AGENDA ITEM-2 FUND EQUALIZATION FORMULA
While developing a fund equalisation formula in order to determine the resource envelope of states, it was important that broad and common indicators of higher education trends and needs are adopted and appropriate marks (out of 100) assigned to them. Thus the indicators of population (18-23) - 40 marks; institutional density – 10 marks; state govt.’s expenditure on higher education as a % of GSDP – 10 marks; Gross enrolment Ratio (GER) – 10 marks and; special problems -10 marks have been used in the fund equalisation formula. The indicator ‘special problems’ refers to conditions such as hilly and difficult terrain, insurgency affected areas which may exist in some states which must be recognized and compensated. There would of course be an underlying base funding of 20 marks will be provided to all States as an equal
3 | P a g e
amount. The marks have been assigned proportion to the relative importance of the six criteria. Table 1 refers.
While base funding remains equal across states, in order to evaluate states on the criteria of Population, Institutional Density, Spend on Higher Education and GER the states were categorised into 4 clusters for each of these criteria. States with higher population, lower institutional density and greater spending on higher education and lower GER get more marks. Marks on special problems are assigned only to states with these attributes. Table 2 refers.
Once marks have been given to states on these 6 criteria, a tentative allocation is arrived at for each state. The states are then evaluated on an Incentive -Disincentive Compatibility Framework to determine the final allocation to states based on (1) willingness, (2) adherence to timelines and (3) submission of SHEPs. Depending upon their performance on this framework, states are eligible to receive 100%, 66.7% or 33.3% of their tentative allocation as the final resource envelope for the year. Table 3 refers. The final resource envelope of states for the year 2014-15 is at Annexure 2.

AGENDA ITEM-3 APPRAISAL OF STATE HIGHER EDUCATION PLANS
The State Governments of Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Manipur, Nagaland, Punjab, Haryana and Uttarakhand have submitted their State Higher Education Plans (SHEP) till date. The TSG has appraised all the plans and two States (Uttarakhand & Haryana) have been asked to resubmit their plans to the Ministry as they have been found to be incomplete and the DCFs of these States had not been adequately filled for consideration.
The SHEPs of the rest of the Six States were appraised along with their DCFs. The observations and recommendations of the TSG have been summarised in an Appraisal Note for each of the SHEP which are placed at Annexure 3A to 3F.

AGENDA ITEM -4
Revisiting the decision of PAB taken in its 1st and 2nd meetings held on 06th November, 2013 and 12th March 2014 regarding approval of 60 Model Degree Colleges at an financial out lay of Rs. 238.5 crore for 12th Plan Period.
The Project Approval Board in its 1st and 2nd meetings held on 06th November 2013 and 12th March 2014 had approved a proposal of 60 New Model Degree Colleges during 12th Plan with an outlay of 238.5 crore, state-wise as per Annexure 5. Out of this, Rs.177 crore were released for 45 New Model Degree Colleges to Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, Uttar Pradesh, Andaman and Nicobar Islands and Tripura. The funds for remaining 15 Model Degree Colleges (08 in the State of Karnataka, 04 in the State of Kerala and 03 in the State of Uttar Pradesh) could not be released because Karnataka could not submit revised Detailed Project Reports for the MDCs, the proposals of Kerala and Uttar Pradesh for 04 and 03 MDCs respectively were rejected on account of non-fulfilling the criteria.
Meanwhile the proposals for 07 new MDCs (02 from Punjab, 01 from Nagaland, 02 from Manipur and 02 from Himachal Pradesh) have been received. In view of this it is proposed that PAB may please consider revisiting its earlier decision taken in its 1st and 2nd meetings to approve 60 new MDC and revise it as the approval of 45 new MDCs for an outlay of Rs. 177 crore to the States to whom the finances have been released i.e. Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, Uttar Pradesh, Andaman and Nicobar Islands and Tripura.
The assistance for remaining 15 new MDCs may be given to other States on merit after processing their proposals.
The matter is placed before PAB for consideration and approval.
Approval Sought
The Project Approval Board may consider and approve release of funds to the states of Gujarat, J&K, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Nagaland and Manipur to the extent of support sought by them under the RUSA components for the financial year 2014-15 as proposed in Annexure 3.

