Decision of the PAB

The PAB approved a total amount of Rs.64.48 crore for 5 components to the State of Uttarakhand for the financial year 2014-15, with the central share of Rs.58.04 crore. The PAB also approved an additional amount of Rs.25 crore under ‘special problems’ to the State of Uttarakhand.

SHEP Appraisal for the State of Uttar Pradesh The TSGs recommendation for 4 components out of the 16 proposed by the state was put before the PAB

Component 3: Infrastructure Grants to University: The state had proposed 16 universities under this component. The TSG proposed 14 Universities for funding to the PAB which met all norms of RUSA. Decision of PAB: PAB has approved 12 Universities for total funding of Rs.240 crore for the 2014-17 periods and funding of Rs. 120 Crore for 2014-15 @ Rs.10 crore each. Two universities which are uni-disciplinary and of special nature were dropped from the list of recommendations. All the universities must commit to apply for accreditation. The list of Universities approved is attached as MoMTable 4. Component 6: New Professional Colleges: State has proposed 8 districts for setting up of professional colleges. TSG has recommended the proposals for three districts namely Basti, Devipatan and Saharanpur.

Decision of PAB: PAB gave an in-principle approval for 2 professional colleges, at Basti and Devipatan subject to state submitting DPRs for the 2 districts. Shaharanpur has a high concentration of HEIs and was, therefore, not approved by the PAB. PAB gave approval for a total amount of Rs.52 crore for the two approved institutions and Rs.26 crore for 2014-15 @Rs.13 crore for each proposed professional college.

Component 7: Infrastructure Grants to Colleges: Out of the 142 government 12 B colleges proposed by the state, 66 colleges were prioritized and recommended for funding by TSG on the basis of enrolment, accreditation status and location. Decision of PAB: The PAB has approved funding of these 66 colleges at a total outlay of Rs. 132 crore @Rs.2 crore each for the 2014-17 period and Rs.66 crore for the 2014-15 year @ Rs. 1 crore each. List is attached as MoMTable 5.

Component 8: Research, Innovation and Quality Improvement: The state had given a proposal for Rs. 120 Crore under this component for the plan period. The TSG has recommended funding of Rs. 13 Crore under this component to the PAB. Decision PAB: PAB asked the state to put this component for funding in next PAB after submitting the detailed project report and after TSG appraises it. Hence NO FUNDING was approved in this PAB. Secretary (HE) suggested that the state should focus on only one area in the research domain. State informed that they will get a group of expert to draft the proposal.

Component 9: Equity Initiatives: The state had submitted a proposal of Rs.5 Crore. State has planned to set up language labs and training cells. Decision of PAB: PAB has not approved any funding under this component stating that a better and more holistic proposal may be submitted.

Component 11: Faculty Improvement: The state has given a proposal of Rs 10 Crores for this component for 2 academic staff colleges for developing teaching modules, training and development and quality control. TSG recommended this proposal. Decision of PAB: PAB approved funding for the ASC at Lucknow University. The amount approved for this component @ Rs. 10 crore for the 2014-17 period and Rs.4 crore for the year 2014-15. Infrastructure strengthening at the ASC will not be funded from RUSA funds, the PAB directed. When National Mission for Teach Training (NMTT) proposal is finalised in Ministry, State should look into the NMTT to seek the funds.

Component 12: Vocationalization of Higher Education: The state had proposed an amount of Rs 15 Crores under this component for the plan period. The TSG examined the proposal and recommended it to PAB for their approval. PAB did not consider this proposal stating that the Vocationalization of HE needs to merge with the existing traditional system. No funding approved for this year. State representatives informed that the plan has been drafted based on a study conducted by the state. State was told that UGC also has a scheme for community college and there is an option for tapping UGC’s funding. The state has also sought approval regarding the MMER unit and implementation in the state. PAB however responded that implementation and utilization of MMER funds is subject to state policy and PAB has no objection to it.

