The policy for the development of higher education has been mainly governed by the “National policy on Education” of 1986 (as modified in 1992) and its Program of Action 1992. The 1986 policy and Action Plan of 1992 were based on the two land mark reports namely, the “University Education Commission Report” of 1948-49 (popularly known as Radhakrishnan Commission), and the “Education Commission Report” of 1964-66, (popularly known as Kothari Commission ).

  • Reactions of Emperor Bahādur Shāh Zafar and Laureate Mirzā Ghālib to the Celestial Events During 1857-1858
    Indian Journal of History of Science, 53.3 (2018) 325-340 DOI: 10.16943/ijhs/2018/v53i3/49464 Historical Note Reactions of Emperor Bahādur Shāh Zafar and Laureate Mirzā Ghālib to the Celestial Events during 1857-1858 R C Kapoor* (Received 13 December 2017; revised 05 June 2018) Abstract The revolt against the British broke out at Meerut on 10th May 1857 that soon turned into a Great Uprising and shook the foundations of the colonial power in India. A conjunction of Mars and Saturn took place in July 1857. A solar eclipse occurred on 18th September 1857, two days before the capture of Delhi by the British. There followed a lunar eclipse, on 28th February 1858. Then a comet brightened up in the evening skies only days before the British Crown was about to take India in its fold on 1st November 1858. How Mughal Emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar (1775-1862), central to the upheaval, and the laureate Mirzā Ghālib (1797-1859), a remote observer, reacted in such a scenario is central to our theme. Z. afar was a superstitious man and had a spiritual incline. What is unique is that he had never mixed up the outcome of the war with the celestial events and left it to Almighty. That he was unaware of these events is difficult to believe. Ghālib was a skeptic and came to believe the celestial events as signals of divine wrath. In the process we discover an unexplored side of Mirzā Ghālib and his grasp of astronomy. Key words: Annular solar eclipse of 1857, Bahadur Shah Zafar, Donati’s Comet, India’s Great Uprising of 1857, Mirzā Ghālib, Mughal India.

  • RTI Handbook
    PREFACE The Right to Information Act 2005 is a historic legislation in the annals of democracy in India. One of the major objective of this Act is to promote transparency and accountability in the working of every public authority by enabling citizens to access information held by or under the control of public authorities. In pursuance of this Act, the RTI Cell of National Archives of India had brought out the first version of the Handbook in 2006 with a view to provide information about the National Archives of India on the basis of the guidelines issued by DOPT. The revised version of the handbook comprehensively explains the legal provisions and functioning of National Archives of India. I feel happy to present before you the revised and updated version of the handbook as done very meticulously by the RTI Cell. I am thankful to Dr.Meena Gautam, Deputy Director of Archives & Central Public Information Officer and S/Shri Ashok Kaushik, Archivist and Shri Uday Shankar, Assistant Archivist of RTI Cell for assisting in updating the present edition. I trust this updated publication will familiarize the public with the mandate, structure and functioning of the NAI.
