( TOI / 06 Mar 2022 )
Extract :
In a major
restructuring of higher education in India, the Centre plans to allow all its
affiliated colleges to become “ degree awarding multi-disciplinary autonomous Institutions “ by
2035
According to the
proposed guidelines, students would also be allowed to simultaneously pursue dual degrees
from two institutions,
earn 40 % credits from outside the parent University / college, and
allow colleges to form clusters or even larger University to offer
multi-disciplinary degrees
For the next two
weeks, the UGC is seeking suggestions from different
stakeholders before its committee
finalizes the guidelines
The idea is to set
up large multi-disciplinary HEIs in or near every
district by 2030
“ Today, most
employers are looking for people with multiple skills. For too long our Indian
Educational System has worked in silos and within very tight disciplinary
boundaries. And we want to remove those disciplinary
boundaries. Idea is to facilitate the student’s easy access to different
disciplines in a given cluster “ , UGC
Chairman, M Jagadesh Kumar told TOI ( cm.ugc@nic.in )
The policy speaks
of a three pronged strategy, one of which is to establish additional departments, which have not been the core
areas thus far of existing higher educational institutes
He said, in the
last five years, JNU has introduced engineering,
management, a school of traditional dance and music, making it a comprehensive
university providing multi-disciplinary education
===================================================
MY TAKE :
Dear Shri
Jagadesh Kumarji,
( cm.ugc@nic.in
)
Congratulations
for this long overdue reform
Some 35 years ago ( 1986 ), I was a member of a Committee appointed by
Govt of Maharashtra to prepare / submit a PROJECT REPORT for establishing an
AUTONOMOUS UNIVERSITY in Konkan region
This report
( which included a DRAFT of a BILL for grant of AUTONOMY to this University- to be
enacted as a LAW – as also a PERT NETWORK for
timely completion of the project ), could well serve as a MODEL
for setting up of those HEIs ( Higher Educational Institutes ), which Central
Government plans to set up in each district
Following
is the Index of the contents of that Project Report
With
whatever changes deemed fit, you may consider uploading such a DRAFT on UGC website and provide a
provision to submit their suggestions ONLINE
With regards,
Hemen Parekh / hcp@RecruitGuru.com / 09 March 2922
