In September, 1967, the National Ccuncil for Science Education forwarded to the University Grants Commission, a scheme of Research participation for students and teachers f^r implementation and desired that a small Committee of N,S,3 ,E, members may be constituted to con­ sider the proposals received under the abDve programme, Tho JCSIfi also felt that the financial celling under the scheme may be kept somewhat flexible ^o as to suit the requirements of individual pro­ posals. Two booklets giving the guidelines of tho above programme are attached (Appendix I II).

Accordingly a Gommittee of experts vas appointed to scrutinize the applications under the research participation programme. The first meeting of the committee was held on 15,2.1968, The recommendations of the committee subject-wise and level-wiso are given in the attached note (Appendix III), It was further decided by the Biology and Physics CkJTMwittee that a few departments may be approached to run the scheme during 1968-69, Tho names are also given therein. The financial implications of the scheme confined to 140 participants as recommended by the Committee comas to Rs, 2 lacs. The financial estimate of each proposal is being examined and the concerted universities informed accordingly ,

(6 ) Streamlining the procedure for release of foreign exchange to thq universities for import of scientific iequipmehts.

An inter“departmental mooting for streamlining the procedure for release of foreign exchange to universities and educational insti­ tutions for the import of scientific equipnent was held in the Ministry of Education on 7th (k:tobor, 1967, It wfis indicated by the represen­ tative of the Ministry of Finance that the foreign exchange proposals received from Universities/Colleges would be considered only for items of maint enance and replacement and that tho re was little likelihood of proposals relating to additions or expansion being accepted unless they were justified to be extremely urgent,

It was agreed that the possibility o! reducing the time taken in the office of Directorate General of Technical bevelopment may be explored by the Ministry of Education, It may be mentioned in this connection that the Study Team headed by 3hri H.C, Mathur to report on the structural organisation of the IJirectorate General of Technical Development, Ministry of Commerce has made the following recommendations regarding the indigenous clearance of items required by university institutions.

p * t ,o , Operational & Malntenanc.Q Spares: .

"The rGquirements of tiisse .orgaiilsations for operational and maintenance spares are hot"likely to be large, 'We, therefore, recomiTiGnd that there should be;dhly tw3 lists (i), list of open iteans without any restriction; (ii) list of banned items, so that references from these organieatlone t',i the Directorate - General of Todinlcal DevGlopmGnt in rcr;ard to stores which otherwise might have been included in the restricted list would be avoided

Scientific lilquipnient Other Capital Goods:

"As regards the imt'iort of scientific equipment and apparatus &- other capital goods, we feel’ that these organisations should continue to obtain indigenous clearance from the Directorate Goneml of Techiiical Development in tespept of'isUcri stores as at present. Also, no change in the existing procsdure for handling such applications is called for except that it should be madG the responsibility of the Co-ordination Directorate to keep a watch and to ensure that these applications are disposed' of expeditiously» We' suggest that time limit;, of 15 days should be prescribed for the disposal of these appli­ cations*"

^ ' The attention of the IVlinistry of Education hajs ^.Iready been drawn in implementing the recotrainendations, <

OUTLINE OF THE VISIT

After arrival in Bonbay on Tuesda;}' 5th September 1967 I contacted the British Council's Bombay office. The British Council representative 1^. Nissen phoned Rrofessor Narlikar at the University of Poona, arranging that I should travel on to Poona by trair. the follovdng evening and assuring himself that I was expected in Poona, had accommodation waiting for me and that I would be met at the stEtion. M r N is s e n also arranged for -me to visit tho^tT^ta Institute for Fmdamental Research (TIFR) on the afternoon of 6th September to tal.k to Dr. Narasimhan about ny possible visits there , 'fhough no arrarigements for visits were finalised, .1 had an interesting talk with Dr, Varcye and Di*. Chitre of the TIFR on subjects of mutual interest, and was given the freedom of the library. Transport laid on 'by the British Council took me to the TIFR and from there to the Poona train.

At the University of Poona at Geneahkhind, where I had a seven week stay, J was attached to the DepaJ'tment of Mathf^matics and Sttistics, in which I was provided idth own worldng rooms. On this campus of 500 acres are only graduate studentsj the undergraduate section of the University is settled in the town of Poona, and therefore rather cut off from tJie intspests and excitement of r® ear ch. At Poona, Mr. Dattapra- bhaka GPkhale of the Unltersit^' Mathematics and Statistics Association invited me to give a genera^ talk on ccem.ilogical theories to the association, Where m(y more regular work vas concerned, it was decided at discussions involving the Head of the Department, Dr, V ,S , HuzurbaJsar (who was reanonslble, I I earned, for bui.ldlnc^ up the department to its present exoei-LuUb eiaue;. Professor the specialist in relativity, and two of the three researjh students in relativity, H?. Dadhich and Mr. Praspvma, that I sh-^v \ f (a) give soine lectures in each of two courses, special relativity and eleciroiTiagnt.tlc theory, pursued by second year M.Sc, students; in these I covered relatlvisitc machanirs rmd thp development of electro­ statics, Thiis contribution was valuable in that it reduced the heavy presure of work on the regular lecturers.

(b) give the M.Sc. students a few tutorials or eKamples classes as required in these subjects, before their examinations in the second week of October,

(c) participate in the regular, once pr twice weekly, seini.nars at which one of the students, expounds a chosen topic and throws it open to discussion. In this series I contributed a seminar, ’ The nature of the singularity in the Schwar zschild space-tiir.e *, -t^ich led to a general discussion of the nature of singularities in cosmological models.

(d) give talks of a fairly general nature on toplas within my own speciality, cosmology, I delivered four talks, widely attended by studepts and lecturers from the Univfrslty of Poona and other nearby institutions, entitled ’ Quasi-stellar otjects and theirsignif icance in cosmology’ , ^ The mi crowa,ve background radiation in the Universe*, ^High energy astrophysics * and Uncert,ai,rty and indeterminacy in cosmology*. Following a suggestion made by Professor Narlikar, these talks are being cyclestyled and bound into book form, to provide a record of my visit to the Department of Mathematics and Statistics in Poona,

■ • P.T.O In addition io this formal prof:ramine the PhiD* research gtudcenits were encoijraged to discuss v.dth me their regearch projer’^-^ and problemis'. in the field of relati?d.ij, anti we had many informal discussions also (on matters arising out of m;>" lectures ,

While in Poona t,he oub‘3ine of the rest of iiy programme in Indllai was arranged in correspondence with. Dr. Chanlar Narayan of the Univer*sjity Grants GoijULa. ..■a, the Education Officer of the UGC, Accordingly, I cijrrived in Delhi on 1st November ffor a fortnight's attachment to the Departmt;nt f Physics of the Universi.tjy of Delhi. Nearly a weak past)aa i-n meetingo with Dr, Mehta of the ITGC and preliminary meetings with Professor Hajiimdar of the Physics Depar’tnment. Despite boav/loc,d'boriio by st'^dcrits fUid lecLu^-=c^‘a at that fcinme, I was encouraged by Profess.or I-fe.j'umd&r in corsultation wi.th his s t a ff, to give two lectures in'the Department, on quasi-stellar objects in the universe, and on the microwave, background radiation. A more informal reiatj onship“ with-^bme of the students of ,th6 Physics Department, ari.sJing out of their typically kind offer of help and hospitality, gave me th.e opportunity for sorre general discussions on scientific topics> though these would have been nore fruitful.,if I had had more of the training cof a physicist. I was in fact attachod to the Physics Department, in Delhii^ because the Mathematics Department found itself unable to accominodate mne on account, I believe, of an emphasis on ^ r e Mathematics*

