The report said the UGC would allow giving degrees simultaneously by universities and colleges where students took their degrees. As part of its 10th plan, the UGC had decided to improve the quality of education and make it accessible to larger sections of the people. Special funding would be made available to institutes in backward areas, new colleges and universities.
It would set up institutions in collaboration with research laboratories and, thereby, support integrated five year teaching in science discipline with imbibed research component. It would pursue skill improvement activity of teachers and reward innovation in teaching and research.
It would also support individual research and support research ambience and help in identification of support institutions for focused research in traditional and emerging interdisciplinary subjects, support out reach activities and focus on programmes for women, ST/ST and differently-abled groups, the report said. It would provide incentives for academic, administrative and financial reforms and encourage resources mobilisation.