Minutes of the 5th Meeting of RUSA Project Approval Board (PAB) held on 10th December,2014

The fifth meeting of the RUSA Project Approval Board (PAB) was held on the 10th of December, 2014 at 3:00 PM under the Chairmanship of Shri. Satya N. Mohanty, Secretary, Higher Education, MHRD. The list of participants who attended the meeting is placed at MoMTable-6 Shri Harpreet Singh, Director (RUSA) introduced the agenda items for discussion.

The minutes of the meeting are as follows:-

Item 1: Presentation by TISS & UKIERI on Capacity Building and Leadership Development

Director (RUSA) invited Prof. Venkatesh to make a presentation on Capacity Building and Leadership Development. The presentation gave a brief overview of the challenges faced by the State Higher Education systems and the need to train higher education sector leaders, which would have huge implication for the success of RUSA. Tata Institute of Social Science (TISS) had extensive consultations with academics and experts from across the nation. Since leadership and governance are desired requirements in RUSA, this programme intends to create pool of leaders in the Indian academic world. The programme will run in four stages: First, review of leadership standards; Second, Program design with focus on content, Third, Capacity building and pilot implementation; and Fourth, National scale roll-out.

The Secretary (HE) asked whether the initiative would focus on the Registrars of the Educational Institutions since in majority of the universities the registrars and VCs came from the same departments. There is an element of comfort yet its impact needs to be studied.

Ms. Malyaj Varmani, Asst. Director, UK India Education and Research Initiative (UKIERI) spoke about the scope and vision of UKIERI and how leadership development has been a priority area. She spoke about UKIERI’s involvement with projects of University Grants Commission (UGC) and All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and Department of School Education & Literacy. She concluded by saying that UKIERI would be happy to be involved in the following areas of Leadership Development- Development of a national framework, Content creation, Capacity building and implementation, development of tool for blended learning and policy research.

PAB Decision:

TISS and UKIERI would prepare a collaborated report which will be examined in detail before being placed in the next meeting of PAB. Additional discussions: The Secretary (HE) in his opening remarks stated that RUSA should not lapse into becoming another grants giving scheme. It was important he mentioned, that RUSA interventions are strategic and seek to promote quality and excellence of higher education. National Assement and Accreditation Council (NAAC) accreditation would therefore be insisted upon for considering any proposal. On this account, the 12B status of an institutions should not be a factor if it qualifies for RUSA support.

The Secretary (HE) further observed that the two components of upgradation of a college to Model Degree College (MDC) and setting up of new MDCs need to be re- examined. The distinction between an Educationally Backward District (EBD) and a non EBD was an artificed construction and it should be left to the states to decide which district needs a new MDC and which one has a deserving existing college which can be proposed for upgradation. The Secretary (HE) agreed that this would be subject to the number of districts being restricted to the 2011 census and one MDC per district.

It was mentioned by Director (RUSA) that no. of proposals approved for new MDC had reached 51 against a physical target of 60 in the 12th Plan. He informed the Chair that an exercise would be undertaken in the National Project Directorate (NPD) for inter component scaling based on the demands and proposals received from the States under various components of RUSA.

Item 2: Appraisal of State Higher Education Plans (SHEPs) The PAB was apprised of the fact that 21 state plans have been submitted to MHRD, out of which the 10 SHEPs have been appraised by the Technical Support Group (TSG) and placed before the PAB in its 3rd and 4th Meetings for sanction of funds.

The SHEPs of States of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Chhattisgarh, Mizoram, Tripura and West Bengal were appraised and were placed before the PAB for recommendation and approval of funds.

SHEP Appraisal for the State of Arunachal Pradesh Arunachal Pradesh was the first state to be presented to the PAB. The TSG’s recommendation for 3 components out of the 12 proposed by the state was put before the PAB.

Component 5: Up-gradation of Existing Colleges to Model Degree Colleges. The state had proposed up gradation of two degree colleges at Papum Pare and East Siang district. TSG recommended both to the PAB for funding.

