AICTE ALL INDIA COUNCIL FOR TECHNICAL EDUcatiON ANNUAL REPORT & AUDITED ACCOUNTS 2015-16 Annual Report 2015-16 PREFACE The aim of any country’s higher education system is higher growth rate with sustainable economic development. It is achieved through creation, transmission and dissemination of knowledge. The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) has been in existence since November 1945 as a national level Apex Advisory Body with its mission of developing and promoting quality technical education in the country in a coordinated and integrated manner. The Council’s constant endeavor is to encourage a meaningful association between the technical education system and research and development activities in a concerted effort aimed at nation building. Technical education at all levels in the country is witnessing a consistent growth pattern marked by the setting up of new Institutions and the improvement of the existing ones in tune with the quality assurance norms set by the regulating and accreditation agencies. The Council believes in providing a proper impetus for the Institutions to generate competent Engineers, Pharmacists, Managers, Architects and Scientists and encourages them to think beyond the curriculum while imparting training for the advancement of knowledge. The Council has put in place several initiatives to bring about changes by introducing greater transparency and accountability through the e-governance. The emphasis this year is to put in place simplified procedures and greater ease in the approval process. “Access to Quality Technical Education for All” will be the motto for the year 2017-18 creating an academic ambience in the Technical Institutions for nurturing and supporting quality so that technical education in India will be one of the best in the world. Supporting Institutions for accreditation of Programmes, ranking of Institutions, schemes such as Margdarshan, Adjunct Faculty, Trainee Teacher and Unnat Bharat Abhiyan are a few of the important initiatives embarked upon by AICTE during the last year. In addition to these few important initiatives for improving the quality of technical education, employability and empowerment of students are in the pipeline. These include Smart India Hackathon-2017, Student Startup Policy and Swayam, MOOCS etc. This annual report provides comprehensive information on activities of various schemes during the year 2015- 16. The emphasis on e-governance to ensure transparency, accountability, implementing a tech-savvy approach to enable faster processing and clearly defining the infrastructural norms in Institutions are just a few pointers towards AICTE’s efforts at fostering a technical education system which is at par with the best Institutions in the world. Swami Vivekananda said "Education is the manifestation of the perfection already in man”. in keeping with this objective, apart from regulatory role, AICTE would strive to be a true mentor, facilitator and enabler in bringing out the best in each Institution. We hope this attempt of ours will prove endearing enough to all the stake holders. Vidya Dhanam Sarva Dhanam Pradanam- Ancient Saying Prof. Anil D.
