UGC directs HEIs to promote activities undertaken under G20 outreach programme on social media platforms

The University Grants Commission (UGC) has directed all the educational institutions in the country to ensure that all the events organised on G20 themes should be highlighted through the local and social media platforms of the institutions. Reports with photographs and videos may be uploaded on the UGC portal, the Commission said. The new notification comes in continuation to the notice released by UGC in January. 

Earlier, UGC said that "with the expectation that India’s G20 presidency should touch every student across the country, an innovative outreach programme, ‘University Connect’ has also been proposed in which the institutions can involve their students in a range of events on G20 themes, spread across the year. The programmes aim to project the youth as cultural ambassadors who can build long-lasting relationships with the G20 fraternity. This will be an opportunity to young Indians in bringing new ideas and perspectives to G20-related topics."

The Commission has also requested the universities to initiate an action plan and undertake suitable activities and ensure dissemination of the issues under the ambit of India's G20 presidency across different locales.

Special events including seminars, quiz, painting, crossword, declamation, marathon, cycling marathon and other competitions, can also be organised on G20-related themes at the institution and state levels, with a grand finale in September at the national level.

"All institutions will also undertake regular Swachchta campaigns in and around their respective campuses as part of the G20 event. G20 branded t-shirts, caps, wrist bands, and badges can be distributed to participating students and to National Service Scheme (NSS) and Nehru Yuva Kendra Sangathan (NYKS) volunteers. Institutions may ensure maximum community participation in these events," the UGC added.