Decision of PAB The PAB approved these 2 proposals from non-EBD districts at Rs.8 crore for the 12th Plan Period @ Rs. 4.00 crore for each college, and Rs. 4 crore for the current financial year @ Rs. 2.00 crore each for 2014-15. The approval was accorded conditionally subject to submission of DPR.

The PAB was informed that the RUSA scheme provides for green field MDCs in the country’s 374 Educationally Backward Districts (EBDs) and upgradation of an existing college to an MDC in the rest of the districts. In the 12th Plan Period 60 MDCs can be sanctioned.

Component 6: New Professional Colleges: Arunachal Pradesh had proposed 2 new professional colleges in two districts of the sate, i.e. Papum Pare and East Siang. TSG recommended the proposal for only district, that of Papum Pare . Decision of PAB PAB gave an in-principle approval for the professional college subject to state submitting a detailed project report. The PAB approved the proposal at Rs. 26.00 crore for the plan period and @ Rs. 13.00 crore for 2014-15.

The state informed the PAB that it is very difficult for the students from north east to enter into existing institutions in the state and with sectors like hydropower emerging in the state youth need to be trained.

Component 7: Infrastructure Grants to Colleges The state had proposed infrastructure grants for 06 colleges.

4 colleges were prioritized by the TSG on the basis of non 12B and accreditation status.

Decision of PAB: The PAB approved funding for these 4 colleges at a total of Rs.8 crore @ Rs. 2.00 crore for each college for the Plan period and Rs. 4 crore for 2014-15 @ Rs. 1.00 crore for each college.

The TSG recommended 5 universities for the grants. All the recommended universities have commenced operations and being less than six years old are not eligible for NAAC accreditation.

The approval was for Rs.40 crore for 2014-17 at Rs 20 core per university and Rs. 20 crore for 2014-15 @Rs.10 crore per university.

The national GER is expected to reach 28 by the year 2017 and reaching 30

46 is possible without RUSA as well. States has the aspiration for increasing their base. The new institutions that are coming up are for equity and investment is for quality. Dir. (RUSA) informed the PAB that while RUSA may focus on non-12 B institutions, it does not exclude 12B institutions from funding. The PAB was in agreement with this view. The PAB observed that the fund from component -3 will not flow to the constituent colleges. The funds in this component will get utilised for the campus only. Universities which are ready for the accreditation can be given funds.

The Principal Secretary, Higher Education, West Bengal stated that the resource envelope for State, the size of West Bengal was too meagre. Secretary (HE) asked Director (RUSA) to have a relook at the inter-se resource allocation of States. Director (RUSA) stated that an exercise would be undertaken for both RE (2014-15) and BE (2015-16) based on the fund equalisation formula. However, instead of applying the “incentive, disincentive framework” the performance of states on funds utilisation on fulfilment of pre-requisites would be factored in.

The State had given one proposal for up gradation of Govt. VYT PG Autonomous College, Durg, to a new University. The TSG recommended the same to PAB. Decision of PAB: However, the PAB recommended that to maintain the quality of the autonomous college, it may be upgraded to a unitary-university instead of an affiliating one.

The TSG recommended setting up of 2 new model degree colleges in districts of Kanker and Jagdalpur. The PAB, however, approved 5 proposals from the EBD districts for funding and the State was requested to submit names of 5 new fresh districts which may be considered. Accordingly the State proposed for Rajnandgaon, Bastar, Kanker, Durg and Raipur. The approval was accorded conditionally subject to submission of DPR.

Decision of PAB:

The PAB approved a total outlay for New Model Degree Colleges for these five districts of Rs. 60 crore @ Rs. 12 crore each for the plan period and Rs. 30 crore for 2014-15 @Rs. 6 crore each.

The State has proposed 1 University for infrastructure grants & claimed a sum of Rs. 20 crores during 12th Plan and a total of Rs. 15 crore for the years 2014-15 & 2015-16. The proposal is of Goa University which is the single State University in the State located in North Goa district, affiliating all the Govt., Govt. Aided and Private Colleges (total 53).