My projected one week's visit to Calcutta had originally been planned to begin on 29th November and continue until 6th December, but becuas^'of‘the riots and general political unrest in Calcutta at that time, I delayed my arrival by five days. It was decided, in view of thie uncertain situation, esprcially among the student population, that my proposed contact with Jadavpur University be abandoned. However, Pro­ fessor Chafet:'abarti of the Depai‘t.m,ent of Vatbematics at the Science Colltege arranged that I should gi.v. a. lecture’ on* btn December on the subject of’ quasi-stellar objects in the u'aiver.\e. Despite the fact that the students later cpJ'lod a stril© f'-'r that very day and that only those students assigned specifically to help me in Calcutta turned up, I was encouraged to continue with tha IcctiirG to the audience of research students lo^ ' 1:., - -± W Professor Chalffabarti that the following day I might, taik to the students quite generally and answer their question's on wa-^hematics, education and life' in Britain,* the studeiuj Lc..; c.i studies by then and we had a stimulating, thought- provoldng and I believe useful discussion on variou"^ asp?'^'"s i^f the .sjrl l-'’,bii£ f or n ■^lathri':'^ tics c^’^d the oppor>- tunities and facilities available to students.

CCHANTS ON ACADEMIC ASPECTS OF VISIT

In a subject as abstract as theoretical cosmology, regarded as a branch of relativity, a programme cf research is not limited by, or detfer- mined by,'a'ly conditior.s of a practical nature, such as the availabilit3y of equipment or the practicality of fieldwork. The problem inposed by specialisation in cosmtlogy in rath9r cntj of communication s even if there exists a school cf relativity, thero aro at most universities few., if any, people who have studied coamclogy in enough depth to make a profgre- ssive interchange of ccsmclogj cal idea poqsible. On the other hand theire seems to be, in the va^-t majority cf people, a latent interest in the general structure and evolution of the universe ; this proved to be as true in India as in the rect of the world. Thus I f"'el that iry tour proved valuable, both to myself and I hope to my colleagues in India, tco the extent that it widened thb horizons of some specialist knowledge and satisfied the aatxjral interest in the latest cosmolOgical developments.. For iryself I benofitted greatly from seeing, my siabject through the eyes of scholars whose work is ba.s'jd mainly either in relativity itself or im the physical sciences or in mathemat:'?s as such, their viewpoints being revealed by the questions and '*'’5 s cuss ions which followed iny talks; also from'learning relevant detail'5 cf their cu.bjects from informal discussions with students of the •'7‘arious disciplinbo, i •'■»ould venture to suggest that for t.xyxr ^ i.uaibaue ^ vilue in either of two circumstances, which I tried to ensure obtained - firstly , when their own specialist knowledge was iimnediatel^ relevant to the subject matter, and secondly, when the subject matter was not unduly technical. To this end I , and my colleagues, tried to selec" subjects which could be expounded simply and in a manner (either popular or technical) suited to the interests of the audience. Certainly the most Lively discussions ensued on those occasions when either the academic interests of the audience were evidently closely involved in the subject matter, or the talk was simple enough to be understood regi'ardless of bacltground training.

Informal' discussions, by their very nature, proved valuable too, in that new lines of investigation were suggested and new ideas and interests stimulated.

GOMMSKITS ON NON-ACADEMIC ASPECTS OF THE YISIT

I could not submit this report vithout including mention of the extreme kindness, the thouglriful help and the hospitality which I met at every stage of ny tour around India, I vtnt to express my gratitude for this and for the preliminary work in the United Kingdom by tl:ie British Council, which afforded me the opportunity and organised my travel to India,

Without exception, the British Goiincil officers that I met in the course of my work in India ( I must mention Mr, Nissen and Mr, Ramakri- shnan in Bombay, Miss Lambert in Delhi and Dr, Taylor in Calcutta ) gave me help far beyond tl^ie call of dutyj not only were they invaluable in smoothing out any difficulties which a’ose and in helping mate suitable travel ar’rangemnnts, but they m£de me feel at home in each of those cities. In Kathmandu I was stranded for eight days, becuse of the riots in Calcutta and the consequent difficulties of private commu­ nication, on what was to been a abort private visit on the way from Banaras to Calcutta, Vftien called or. for help Mr, Arbuthnot, of the British Council, generously helped me by oommunicatir^ with Calcutta through, I believe, some o^^fioial. channels. Similarly, on n\v private visit to Madras the British Council representative ^fr’, Smith rallied rouni witli practical help regarding my return to Bombay,

It is only natural that a visitor to India desires to learn some­ thing of the social, cultural., economic ar political background of the country, to see as much as possible of tha land of India and its magnifleant heritage of ancient temples, historic monuments and art treasui'es, and to meet the Indian people and conK to an understanding of their way of life. One of the factors which contributed greatly to what turned out to be the Iminense personal value of my visit was the full and sympathetic understanding of these intermits by my academic colleagues in India» The practical help and encouragement to which this gave rise enabled me to satisfy these interests to a large extent, From Poona, ft*ofessor Narlikar, ttirough correspondence with his collea^es in the Mathematics Department at the Banaras mniu University, kindly arranged that I should be given hospitality at the University guest house in Banaras and be shown round the city In return for gome lectures on cosBiology, Mr« Prasana, a research student at Poona, arranged a trip to % s o r e for me, where his relatives generously offered me their time and friendship. Professor Majumdar in IteLhi and Professor Chakrabarti in Calcutta ensured that I saw their cities and surrounding country by iJiTovlding me with university transport and friendly sets of students as guides.

The opportunities I was thus afforded to see India and meet some of her people have certainly led me to a somewhat greater insight into th© vast problems undeniably betjdtting that nation socially, economi­ cally and politically, and to a concomitant understanding of and sympathy for her people. To express a deeply felt personal opinion : this aspect of my visit has been an experience meaningful and valuable beyond all assessment.

Report made by i.rof. I.M , Khalatinikov, Unesco Consultant to the Centre of Advanced Study In i'hysics, Delhi University.

1 . PROGRAMMS

Pi^ofessor I.M, Khalatnikpv, Director of the Institute of Theore­ tical Physics, ikiademy of Sciences US3R(M:scow), stayed in India from December 1967 to 21 January 1968 as a visiting professor of Theoretical ihysics at the Centre for i-tdvanced Study In Physics and Astrophysics, University of E)eihi, The programme of his visit was worked out by Prof* F*Ci Auluck* Head of the Department of Physics and Astrophysics, jointly with DriShankar Narayan of the University Grants Commissioni

The programme w^s discussed and approved by D r,D *S , Kbtharl, Chairman of the Ifniversity Grants Commisslbn,

Following is the outline of the activities of Prof, I.M* Khalatni- kov as Unesco ’ s consultaht:

(a) Delivery of lectures on the ”Realativlstic Cosmology” at the Department of Physics, University of Delhi,

(b) Visit to University of Rajasthan, Jaipur and delivery of a lecture on "The probelm of Singularities in the General Solution of Einstein's Field-Equations'*,

(c) Visit to "Tata Institute of Fundamental Research", Dbrabay and delivery of a lecture on tht? subject mentioned in (b)*

(d) Visit to "Indian Institute of Fundamental Research", Bombay and delivery of a locture on "The HydrtKiyhamics of the Solutions of Fermi~I3ose Llquide', and v isit to the "Baman Institute",

(«) Visit to Madras University and '‘Institute for Mathematical Sciences", Madras and delivery of a lecture on the subject mentioned in (b),

(f) Attending the 55th session of the Indian Science Congress at Danaras from 2 January 1968 to 5 January 1968, Delivery of a lecture on the subject mentioned in (b) and a brief survey of the work being done at the Institute fcr Theoretical Physics, Moscow, USSIi.