3. Summary of SHEP/DCF submitted:
1) Component 1: Creation of Universities by way of Upgradation of existing Autonomous Colleges
The State of Himachal Pradesh doesn’t have any autonomous colleges. Hence, no such university is proposed by way of upgradation and the component is not considered for funding.
2) Component 2: Creation of Universities by conversion of colleges in a cluster
This component is allocated Priority 1 during appraisal. The state has proposed three cluster universities at Shimla, Mandi and Dhaamshala districts by clubbing 3 to 5 nearby colleges & claimed a sum of Rs. 165 crores during 12th Plan and Rs. 30 crore for the current financial year 2014-15. TSG recommends funding @ Rs. 18.3 crores per Cluster University. The observations during the appraisal can be outlined as follows:
Shimla: Lead College- GC Sanjuli, 05 Cluster Colleges-RKMV, Shimla; RGGDC, Chaura Maidan; St. Bede's; GC Theog; GNSKTC Phagli: The proposal adheres to maximum RUSA norms of distance, accreditation, student enrolment, has three colleges as CPE, etc. but has high Student-Teacher Ratio & low teaching-non- teaching staff. Out of 5, only 4 cluster colleges can be considered (excluding GNSKTC Phagli) for it is a Sanskrit college & doesn’t fit the other RUSA norms. But even though the proposal best fits the norms, it should not be considered ideally for funding in lieu of spatial distribution of universities within the state. Shimla is already saturated with institutions and has the highest CPI (11.3) and GER (43.3).
Mandi: Lead College-GC Mandi, 03 Cluster Colleges-GC Darang at Narla; GC Bassa; MLSM Sunder Nagar: The proposal doesn’t best fits the norms as cluster colleges are located at very high distances (27-32 kms) and none of them are accredited or CPE; and have high student-teacher ratio. But the proposal may be considered as Mandi doesn't have any University, even though it ranks 4th in GER (22.4) & has Institutional Density of 15.9. The norm of distance (15-20 kms) needs to be relaxed to consider the proposal for funding.

Dharamshala: Lead College-GC Dharamshala, 05 Cluster Colleges-GCTE Dharamshala; GC Nagrota Bagwan; GC Shahpur; GC palampur; DAV Kangra: The proposal doesn’t best fits the norms as cluster colleges are located at very high distances (27-32 kms) and none of them are accredited and have high student- teacher ratio. But the proposal may be considered as Dharamshala falls in Kangra district which has highest population of 18-23 age students. Though Dharamshala has the Central University of Himachal Pradesh & an Agriculture University, both are non-affiliating. The norm of distance (15-20 kms) needs to be relaxed to consider the proposal for funding.
In lieu of above observations, the final decision to consider the proposals is left at PAB’s discretion.
3) Component 3: Infrastructure Grants to University
This component is allocated Priority 3 during appraisal. The state has proposed two Universities for infrastructure grants & claimed a sum of Rs. 40 crores during 12th Plan and Rs. 13 crore for the year 2014-15. First proposal of Himachal Pradesh University is considered for it adheres to the RUSA norms, included in 12B, NAAC accreditated and has already implemented academic reforms. Also, It is the sole university imparting General Education in the state and the funds would be used for upgrading infrastructure of its constituent colleges. The second proposal of Himachal Pradesh Technical University is not considered for it doesn’t adhere to RUSA norms. The university is recently established in 2011 but is non-teaching and hence funding won't be utilize for upgrading any existing academic infrastructure. TSG recommends funding per proposal @ Rs. 10 crores.
4) Component 4: New Model Colleges (General)
This component is allocated Priority 4 during appraisal. The state has proposed three new Model Degree Colleges at Chamba, Sirmour & Shimla districts with total fund claim of Rs. 36 crores during 12th Plan and Rs. 12 crore for the current financial year 2014-15. TSG recommends funding per proposal @ Rs. 6 crores. The observations during the appraisal can be outlined as follows:
Proposal A: Chatrari, Chamba & Proposal B: Sarahan, Sirmour Both the districts are EBD under existing 374 MDC scheme & have not been supported so far. The proposals adhere to RUSA norms and the districts have low CPI, high population of SC/ ST and low female GER and are characterized by difficult terrains with poor road connectivity. But state data shows that both the districts have already 6 Government colleges functioning with very low student strength. Hence, the state needs to justify its rationale for proposing a new Model Degree College in the same.
31 | P a g e
Proposal C: Ghanahatti, Shimla: The district is non-EBD and the proposal doesn’t adhere to any of the norms. Hence, doesn’t qualify for funding under this component.
In light of above observations, if states are able to justify their proposals for Chamba & Sirmour Districts, they can be considered for funding & the final decision is left at PAB's discretion.
5) Component 5: Upgradation of existing degree colleges to model degree colleges
This component is allocated Priority 5 during appraisal. The state has proposed upgradation of three degree colleges at Chamba, Sirmour & Kinnaur districts with total fund claim of Rs. 12 crores during 12th Plan and Rs. 4 crore for the current financial year 2014-15. TSG recommends funding @ Rs. 2 crores per proposal. The observations during the appraisal can be outlined as follows:
Proposal A: GC Recong Peo, Kinnaur: The proposal adheres to RUSA norms. The district is EBD, has 100% rural and tribal population with low CPI and female GER. The district has only one college which needs upgradation to MDC to enrich its infrastructure and increase access to quality education in such a far flung and difficult area. Hence, this proposal can be considered, if norm of non-EBD is relaxed. Proposal B: GC Tissa, Chamba & Proposal C: GC Sangraha, Sirmour: Both the proposals adhere to RUSA norms. The districts are EBD, have high concentration of SC/STs, low CPI and low female GER. But both the districts have already proposed for new Model Degree College in component 4. Hence, funds can be sanctioned either for a new MDC or an upgradation to MDC.
Out of the three proposals, one college in Kinnaur District is considered for upgradation to MDC. But the remaining two proposals may only be considered if they are not approved for creation of New Model Degree College under Component 4. The final decision is left at PAB's discretion.
6) Component 6: New Colleges (Professional)
This component is allocated Priority 2 during appraisal. The state has proposed one Engineering College at Kangra district & claimed a sum of Rs. 26 crores during 12th Plan and Rs. 9 crore for the year 2014-15. The proposal adheres to the RUSA guidelines as the district falls in category A with no professional college. Kangra District has highest 18-23 year population (20.7%) & also has a high concentration of SC/ST/OBCs. Other 2 Engineering colleges in state located in Shimla and Mandi, which are educationally strong districts. The new college will cater to large fraction of rural population The Financial Plan is also as per RUSA norms. Hence, the proposal is considered. TSG recommends funding @ Rs. 13 crores per proposal.

