The University Grants Commission has released a list of draft guidelines on preparing Institutional Development Plan (IDP) for universities and colleges as part of National Education Policy, or NEP 2020 implementation. UGC also made recommendations in relation to the campus development and enhancement of institutional infrastructure aligned to the NEP 2020.
The Higher Education regulator has sought feedback and suggestions on these draft guidelines from all the stakeholders by February 11, 2022. The proposed framework requires universities and colleges to develop an institutional development plan to assess human resources requirements, in terms of faculty and administrative staff shortages, physical infrastructural, technology requirements, student support, and teaching infrastructure.
The draft guidelines propose an action plan in order to upgrade academic facilities in each higher education institution to support them to transform into large multi-disciplinary institutions. The IDP recommendations include the creation of video-based classes, infrastructure for blended learning modes, and online learning. The UGC will also provide financial support to selected universities to improve the academic facilities required for the effective organisation of teaching-learning activities.
Under the Higher Education Council of India (HECI), which is set to replace UGC, a Higher Education Grants Council will be set up. The HEGC will carry out funding and financing of higher education based on transparent criteria, including the IDPs prepared by the institutions and the progress made on their implementation. HEGC will also be entrusted with the disbursement of scholarships and developmental funds for launching new focus areas and expanding quality programme offerings at HEIs across disciplines and fields