(g) I>elivQry of a course of lecturos on "The Theory of Quantum F lu id s ",

2. Lectures at the Department of Physics and Astrophysics. University of itelhl.

The mod6m physics confsists of three main branches v i z ., "the elementary particle physics", "solid-state physics’* and "astrophyg^ios’*. The. fields of "solid-state physics" and "astrophysics" have become very important in rocent years. The interest in solid- state physics stems from the fact that it helps us din understanding the fundamental laws of nature and has m£).ny technical applications. In the field of theoretical astrophysics and mainly cosmology many theories which were considered to be mere speculations over a period of many years, rest on more solid experimental basis now with the coming to light of various very important discoveries e ,g , the ’’background radiation at 33° K” , Therefore the great surge of axjtivity and interest in these flellds is natural. It was suggested to me by Prof, 0,S. Kothari to deliLver a series of lectures on ’’Cosmology” since this field is quite new for Delhi Universityand such a course of lectures would, therefojre, stimulate interest among research workers. During the five lectures a>n tho above subjcct, a short introduction to the ’^General Theory of Relativity” waf? given and some cosmological models of the universe werre discussoG, aaaic-ion xo this a more detailed description of tlhe existence of. time-type singularities in the solution of the Einstein ifield«eqnations v given and the current work being done on the sulbject was briefly reviewed. The solution of the above-mentioned problem its very Important for our understanding of the evolution of the universe • • ' ; 4- . . The sGCond series o-f lectures delivered .at the Department of Physic^i Iftiiversity of Dedhi was devoted to the .‘’Fuhdaip^ntal ^problem in solid-state Physics - Theory of Quantum Pluidisi’S It-was leather impossible to cover such a vast field in a short course of lectures. So some main problems iier'e discussed viz* hydrodynamics of super- fluids^ the tJiQory of the> Permi liquid, and the hydrodynamics of Fermi- Dose liquid mixtures. Some of the problems discussed above are also being investigated by soime theoretical research workers at the University of Delhi,-and therefore, I feel that this course of lectures will prove more useful after the liq^uId-helium plant has been installed and the experimental work in thiffi field is started.,

3, General impression of the various centres of research

' During my stay I wias convincod that there is abundance of Intellectual and well-ed\ucated people in India but most of this talent is engaged in theoretical research and only a small fraction la etigaged in experimental research,, v4iich is due to lack of availability of modern dhstruments# . The main field of research in theoretical physics which is well»-d©veloped is that of ’'Slementary Particle physics” . There are strong groups

Professor S,N. Hsswas, Prof, A.N, Mitra (Centre of -Advanced Study 3?n i^ysics, Unl'J'orsity‘of Delhi); Prof, D.M, Udgaonkf Fundamental Research, Bombay); Prof. P.M, Mathews (Madras University); Prof, Ramakrlshnain (iVfeitscience, Madras),

There are some prominenit Indian experts in this branch of physics vorkii^ in various forerign countries, notably Prof, E,C*G, Sudershan (U,3»A,) and others, Tlhe level of research in this field being carried out in India coimpares favourably v/ith that of other countries. However, there are very few people working in theoretical ’’Solid- state Physics” , (This fact was also mentioned in previous reportB,) This can fco eaually trac«ed to the fact that it Is necessary to have some contact with the e^xperimentalists to be able to work in this fie ld . In spite of theise unfavourable conditions there are some groups working in this field with success. In this connexion I might mention the names of Pr*of, D ,3 , Kothari and Prof, F,C * Auluck (Delhi University),

In Delhi Universlity, a centre for advanced study in physics and astrophysics was estabUished a few years aj^o to improve the general level of research. It seems to me that this idea has now given concrete results. The help of Unesco and the University Grants Commission have been imstrumental in this. I was greatly impressed by the Tata Institute of Funddmental Research, Bombay where the conditions for :pesearclh are excellent, There is an enthusiastic group working at the Indian Institute of Sciencce, Bangalore, in experimental solid-state physics, but they are handiocapped by lack of availability of modern equipment. They are now tryingg to set up an old helium liquefier presented to them by Prof, Mencdelssohn from Oxford. I feel that this group is in need of more attenltion. V/hile at Bangalore I also paid a v isit to the ’’Raman Institutte” and had the privilege of meeting Prof. C,V Ra-.an and dlocussin ; ' ’i-’i. some physical ideas in meteorology which wore given by him reecently. In Madras I visited the ’’Matscience Institute". I was glad Ito note that this new Institute has many contacts with other r. .;oar^h ceuiti^s in various foreign coun­ tries. This is mainly d le to the personml efforts of Prof .Ramakrishnan, the Director of the Institute,

At all the centres which I visited,, I had many useful discussions with various people about some problems iln the many body problem, the theory of superfluidity, super conductIvjlty and relativistic cosmology. The Government of India and the Universitly Grants Commission are doing everything in their power to raise the gesneral level of scientific research in this country. But they canno:>t supply the necessary scientific equipment unless Unesco or some other intternational organization assist them,

4, Participation in the 55th session 0)f the Indian Science Congress at Banaraa

Presumably, due to some historical reasons, the contacts between the various research centres in Indici are^ not so frequent. Hence the annual session of tho Indian Science Congjress provides a good oppor­ tunity for research workers from difforen't parts of the country to meet each other and exchange ideas. At the 55ith session held at Banaras from 3 January 1968 to 8 January 1968 the> programme of the "Physics Section** was very interesting. The lectuire given by Dr. A .R , Verma, the president of the "Physics Section" on; "Polytypism in Crystals" was very stimulating. At present, there Is no complete theoretical explanation for this inteiesting phenomenton of long-range correlations with periodicity. Prof. F ,C, Auluck, Heatd of the Physics JJepartment, University of Delhi d. llverod a Icctu. ' ’Th o Properties of Atoms Under Pressure", using the statistical mocdel of the atom, I gave a brief survey of the work being done at ouir institute and Einswered queries in this connexion, I al .o dulivoir a lecture on "Relativlstic Cosmology" which was followc'd by stimulatrlng discussions,

5 . RBCOMIvIENDAi' 10 ^S

(a) I think to improve tho level off research in solid-state physics at the Centre for Advamcud 3tudy, University of Delhi, it Is necessary to have a well-equipped laboratory for "low»-temperature physics". I understand that a liquid helium plant is being installedl shortly but it Is necessary to have equipment for the produiction of ultra low tempera*- tures and high magnetic fields to be at par with the con­ temporary level of research in this field. These develop­ ments should proceed simultaneously and not step after step.

(b) I suggest that there should be regular seminars where the research work dont.- by various workers should be reported and discussed. These seminars will prove useful in giving Information to other people abomt the nature of the work done and help them In their owni research,

(c) It is necessary to improve the contacts between various research centres in India ond mmke them more frequent. The Jniversity Grants Coiranisslom and the National Institute of Sciences must co-ordinate thte organization of various conferences and symposia to enalble people from different parts r L. rmntry to at' . (d) 1 think that the institution of Unesco experts is very useful but make it iTKore useful there should be a per­ manent staff of Unesco e3q3erts visiting periodically the Centre for ^vdvancod Study, at the University of Delhi, In such manner it \viH be possible to have a permanent contact between the Unesco experts and the research vjorkers of the Centro for cd Study,

I am very grateful to x^rof, D, Kot’mri, Chairman, University Grants Comnission for his ho Ip and attenti n during my stay in India. I am thankful to Dr, D.Jhankar Narayan of the University Grants Commission for help in chalking out my programme and to Dr.M^L, Mehta for arranging my visits to various centres and for making my stay comfortable.