7) Component 7: Infrastructure Grants to Colleges
The component is allocated priority 6 during appraisal. The state has submitted proposal for 84 Colleges for consideration with total fund claim of Rs. 189.8 crores during 12th Plan and Rs. 74.5 crore for the current financial year 2014-15. Out of the 85 colleges, 30 Non 12B Colleges were shortlisted and 25 Colleges were further prioritized on the basis of year of establishment, No. of students enrolled and High percentage of SC/ST/Women students. Since none of the 25 shortlisted colleges are accredited, the proposal can be considered with funding @ Rs. 1 crores per colleges, only if state applies for accreditation for these 25 colleges before 1st June, 2014 (as per UGC norms). The list of 25 shortlisted colleges is given in Table I.
8) Component 8: Research, innovation and Quality Improvement
During appraisal, the state was asked to resubmit the plan for this component as the financial amount claimed was exceeding the RUSA norm/ limits. Since the revised detailed plan was received by RUSA Technical Support Group late, it could not be appraised. Hence, the component would not be considered in this PAB.
9) Component 9: Equity Initiatives
The component is allocated priority 7 during appraisal. The state has submitted proposal for Himachal Pradesh University and 79 Colleges for consideration with total fund claim of Rs. 5 crores during 12th Plan and Rs. 2 crore for the current financial year 2014-15. Out of the 79 colleges, 30 colleges in weaker (EBD) districts have been shortlisted in consultation with the state to ensure better participation of rural, SC/ST popuation as mentioned in the RUSA guidelines. The The proposal adheres to RUSA norms and Department wise detailed financial breakup is given for HPU to carry out different initiatives. Hence, the proposal is considered with funding @ Rs. 2.34 crores. The list of 30 shortlisted colleges is given in Table II.
10) Component 10: Faculty Recruitment Support:
The state has given this component the highest priority. But RUSA norms require the state to hire teachers and fill vacant positions to achieve the Student-Teacher ratio of 1:20. Only then it would be eligible to get funding under this component. Hence, the component is not considered.
33 | P a g e
11) Component 11: Faculty Improvement
The proposal submitted by the state looks sketchy. The state is required to resubmit the detailed plan of this component. Hence, the component would not be considered in this PAB.
12) Component 12: Vocationalisation of Higher Education
The state has notifies that school enrolment under NVEQF has started this year with 100 student enrolment. Hence, the graduate degree course on the same will commence only in the next session and the component will not be considered in this PAB.
13) Component 13: Leadership Development of Educational Administrators
This is a Centrally Administered Scheme and hence, the component would not be considered for funding under RUSA.
14) Component 14: Institutional restructuring & reforms
The component comes partially under the ambit of preparatory grants which have already been sanctioned to the state @ Rs. 3,60,00,000 on 24th February, 2014. Hence, the component won’t receive any additional funding for this year.
15) Component 15: Capacity building & preparation, Data collection & planning
The component comes partially under the ambit of preparatory grants which have already been sanctioned to the state @ Rs. 3,60,00,000 on 24th February, 2014. Hence, the component won’t receive any additional funding for this year.

