The HRD Ministry set up a committee under University Grants Commission chairman to prepare guidelines and measures to ensure that 'more and more' Indian students 'stay in India and study in India'.
Amid indications that many Indian students would not go abroad for higher studies this year due to Covid-19 pandemic, the Human Resource Development (HRD) Ministry has begun a move to increase the intake of 바카라well-performing바카라 universities and take some other measures for enrollment of such students.
The Ministry, at a meeting on Friday, presided over by HRD Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank, has also decided to work out a mechanism to help Indian students, who are returning to India from the US, the UK and various other countries due to Covid-19, complete their programmes.
The HRD Ministry set up a committee under University Grants Commission (UGC) chairman D P Singh to prepare guidelines and measures to ensure that 바카라more and more바카라 Indian students "stay in India and study in India."
The committee was also asked to formulate a mechanism for increasing intake in 바카라well performing바카라 universities and submit its report within a fortnight.
바카라Also mechanisms will be explored for starting multi-disciplinary and innovative programs, twinning and joint degree programmes, cross country designing of centers, facilitating online lectures by eminent faculty abroad, linkage between academia and industry, facilitate joint degree ventures and lateral entry to Indian higher education institutions,바카라 the ministry said.
The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) will come out with 바카라a white paper바카라 soon regarding measures to be taken after studying the entire scenario.
바카라Separate sub-committees consisting of the directors of the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), National Institutes of Technology (NITs), Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs), Council of Architecture (CoA) and vice chancellors of central universities will be created who will assist UGC and AICTE chiefs,바카라 the ministry added.
Addressing the meeting, the HRD Minister noted that many students, who wanted to pursue studies abroad, have decided to pursue their studies within India.
There are also rising number of Indian students returning to India with concern about completion of their studies, the minister observed.
바카라The HRD Ministry should make all efforts to look into the needs of both these categories of students,바카라 Pokhriyal said.
He stressed on the need to 바카라retain바카라 Indian students, who are aspiring to go abroad, by providing them with 바카라appropriate opportunities바카라 of education in premier institutions in India, support those Indian students, who are returning to India due to the pandemic, complete their programme.
Over 7 lakh students travelled abroad to pursue their studies in 2019.
바카라And, because of this, valuable foreign exchange moved out of India as well as many bright students. We should make all efforts to help bright students to pursue their education in India,바카라 HRD minister said.
The issue requires 바카라a thorough understanding바카라 of their present and future educational requirements, and career plans, which needs to be addressed 바카라appropriately바카라 with timely interventions, he added.
During the meeting, Union Minister of State for HRD, Sanjay Dhotre, said that there is a need to understand 바카라the root cause바카라 why students go abroad for studies. He suggested creation of 바카라adequate infrastructure바카라 in the Indian higher education institutions to ensure that students stay in India for their studies.
바카라The root causes are many. We should take every step to address the issues and also attract the international students to India under our Study in India programme,바카라 higher education secretary Amit Khare said.