My stay in India was made pleasant by the ho*spitality and per” sbnal care of ?rof i F ,C , Au luck, Head 'of t hd ' Department of Phy sics and Astrophysics, University of Delhi, to who^ I want to express my sinderest thanks. I am sure that as the new Head of the Department he will prove very successful in the development of the research work in the Department,

I also want to thank Mr, Satish Kumar for his assistaipe and care during my, stay in Delhi,

Similarly, 18 younger scientists from Ind* i unlversities/Inst itutIons visited U.K, during this period (Annexure Ii), At the conclusion of the v is its , reports were made by the scienntlsts where suggestions were made, both for the promotion of teaching aanJ research In the universi­ ties as also for Improving the exchange prrorrfunme. Suitable action wherever considered ncscessary has been takkai,

4, The exchange programme has been fournd to be of mutual benefit, biith to Indian and the British particlt^antts and the Advisory Committee in Its Last meeting held on 19th January 119^8 considered the possibility of Increasing the number of participants eea»h year from the existing six positions to about ten immediately andd altimately bringing it up to 20 in the course of next two or three yeairs and also to provide few places for social scientists in the progreamne. The i^dvisory Committee also made the following observations!

i) -]uite often, the reports made bj/y the visiting scientists contain suggestions regarding persons who may benefit from participation in the programme. The Selection Commlttece oould consider such suggestion and If possible, those perscjns C;^uld be requested to send applications for consideration by the comnmittee. Suggestions may also be invited from the Indian scientists who have recently participated in this programme,

11) The Council of Scientific and Irndastrlal Research had entered into a separate agreement with thee British Council for exchange of scientists. Accordingly, the committee could refer to the C3IR such of the applications received by and which cannot be accommodated under the scheme for consideration by the CSIR under its own programme,

iii) Participating scientist should plan to spend the major part of his time (at least two third) to work at the single institution and the number of vinl+-s to other Institutions may not exceed 2 or 3, V/hile the v isits could be combined with attendance at some international conferences etc, taking place in the host country, the visit should not be solely for the ijarixise of attending such conferences. Visits for less than 8 weeks duration may not be quite appropriate.

5, Seventy-one nominations were received from universities and other institutions for visit to U.K. during 1968-69. The names were scru­ tinised by experts and on the basis of the recommendations made by the experts, 16 candidates were provisionally selected and placed in two priorities (Annexure III) by the Advisory Committee for participation in the programme for the year 1968-69, The British. Council at New Delhi has been requested to proccss the matter further,

6. Nine names of the British scientists were recommended by the Indian High Commission in U.K. of which visits by six scientists (Annexure IV) have been accepted and the Indiein High Commission in U.K. has been informed of the same. The programmes for these scientists to visit Indian Universities are being finalised.

The matter is placed before the Commission for information.

Item No,7; To consider references fr.-om the Ministry of Education regarding

(a) the Christian ^'fejicail College, Vellore. ) 3 ~

(b) Tilak Maharashtra Viidyap«eth. L M eeting: Dated : 1st P'iay 1968

Item No. 7(a) • consider a reference, the Government of India, Miniatry of Sducation regarding the Christian Medical College Vellore

The Government of India, Ministry of Sducation have asked for the views of the U.G.C. on the proposal of the Christian Medical College, Vellore (Iv&dras State) for declaring it as an Institution deemed to be a University under Section 3 of the U.G,C, Act, The College is at present affiliated to the Madras University ,

Tlie Christian Medical College and Hospital was fotanded by Dr, Ida G, Scudder, the daughter of a medical inisslonary. She started with the work in 1900, In 1902, she built the Ifery Taber Schell Hospital with accommodation fpr 40 patients. In 1906, she instituted the ‘Hoadslde Clinic/, a waekly visit to outlying colleges. In 1924, the present Hospital site was acquired and a 267 bed hospital vjgls b u ilt . Over the years this hospital has grown rapidly. Today it is stated to have 974 bods and treats nearly 1600 out~ patients d a ily . It has a o! 285 doctors* 290 nurses and 170 para-^edical \vorkera who come from nearly every state in India as well as from the U,£J,A,, U K ,, Australia, Canada and Germany. Extensions to tho work of the institution include an eye hospital, mental health centre, rural hospital, rehabilitation centre for leprosy patients and a newly opened rehabilitation Institute for disabled persons who require prolonged treatment and training.

While the college started as a medical school for women students in 1918 and was raised to the status of a university college and students were ailmltted for the ( urse in 1942, from 1947 onwards, man students also were admitted. At present, the intake for the M ,B ,B ,3 , course is 60 - 35 men and 25 women. The college was affiliated to the University of Madras in 1950, .

The institution also servos as a training centre for candidates for postgraduate degree and diplomas in practically all branches of medicine and surgery. It furtht3r provides facilities for an M,£Sc, course in non-clinical subjects such as anatomy, physiology, pharma­ cology, biochemistry and micro-biology. It has also been recommended for purposes of research for the Ph,D, degree in various subjects by many institutions. The college also provides facilities for .para~medical training courses for radiographers, pharmacists, physiotherapists, laboratory technicians and medical record officers. It works in cooperation with the Government of India in a number of programmes.

The institution is run by an Association with the name of ’The Christian Medical Colle^ge Vellore Association' which is registered under the SocietiGs’ Registration Act, 1860, The follov/ing statements with regard to the institution are attached?

1, Staff of the Institution as on 1st July 1967,

2, Candidates admitted to postgraduate degree courses and registered for Ph,I>, degrees/awarded Ph,D , degrees. 3, State-wise distribution of students admitted to the Institution from 1942-67.

4, Ivlajor research projects undertaken during the past five years.

5, Income and expenditure statement for the year ending 3 0 th Ju n e x 9 6 7 .

The CJovernment of India, Ministry C' Sducation had invited the views of the Government of India, Ministry of Health, the University of Madras and the Department of Public Health (Madras S ta te ), The views of the Govt, of India, Ministry of Health ai-e reproduced below:

’’The Christian IVfedical College, Vellore has the character of an All-India Institutions where both tcachers and students come fromi all parts of the country. Most Ctate lAiiversities have some domiciliary restrictions but from the enclosed statements it will be seen that the C.M.C,, Vellore, is in the true sense of the w)rd a National Insti- tutiton.

The academic attainments of this Institution are apparent from the statements relating to research projects being conducted by it and the large list of publications to the credit of its staff.

This Institution has both an Jnder-graduate v/ing, and Post­ graduate Departments are functionin ; in practically all the important areas of medical and allied sciences.

♦not enclosed brief general note on this Institute is also enclosed.* It will be observed therefrom that the C.MjC,, Vellore has support, both financial and academic from a number of foreign countries including the U.S.A., Auatrali.a, Canada and Germany.

This Ministry have been giving this Institution s\jpport in a variety of ways incl ding the establishment of Postgraduate Departments under this Rttnistry’ scheme for the purpose. In addition, the Principal of this Institution is associated with zlm working of our own Post­ graduate Institutes through their Governing Bodies and other Committees. In brief , this Ministry hold this Institi ‘.on in considerable esteem and it is in this background that we recoui.nend that it should be deemeci as a University for the purposes of section 3 of the University Grants Commission Act-, It might incidentally be mentioned that the Christian Medical College, Vellore, is already a very isound Institution financially and is already included in the list of College prepared under section 2(f) of the U.G.C, Act as one of the affiliated colleges of the,Madras University,

In view of the position stated above, it is requested that the Christian ^fedical College, Vellore, may kindly be declared as a University under Sedtion 3 of the ’Jniversity Grants Commission Act, 1956 (itot bb, 3 of 1956) in consultation with the University Grants Commission.”