Comments on State Higher Education Plan
B. The State has prioritized these Components in terms of its higher education needs and goals. The State of J & K wants to create new cluster Universities to reduce the burden of excessive number of colleges affiliated with the University of Kashmir and the University of Jammu (Affiliation Reforms). Similarly, since the GER of technical education is low, it wants to set up New Professional Colleges. Infrastructure grant to Colleges and Infrastructure grant to Universities have been proposed in order to cater to needs of many of the colleges which are quite new and also to the needs to its two heritage-type of Universities at Jammu and at Kashmir. The State has also asked for grants under Vocationalization of Higher Education by proposing a number of Vocational Specialisations identified under National Vocational Education Qualification Framework [NVEQF]. It is felt that the State has come up with adequate justification for getting support under the afore-mentioned components. Further, the State has also proposed Up-gradation of Government colleges to Model Degree Colleges to improve the class/quality of these institutions. It has further asked funds for Faculty Recruitment, Faculty Improvement, Equity Initiatives and also for Research, Innovation & Quality Improvement. However, in these areas, currently the State does not fulfill norms under RUSA Guidelines and hence they cannot be supported in the present form as they need to revise their State Higher Education Plan.
C. Gaps, deficiencies in SHEP – The major gaps in the SHEP of J & K has been its inability to complete their DCF on “State Plan at a Glance.” Discrepancies were noticed in the population data and GER data. Broad-basing of data across different socio-economic categories is required. Perspective plan is missing in certain key areas, namely, Accreditation Status, CPE status, Faculty Status etc.
D. Although the State has done a detailed work on the DCF on Component-wise Details, the State needs to address the critical gaps (in respect of Access, Equity & Excellence and their correlation with each of the components under RUSA) for which filling up of the DCF on “State Plan at a Glance” is a must as it would help identify those critical gaps.

E. General comments on components proposed/not proposed, prioritization: The State has not given any proposal under Component No. 1(Creation of Universities by way of Upgradation of existing Autonomous Colleges) The State needs to address this Component as it does have an Autonomous (GDC, Parade). This will also address Academic & Governance Reforms as setting up of new Universities will not only reduce the burden of existing universities but also induce a performance-based work-culture in all the Universities of the State since adherence to RUSA Guidelines are targeted towards achieving that. The State does not have any University in Laddakh region, it can address this issue in its next round of revision of the SHEP. As regards prioritization, the general scheme of prioritization submitted by the State has been based on good rationale in terms of currently available data with them. However, with respect to the Component on Vocationalization of Higher Education, it is felt that the State should accord greater priority to this component as this component has the potential to link the students to the needs of the industry. Although, the State has submitted a very detailed and thought-out proposal on Vocationalization of HE, but it has been accorded lower priority in asking for funds. It has been felt that this Component should figure higher in the list of Priority for funding;

