Major lacunae in allocating resources

·        Lack of comprehensive data related to higher education in India both at state and Central level.

·        The All India Survey on Higher Education report contains traces of more inaccurate statistics— adjusting “growth” in the number of teaching positions by changing the base year for comparison (to 2010-11 from 2013-14). 

·        Reduction in teaching jobs in the Universities, followed by higher salary package in the private universities leads to poor utilization of financial resources by the government.

·        Administrative delays in releasing research grants to the entitled beneficiaries results in losing hope on government by the candidates.

Measures needed

·        Timely release of funds to the research scientists from Higher education financing agency (HEFA) without any delays.

·        Collection of Comprehensive data on higher education by Ministry of Human resource development.

·        Effective implementation of Annual Refresher Programme in Teaching (ARPIT), a major and unique initiative of online professional development of 15 lakh higher education faculty using the MOOCs platform SWAYAM.

·        More autonomy and independence to University grants Commission as a funding body for higher education.