The vifews of the Vice-Chancellor, University of Madras are as under:

’’The Registrar of the University of Madras has brought to my notice this letter sent by you, as this was a very Important communi­ cation, which requires careful consideration. It was felt that all aspects of the question sho ild be taken into consideration, and I therefore felt it desirable that I should express my opinion in the matter.

P.t.o, I was a member of the University Grants Conunission for seven years, and it was during this period that for the first time the question of what should bo considered a deemed University came up. It was pn the application of the Indian Institute of Gcicnce, Bangalore, that the question first came up. This institution was in existence for over 50 years. The diplomas of the Institute namely memberships and fellowships were considered of great value, and were equated to a Masters' degree to memberahi^.: ii dloctorate degree for the fellowship. But in view of the large number of Universities established which may not realise the value of these institutional awards and in view also of the students of ti.e Institution diesiring to have a degree awarded to facilitate their further post-gr«iduate education abroad, the Indian Institute of Science applied to the University Grants Commission,. After very careful consideration, both by the then Chairman, Dr. C ,D, Desfimukh, and the members of the University Grants Commission, it wa^ felt that if there is any one Institution more than any other that deserved to be given the stntus of the deemed University, it was this Institute of Science, Bangalore, i^iore particularly for granting Degrees, though the Diplomas of the Institute were known all the world over. At that time, the members of the University Grants Commission and'the then Chairmen were reticent In allowing this nomenclature to be adopted to other less known institutions. It was felt at that time that only on very rare occasions that Institutions of standing should be considered for this purpose. I do not know since then h. ?/. rr„.ny insti ­ tutions have been declared as ’Deemed Universities* by the University Grants Commission,

The question foj‘ considuratlon at present however is different and of greater slgnlficance. For the first time a professional insti­ tution in the ^'acuity of Msdicine vishes to be considered as a deemed University, I have my serloua -icrlt t i n in feOetptlng such a proposal. The Collef^e has no dc-ubt done good work, but it must be understood that being a professional colle e, it is much more necessary that it should be in tho midst of the ijcneral atmosphere of a University, so that the g idance of eminent members of the Departments of the Univer­ sity, namely in Sbience, Technology, Humanities, may be available to It, as also the other advantages of academic life of a University, I am therefore una 'Ic- to recommend that the m.K’ical college should be treated as a deemed University,

My experience with vi in instltut n as the ^11 India Institute of Medical Sciences, is that it would have been better if it had been affillatod to a well-known University, As one connected with the All India Institute of Medical Sciences from Its Very Inception , I may say that the conditions under which that It may be declared for all practical purposes a University by an /ict of Parliament were different at that time. It was therefore necessary to pass a Law in Parliament to give it the status of a University, I have not been completely satisfied that it was the best t^lng to have been done at that time. It is true that the Indian Institutes of Technology, in difrer'nt Kanpur, Delhi, Btjmbay and I^Iadras have been given the status of a ^University under the -^.cts of the Parliament. But it may be noted that these are not deemed Universities, taut regular Universities consti­ tuted by Parliament, and therefore, they are responsible to the Parliament, and to the Ministry of Education. The question of a deemed University Is different. I am most reluctant, as I said above, for any professional college t.> bo considered as a deemed Universityo Moreover facts have to be faced squarely. The Medical College at Vellore is a Christian Institution, with a pre-ct, and has sseveral safeguards, and the very status of a University demands, cin(4 emphasises the need for the proper main­ tenance , of standards, Occa.*silonally i f a University fa ils in this very process, there are adeq-iate ^teps to rectify it, if only they are undertaken by the authoriti

I regret therefore I unable to commend the idea that the Christian Medical College, Vcellore, should be declared as a deemed University, I feel sure thialt when once this is done a great deal of decadence ih standards wl IH ^follow. If the institution wishes to maintain staindards there i£S mo reason why affilia tio n to the University should in any way Impede tlhejlr programme materially either in the maintenance of standards oir in the opening of new courses of studies. This College has been givern all opportunities by the University of Madras to function effectl\ve5ly, and to open new branches of study both at the undergraduate jamd postgraduate level, In l^rslng, in Medicine, in Surgery, and im the Higher Sipecialltles,

Under the clrcuirstamcfor;, I hope the authorities concerned will desist from accepting the pllea for such an institution being called a deemed University, Leftt ’to myself, I would suggest that there should be no more deemed Unlversilt"ies, as more and more colleges of this nature may claim to be dercltared as deemed U niversities,”

The Department of Hteailth, Madras State have not sent their comments so far.

The matter is place«d before the Commission for consideration.

During the- pporiod 1921-32 the Vid/apeeth had two or three colleges and aboutt two scorcs of high schools affiliated to The Vidyapeeth held exxaminations leading to the degrees in artSi sciencesf ccrmercQ j^nd Ayurveeda and has sent out about lOOO graduates. Over 3000 students havee passed the Pravesha (Matriculation) Sxaminatlori, Hundreds of teac heers and students of this Vidyapeeth took part in the national movemnent from time to time,

Ayurvedic The Tilak Mahavidyalaya of Poonai which was affiliated t

VediG Sfeudi Qss: ~ The Vaidika Samshouhana MandaKwas founded by this Vid^pe^th in l^JB for the prosecution of Vedic studies and research, 'rhe Manddali^^which is registered under the Act XXI of I860 and also underr t ^ Pwbllc Trust Act, has published in five big a new cri tiical edition of Sayana's commentary on the Rqveda Samhita with indicees, wliich has won the praise of Sanskrit scholars in India and abroadd. The ManJala has recently undertaken certain other projects in tthe fivild of Vedic research. These include a critical edition off Krsna Yajurveda Taittiriya Samhita with commen­ taries, 3rautakosa - an 2 nc3«;lopaedi3 of Vedic sacrificial ritualst a ;)evanagari editioon of /ivosta, English translation of the principal Ipanisads, Avesta S^rr^mar and Reader, The Mandala has also published ^ with English translation and a sslQction ^yrrins witkh Hindi translation and notes. The State Government t H m j <^c>v(rernm?nt have been giving grant-in-aid to the Tilandala, he^andala has reccently constructed its own building at a cost of three lakhs, Thae finances were providr^d mainly by the Central government and the SState Government. The piece of land on which the DU It ding stands has i baen given to the Mandala by the Vidyapeeth on n^miinal rent, l^ven though the Mandala is now a separate registered body, itss close relation with this Vidyapeeth has still been mttjntained throuah the pwrovision for a majority of iretnbors on its Exdphtive Council to be i nominated by this Vidyapceth,

F.dnrntinn:- the Vidyapeotli corrmenced a non- official experiment of boafsic education in a g'%'’"p of villages in Poona District, Ixckingj ito the huge financial rGsporisibixit7 involved thereih, the oxperin’ent was later on restricted to one v.-llage only where a Basic Training CJeintre was also started in iiowever* on account of the continued^ want of selfless and sincere teacners and also on account of finannc ial d ifficultieSf both the Training Centre as wall as the Basic $chho(ol were closed in 1950.

Sarvofi?jya Inin;;g.! - In 1949 the Vidyapeeth organised a Sarvodaya training-Classs to tm in workers capable of conducting Sarvod»*ya Centres Gpenef5c1 by the Government of Dombay. The class was conducted for tvo y^eairs.

