NEW DELHI, SEPT 21, 2018: THE Union Minister for Human Resource Development, Mr Prakash Javadekar, yesterday addressed the National Workshop on Graded Autonomy for Vice Chancellors of Universities at New Delhi. While addressing the workshop Mr Javadekar said that “Autonomy is crucial for the Higher Educational Institutions to achieve excellence and the Government is committed to ensure autonomy of our Universities”.

The workshop was jointly organized by Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD)  and University Grants Commission (UGC) with a view to provide a platform to Vice-Chancellors from around 63 universities which have been categorized as Category I and Category II Institutions under UGC Regulations on Graded Autonomy. The senior officers of MHRD, UGC and select State governments were also present on this occasion, besides participants from 55 HEIs.

Mr Javadekar said that UGC regulations on graded autonomy is a major reform and the universities should fruitfully utilise this opportunity. Terming the 63 graded universities as “cream of the cream”, he further said that the Universities need to maintain high academic standards in order to sustain their autonomy. Citing the example of American Universities, he said that the best universities attract the best talent from around the world and thereby make important contribution to the development of the country.
