industry executives for such workshops?
g. Do we have enough industrial and commercial organisations willing to provide summer training / internship effectively as envisaged in curriculum to management students?
h. Is summer training / internship of 45 days / six months of any use to most students in today's context?
I. Do we have enough Bschools faculty who can associate with industry and contribute in some significant way?
j. Are most Bschools providing reasonable package to young faculty to attract good talent ?
k. Are most Bschools providing reasonable package to attract good competent experienced faculty and continue to motivate and retain them for long term development of faculty and institutions.
While we may have different ideas on above issues, in my considered view, it is generally and unequivocally summarised with an emphatic NO, for most , if not all.
In conclusion,
A. We must prune the number of Bschools and total annual intake per institution judiciously, as per manpower forecasting for next 10-15 years,
B. Induct only competent faculty at all levels, providing them with reasonable packages, increments and other resources for periodic career development,
C. Make providing of summer training compulsory by industry under skill development scheme of PM and CSR in certain ratio, say 10 percent of technical staff strength,
D. It should also be made obligatory to keep two faculty, one each from different college, to supervise it,
E. Make visiting faculty from industry compulsory for bschools, by keeping a minimum budget in some proportion, say 10 / 20 percent of faculty annual budget.
F. Also make an inventory of competent executives from industry, sector wise, region wise and subject matter wise to draw from.
I think, few drastic steps by govt and academics together can only make management education world class in the county.

Saurav's comment is important. You can consider asking an OD expert to work with your colleagues.
There are several techniques. But starting point is organizational diagnosis.
I have also successfully used Appreciative Inquiry bypassing usual SWOT analysis for such college improvement. You may like to read up on the Net. However, external intervention is more powerful tool for organization development.
Prof. TV Rao formerly with IIMA is one of the finest experts. There are others like Satish Kalra, Rajen Gupta, Jaya Indiresan.But let me say, suggesting solutions without diagnosis is of no use.