In 1946 the Vidyapeeth opened a regular I’ublication mpj'vio tment and published 2 1 books in •i'lrathi in addition to about 8 baoldis; previously publislied. A mc>jority of thi books deal with scientlffiic subjects and are wrUten fcr the comm(n people* A few relate ts) comiiierce and village economics and o:ie is a translation of 3. S'an^feVrit work on poetics. Mention may parti­ cularly be made cf the iBlistory of National Education in Maliaraihtra*

The attainment of India’ s independence entii\?ly cthfangod the outlook of education. Seeisg that it was not necessary to) mialntain a parallel edi-cational systef.» th(5 Vidyapeeth decided to ddo'vote itself to such asiOects of education as did not receive adequatte attention of statutory Universities*. The Sanskrit language and Uerarning was one of such subjects. Its study has been acknowledged oDn all hands as essential for the true under^ standing of Indians ancii "^nt culture and also beneficial to the study of modern Indian languaag

The Vidyapeeth hais also been tackling the problem cf higher Sanskrit learning by inisttituting a degree course and a post-graduate course with various optional subjects like Grammar, Logic» Poetics, Philosophy etc* The Jecigirees of Visharada and Parangata conferred by this Vidyapeeth on Saisfekrit graduates have been recognised by the Govti of Maharashtra asJ equivalent respectively to the 3 ,A. and M.A* of a statutory Universiitj^r. fhe necessity of teaching higher Sanskrit along traditional Unas has been stressed by scholars in India and abroad. The Vidyapeethi bias been trying its best to fulfil this obiect and founded in 1948 its own Sanskrit College for that purpose. No fees are charged to stucdents. Grant-in-aid is received from the Government of Maharashtirai. Scholarships are awarded to deservina students and free lodgirng and boarding arrangements are provided for tne students who are ,ieee(2 y and who are studying in the hiqher classes Several students passed the Visharada and Parangata examinaUoL! I- is, however, found tihait students are at present not willinn tn devote thenselves entircely to the higherlanskrU studies alo'ng ” traditional lines, under the pressure 05f the changing economic and, social conditions. Tho time has. thowejfore, come to achieve the . objective through different channels.

The deqrees and diplomas awarded! Iby this Vidyapeeth prior to 1932 been rscoqnisod by the State) CGovernmer-t and the Central Goi^ernment as eftuivalant to similar ds’-g^rees and diplomas awarc»ed y a statutory Univeisitj. The Vidyspoet h discontinued « conduct most \ o f these exprainations from 1053. Betwiaoen tr.o period W3^.^->3^abci.t ^-dozen students passed tl.a graduate e^xaamlnDtaor.s two studon.s ^assea th6 post-qraduate examination and 200 sttudents passed t,ie Pi-avosha (Matriculation), It is advisable and rceasonabla that the exami­ nations passed by thesQ students should also be recognised.

3» ‘ - Another important sstep towards the propagation of the study of languages was taken by ^thhe Vidyapeeth in 1957, In order that the study of the English langu-ip/je should be consolidated and expanded on a wider scale# the Vidyfapoeeth has formulated a graded course of five examinations which, whan ctojupleted, would enable a student to under standi read and write thie) English language in an efficient r>t,nner and also to converse abljy and easily. Special text« books of lessons and grf^}?.mar have been preepared with the help of experienced teachers and have been publiislhed by the Vidyapeeth, These examinations are also conducted at diffe^reent centres twice a year* and wltnin a short period they have beconnee popular among the student** world, j

. I- In order tthat the general efficiency should be attained by students and that thhejr may stand the te^t of general knowledge in competitive examina tilons , the Vidyapeeth intro- for system of holding two o;xaiminations. Books reconmended for these examinations are published by this Vidyapeeth. The exami­ ner ® studentsi have been derivinq benefit out 0 1 these examinations.

p. t#o* 5 , Mat-hp-mntir.st - Mlatithemat ics is a subject ivhich is generally looked upon, by students as- ea difficult one. In order to remove this fear from the minds of the? sstudents and in order to create confidence among them for qras'iing thie ) subject with Jess ef^ortp,> the Vidyapeeth introduced in 1964 a cci^rsJOi of five exr.T.i Bat ions m K>r h?Hr.atics.

1* The significance of encouraging the study of S a n s k r it languago and learning as a means of understanding aid maintaining the cu.lturaX heritage of India and as a source of developirig modern Indian lan­ guages cannot be overstated, f^sit Govt* ot' India fully realizes, the iraportanoo of this subject is evident from the fact that the Govt, appointed in 19G6 a Sanskrit Ccinmission *’t> consider the queGtion of the present state of Sanskrit education in all its aspects*** The ConariissiOil worked stroneouslyt preparel its Report wiiiitti a very short period an ' subrritted it to the ^veriment in Ncveiibar 19b7. The Govt* of India not only studied the Roiort but also brought into practice several of its recomniendatiois. The Sanskrit-loving people are |ndoad g?cateful to the Govt, foi the active sympathy they have shown to Sanskrit education*

2m The Tilak Vidyapeetht howevert sul^jmlts that Sanskrit education needs to he encouraged in western India whioh has been one of the regions where Sanskrit studies have been fostered since long, Foona is recognised as a centre of Sanskrit learning even at present,

3 , As noted in the accompanying pamphlett the Tilak Vldyapeoth started its activltucjs of Sanskrit education twenty years back* The operation of the three language formula in Western India necessitated the introduction of a scheme of graded examination in Sanskrit language. The scheitTd Has proved very succejsi'ult and during a period of eighteen years throe lakhs of students ajpeared for these exami­ nations in h?u:dreds of centres in Maharasht'a and neighbouring areas. As a step towards the encouragement of higher Sanskrit learning along traditional mcthodsi the Vidyepeeth started its own Sanskrit Maha- vidyalaya in 1940 where students arc taught according to the syllabus fra^ned by the Vidyapeeth, The vidyapeeth conducts the ^Visharada” degroe examination and the ’’Tarangata” post-graduate examination. These degrees have been recognised by the State Gov-ernments and the Govt, of India as equiir«ij.ent respectively to B./u and of a statutory University for the purpose, of Govt, service. At the .initial stage free lodging ancj boarding were provide! for the students. This system of help |,^ter on substituted by grant of scholatships. The yidj^apQeth has $o |a| spent thousands of rupees in running this activity.