6. Approval sought from PAB:
In view of the appraisal of the State Higher Education Plan of the State of Jammu & Kashmir, and face-to-face discussions with the representatives of the State Government, it is felt that the State of Jammu & Kashmir may be funded under five components of RUSA (enumerated below) and for which kind approval of the PAB is sought hereby:
(i) Creation of Universities by conversion of colleges in a cluster (02 Universities, one each at Kashmir and Jammu) with a funding of 18.30 crores each and amounting to a total of 36.60 crores. The State may be advised to take active steps to improve its STR and also improve quality of institutions in terms of CPE or Centre for Excellence Status, which are important aspects of RUSA Guidelines under this Component;
(ii) Creation of New Professional Colleges (02 Colleges, - College of Engg. & Technology (CET), University of Jammu at Kathua and College of Engg. & Technology (CET), University of Srinagar at Kupwara) with a funding of 13.00 crores each and amounting to a total of 26.00 crores. The State may be advised to establish these New Colleges where the STR benchmark is pegged to a level which does not go below STR= 20:1;
(iii) Infrastructure Grants to Colleges (22 colleges, listed in order of priority by the State Government and which includes two colleges in the extremely educationally backward region of Laddakh ). An amount of 98.95 lakhs to each of these colleges (total = 21.77 crores) is proposed to improve the infrastructure of all these colleges, which have all been newly constituted (after 2010/2011) with the purpose of improving higher education scenario in the State;
(iv) Infrastructure Grants to Universities (02 Universities, namely, University of Jammu and University of Kashmir) which are also satisfying accreditation norms as per RUSA Guidelines. An amount of 10.00 crores to each of these Universities (total = 20.00 crores) is proposed to improve the infrastructure of these Universities. The State has been able to submit a detailed physical and financial plan in respect of these Universities;
(v) Vocationalisation of Higher Education (20 Colleges spread over the entire State) in which State’s need-specific disciplines like to Food Processing, Hospitality & Protocol, Green House Technology etc. are proposed to be taken up. Out of these two colleges, namely, GDC, Leh and GDC, Kargil are in the most backward Laddakh region of the State. It is felt that this region should be specifically promoted by the State. Hence, it is proposed before the PAB that the Capital component proposed for these two colleges may also be allowed which are in the nature of building classrooms and workshops / laboratories, apart from the revenue component which consists of honorarium, procurement of equipments etc. The total outlay proposed for these colleges is 207 lakhs (2 x 103.50 lakhs each) in the XIIth Plan period. The other 18 colleges have been selected, 09 colleges from Kashmir division and 09 colleges from Jammu Division by selecting the first 09 colleges from each division in the list submitted by the State. The total outlay proposed for these 18 colleges is 540 lakhs
48 | P a g e
(18 x 30 lakhs each) in the XIIth Plan period. This makes to a total amount of 747 lakhs, 50% of which is 373.50 lakhs or 3.735 crores. Thus, a total amount of 3.735 crores is proposed to improve the employment opportunities of the passing-out students from these colleges, by providing them specific skills as per local requirements;
(vi) Hence, a total amount of Rs. 108.11 crores (Central Share = 97.30 crores and State Share = 10.81 crores) is recommended for approval before the PAB.
The PAB is further requested that the State of Jammu & Kashmir may be advised to give greater focus to Laddakh region in its next revision of the State Higher Education Plan as this region is the most backward region of the State, in terms of both enrolments and facilities for higher education.

Annexure - VI
Item 3 - Additional Model Degree Colleges for consideration
3.1 The Mission Director stated that four new proposals had been received for establishment of Model Degree Colleges in the educationally backward districts of North Tripura, South Tripura and Dhalai and South Andaman and sought the approval of the PAB for them.
3.2 The JS&FA pointed out that in the Cabinet had given approval to set up 60 Model Degree Colleges of which 56 have already been approved during the last PAB. He informed that with the approval of these 4 Model Degree Colleges there would not be any scope to support additional request for the establishment for any new Model Degree College without Cabinet approval to increase the number under this component.
3.3 The Mission Director was of the view that a greater number of model degree college proposals (beyond 60) can be considered, since some of the approved proposals may not finally materialize given a number of challenges that they may encounter during the implementation of this project. The JS&FA disagreed by stating that there is a need to stick to the number of colleges approved by Cabinet, and any increase to this number will require further approval from the Cabinet.
3.4 The Advisor, Planning Commission concurred with the views of JS & FA on the need for Cabinet approval for additional Model Degree Colleges beyond the stipulated number under the 12th plan. The Advisor Planning Commission re-emphasized the support of the Planning Commission in the implementation of RUSA. He was of the opinion that there still seems to be a lack of clarity on role of UGC vis a vis RUSA (under the various schemes and components respectively) and the support that they will provide to State institutions. He emphasized the need to have more comprehensive SHEPs and mainstreaming different sectors of education including agriculture and health under a single umbrella. He clarified that funding for agricultural and medical education would be separately sought and not from the resources allocated under RUSA. He also raised the issue of getting competent professional institutions to undertake support activities under RUSA mainly under the nature of capacity building, training and felt that wide range of institutions needed to be involved in this exercise. He also cautioned against giving projects to some institutions on nomination basis and advised competitive mode for selecting institutions. Prof. Shailendra Raj Mehta, member PAB

emphasized that institutions like TISS need to be fully supported by MHRD for RUSA implementation.
3.5 Responding to the observations made by the Advisor Planning Commission, the Chair emphasized the need for a more holistic approach in dealing with State institutions by creating a synergetic approach between UGC and RUSA. He asked the Mission Director to undertake an exercise to clearly define their respective roles. The Mission Director gave a recent example of synergetic arrangement between UGC and RUSA in better and effective targeting of resources for need based institutions in the North Eastern Region.
Decision of the PAB
PAB approved setting up of 4 Model Degree College and approved the release of first installment of central share to these colleges.