4 . With a long to its credit, the Vidyape^lth, aspires to cut a new path preservation oj Sanskrit learning. The findings of the Sanskjfit (Jorip^k^sion also reqiiro to be taken into, consideration iti this « The Congnission has taken a survey of the present stats? studies in tie different parts of India (Chap#lXl)«, It >»|tf»,refe%ed to the abore two systems of Sanskrit Education, S^^^tional and modern, and has stated that the dual system # |;fa !^k rif education ii India is, in a sense, a legacy of tha Brltw h riilp>»(?rt ^ , 3 5 further pointed defects ibf bota the tradit.onal and modern systems (v*35*-42J* Ihe Conimi?^ion^therefore, states that a “a reapproachment may be attempted f?l;fninati|g the pefeets and ippropriating the merits^ taking care not to destroy the ©s^antial charscteristics of either** (p* 112) . Ther^ ultimate §oal, according to the Commission, should be that **the modern Onivesrsity Sanskrit ediication may be taken as the ba5!lc foundations and the characteristic features of the Pathashalas can be §ll?irafted on it:^ In this case the Pathashalas will be dis­ continued and will cea?se to existg yiiile the University system will continue to furct^ion with the added aspects of the Pathashalas” . (V* 7 ^ 0 P« 123). The {Commission further adds ’’There is nothing inherently incompatiblie or improbable in the University system acquiring a new dimetisJio'n of Sanskrit scholarship wherein the depth and intensity of the F ’athashala learning is fruitfully combined v/ith its own"modern methods of historical and critical approach. In the present state of ilts organisation* however, this may be difficult to achieve from the po)int of view of the average University student or teacher. It iss ne^vertheless conveivable thatg in the not too distant future, oi^jing largely to the adoption of the Tathashala method of intensive, lino-by—line study of the texts and tlieir analytic under­ standing, the Pandit aand the Professor may become identical. Ws should even hope for tthis to happen." (p,124) . As an initial step, however, the Gonraission has referred to the depresv^',ion from which the present Pathashalas hawe been suffering (v« 50«53)g and h'5S suggested ways of reorganising tthem (v . 57-«72), and improving them (Vl 26-20), Regarding the integrat:ion of the Pathashala and the University systems of Sanskrit education into a single system. The Commission^ however, recommends a greater maeasure of co-operation between the two syslemst helping the two to app^roximate each other steadily and gradully, so that a healttiy and loniting integration of the two might naturally emerge at some future date.” (p. 253), The Commission has also continued ’‘that oarq sihould be taken to sec that thoro is no hybridisation by bringing the two systens together in a superficial manner.** (p ,2 5 4 ),

5 . Now the Vidyapeeth submits that ten years have passed since the Commissi on V. I?epor*t was submitted to the Govt, of India, and that during this period attcempts seem to have been made to recognize and improve some of the Paithashnlas. I'^e think the time Si as come to assess the results of the reorganisation and improvement of those Tathshalas^ So far as? we can see, such attempts seem to have been made at a feu places o?nly on Govt, level; the private Pathashalas do not seem to have consitdered the matter seriously in spite of the Gcvernment^s readiness; to render proportionate finpncial help probably because in the opinioni of their organizers such a reorganization would hardly appeal to the sttudents. The result has been that the Pathashalas are being closed down .one by one for want of students, and those I'iiich still exist are isoinehow trying to keep their existence. This has been the sad story' of the Pathashalas in vjestern and southern India w^!iere a number o)f Pathashalas were working efficiently sc^ years back.

6 . ^ While pointing oDUt the merits of the Traditional method* the Commission has remarkeed: "It must, however, be rememberedT that, what has been said above is pertinent only as regards an ideal Pathashala. Such Pathashalas had liong become a things of the past, and the so- called traditional patttern of Sanskrit education v/hich has been in vogue in r,he recent tinmeS has departed considerably from the age old ideal, ^nd this was qvaitb inevitable in view of the ec^nomict social ^nd political conditioVns in the country which had been changing fast and fundamentally. ” (pr. lOQ), BYom this it might be concluded that the present Pathashalas cafhnot be expected to roach the ideal old stage whatever attempts mightt be made to support thean financially and to . improve their syllabi. U^Jder these circumstances, the only way outf as recommended by the CCommission, 5s to integrate both the traditional and modern sy^tons of £Sa»iskrit education by taking the modern University Sanskrit education as ’ithe basic foundation and by engrafting on it tha characteristic featuress of the Pathashalas. 7 Tho Vidyapeeth further thinks that time has come to talse initial steps tov^n.rds bringing tho idea into pracctice now* As already stated, ^ tho Pathashala education is deterioratingg day by day in western and south^rri India and unfortunateJy the day is not far away wnen the PEthasha-las system may go (Ml of practicea. In the ooini.on o^ tnis Vidyapeeth^ the‘present generation of traadltionai Pandits may prove to be the last oner, Oader such c 5 rGUin3 t3 anctiS® tne achieucriierits of the prGsGnt day Tsrdit rn.'^st be fully explloitod withoyt any deiRy if at all the main charEotarictic f8 (?tures cof the Patbashala system are to be preserved in another forsn. It won lid not onry oe unreasonable but also fatal to await the day when tho modoni, Pathashala systems 'knight naturally enierge at soma ffutnre date*^*«, Special attempts tov^ards integration need to be made immeddiar.ely^ aru there is a danger of the present generation of traditional Pandits being totally d?s- appOared so as not to be of any use for aachievlng the integration^ even though it may be proposed to take anny steps towards integration at a later dato«

ftt /iS a step« at the right momenta thee Ttlak Vidyapeata, therefore! proposes to introduce on integrated coursse in higher Sfmskrit learning as indicated above, 'Ihe course will be ddistribJitod over a period of four years at the end of which the degreee of (Special) will bo avjfarded. The courrio v/111 be a modern Uniivorslty course in v/hich the principal elci.iar'ts of the ratfuishala systtem will be incorporatei. After the i^xominatioM with Sanskriit and English as the com­ pulsory subjec LG, there will be a tve-d< ggree cou.i’se of orao year after iviiich thoro vjiii be a three years ' i-egreee Course« The distribution of subjects and p a p e r v d ll be ^er\Gially tD that of the syllabus of statutory Universities. Hie students will be expected to acquire an adequate knowledge of the Sanskrit lan>iguane and literature and besides to have closely studied the elemeentary works (prakatana Grantha) of the principal philosophical s.ystems, Ttie latter will enable the student to possess a sound knoowledgo of the Sinslcrit language and tb develop a philosophical aacumeii. The Senskrit Corrass)on has already pointed out the neacassity of maintaining the study of Sanskrit phl,l/)sophical works forr the pre.-vervdtion of Indian Culture (V, 4 6 ). At tfce pon-graduate sttnge* the student v\rill be reqidied to study nore comprehensively a particular branch of Sanskrit literoture, A nraduatei v\?ho has gone thrrou:-jh such a coiirse will generally be found suitable for ai

9« Atte<;ipts will seriously have to be mna!e to train Sanskrit teachers. At present there is a crying need of Sanskcrit teachers with scores of High Schools which are coming into being ewery year. Unless this demand nf ^ talking of the preservation t“r frovisdon will have to be raado to haJe t . ® Course. The former will have be kept open also to the Sanskrit EShastrles and others who have 0 not completed the under-graduate studies. It is ev id e n t that these courses would attract students only if they are supported by „ovt. authoritj',

10 It is not cnl'^ advisable but essential that a Sanskrit Department o f 'r u c h dirasnsions and standards shc,i.id be supportou by researoh and publication aotivlt^-e:- Tiie Tllak Vidyapeelh nas recently made b-Jninninq in this direction. It is, however, possiole tc pU-engthen this section substantially by olosei.;' associatinfj vjith the Vidyapeeth the activities of the Vaidika Samsiiodhan Mandala whxch was originally founded as a regular re?earoh branch of this Vidyaooeth and which is related tc this. Vidyapeeth even at present. The Vaidika Samshodhan Mandala v;hieh has been operating certain schemes of Vodic research and publication receives grant-in-aid from the c^fitral Govt, and the State Government. T^he Mandala has constructed its oivi building at a cost of r.bout Ks. throe lakhs* towards i^jhich the Central Govt, and 5t.ate G o n . have made substantial grants.

11. Furnished with all the necessary Departments, the Vidyapeeth would very much like to function as a Sanskrit University ii western India. It may be noted in this connection tlsat the Vidyapeeth has been conducting for the last eighteen years graded oxaminstions In Sanskrit language

12. The constitution of free India is based on democracy, .^ence it is essential that the population should bo enabled to participate in the administration of the nation.to the maximum extent. This would be possible only if the v;ork of administration is carried on through t!ie languages of tlie people. Major steps have Ix^en and are being taken in this direction. As a logical consequence of this policy, linguistic States have already come into being, and furt/)er steps are being taken to revisa tho boundaries of some of t»?e States. This is all happening as it should. Attention will hoivever have, at the same time to be paid to see that these democratic steps do not harm the spirit of nationalism. The situation in the country in this behalf is un-^ fortunately not encouraging. Things sometimes appear to take such turn that the very principle of national integration is at times struck at the root. Such a stage of things is harmful to national solidarity and national ivelfare. At a time when concentrated attention requires to be paid towards self-sufficiency and economic uplift of the nationi much energy is being wasted towards eliminating the sentiment of disharmony among the various sections of the people. Certain attempts are being made at different places and at different levels to combat this sentiment and establish the conception of national brotherhood, In view, howeverj of the stupendous nature of the maladyi the attempts unhappily fall short.

13. The Tilak Vidyapeeth aspires to play an important part in this national duty along academic lines. It will strive to bring together young men speaking languages of the bordering states, namely, Kannada, Teiuguj and Gujarati. Thousands of persons speaking the Sindhl language who left their homeland for ever at the time of partition are living in and around Poona. It is a necessity to establish contact with them and create among them a sense of homogeneity. The people speaking the Tamil and the Malayalam languages are playing an important part in running the administration of th’ ^ ’^ ' ' ^ " 9 together all these people purpose, yhe northern and the southern India are two important sections which are playing equally important parts in shaping the destiny of India, and it is a vital task to maintain goodwill nmonq tho residents of thor.e two sections. teOGrapnioatty Mahh- .. rashtx'i links uo those tvio sections^ hemce it is in a position to r,l^v tb^ vital roie of coordinating thorn. The regional Marathi

irpportant languages ot Lidia cannot but create a sti r>itg sease of mutual rsspeot and naticnal solidarity. I 14, Tho imiqua position of Poona in Mafnarashtra oolcr.owledged ^ , on a.11 hands. The uniqueness Is felt evan in the ooniext of a variety of langur.aes. The impact of Poona on the; M apthi ionguage is aoknoulGdgeO, Foona han been contributi rii Gf liberally to the develop­ ment of Hindi* As a seat of Sanskrit learning Foona is wallknown ail over Is*dia, There are eighty thousand citisens in Poona whosiG mothertcnrue is Kannada. There are in Poena High Schools with Kannada as the medium of instruction. The population of the Andhras in Poona c m be counted by thousands and their children have been having their ef^i’.cation in several Primary and Si^t*:*or.d£ry Schools* The number of Gujarati* spa aiding people in Poona is about s evan tj^-r five thousands. Beside? the numerous, Pritsiary Schools they have thoir High Schools with Gujarathi as the medium of instruction, Sindhi people vto nun'ibor In thousand?- have been running three sindlii High tVchool^ and a ci41oye, Thr^’isands of Tan-iliaiis have bcum living in Poona maiitly for the purpose o.C Conors 1 Gcvt* SFfvicer.. TJney have been rr.aintaining their own Prin.^iry Schools and High Schools;* The nuiwber of persons speaking the Malayalnn langi^nge is also not small. All these people will willingly avail themselves of the fa o iH t le s made available in Poona for thoir yoiuiysters for prosecuting higher learning with a bias for their mothertongue,

15, The Vidyapeeth will formulate courses at the graduate and post-graduito levels which would 'generally be conncnsurato with those of a Statutory universities. For the ,n as a liberal minded citizen and an advocate of national integration, A sketch of the syllabi for the graduate and post-graduate s tudles is orenared Hy the Vidyap'33ih.

16, It may be noticed that the statutory Ujiiversities have already provided for the study of modern Indian langiaages at the graduate and post-graduate levels, Thiu the University o£ Poona, for exomple, has incorpornpx! into its syllabi for the (General and special) notions the study of Kannada. Gujarati, S'indhl, Hindi, th^xi 4 r Lrdu side by side w|th the regional language. naTielv Marathi, he Uiniver- A comparison ol the relevant portion of the syllabi of^Tilak Vidya^

p«t,0 . B Ju(General). In other words;# » whils at the Poona Univerpity, a student wculd have stidiad ade^qiquately mndern Indian language only ii he has taken tiie course o;of (f>pecial) in that lang^Rge, every student of the ':iick Vidiy^yapoeth v/;.ll have a ^^ery g'^od grounding of the language of Ills choice a along with other co'npulsory subjects. A3 a result# it woiId appear tth.hat every few stud5?iits of the Poona University net only ii Poona Kbu)ut also, in outs Ida coUegos have takeni up B.A.(Special) course in lamgiguajes like Kannada, Gujarathi and Sindhi» This positio.if I subnmiut, hardly serves the purpose for which the courses in those language's 5 have been instituted*

17» /in important aspect of tithe Tilak Vidyapeeth^s Schome is that it will aiiord a rar« and vaHu?uable opportunity; to tne students speaking djfforent languages t(to mix together freely in an academic atmospL»ere, Students even frrorom outside may join the coI3ege of tlie Tilak Vidyapeeth, heice a stuididents* hostel vdll be a necessity. Su»ch: a hostel will decidelly provUd de additional opportunities for a students speaking different Ua.anguages to live together: and exchan-ga views. The Vidyapeeth vdll fSt;trive to secrre the services of efficlenit and experienced teachers of ththese languages. Consequently staff quarters will have lo be coniststructedt and this facility can he fully exploited for the piirpose f o r r which the scheme is proposed to be launchedfi n&p’cl^e c^3->ting gjcrcod e3ighbourly relatio.ns among the people speakiriCi different la^nrngyages on a collective basis will f3cilita>e a ccinp"jri^:ivo stmd,dy of thase language and the results of such studies may be pubUrdKedd through independent publications and al^o the jourr»i\i. coiduc.tevi lby>y the Vidyapeeth. Cultural activities will be u^^derti'ken so that ?a t sense of respect for the languages* literatures* arts, anj regi'omnal cultures of people of the different States could be developed. TThe provision made for the encouragement- for the study of tie Sanskr itit language and literature as detailed in the first part of this r'ejepresentation is calculated to contribute to the efforts of "he Vidyaiptpeeth towards the goal of achieving nati.«onal integrati?n. At t:h(he initial stage, the yidya|)eeth will provide for the stidy of thie e Kannada, Gujarati, and Siudhi languagest and in course of time the sclcheme may be extended to the study of tho Telugii^ Tor.il and ‘4alayalanm i languages.

Dated 1st May 1968

Item No.0; To consider the recommcndatlions of the Estimates Commit 1,00 of Parliament mado. in its l02nd report relating to tutorials In Unllversities and Colleges,

The Estimates Committee of tlhe -iarliament in its I02nd report had inter-alla pointed outt as under:

*^he Committee attach great iilmportance to the tutorials as they play an important role in irnprooving the standards of education in colleges and universities.. They hope that adequate financial provision will be made in thee Fourth Plcin to enable pro­ per orgEuilsation of tutorials in unlverrsit les/colleges. The Com­ mittee suggest that in the meantime connsistent with the financial resources and limited staff and accomnioodatlon available every effort should be made to Introduce tutODrials in universities and colleges and organise them on sound linnes,”

The Government of India in its reply haad intimated the Estimates Committee that the suggestion has been i noted#

In this connection it may be i mentioned that the Univer­ sity of Delhi had in 1958 Introduced thae tutorial system as an experimental measure in order to developp independent thinking and comprehensive study of subjects among s^tudentg of Honours courses. The intention was that tho experience grained in the course of operat' ing the scheme would eventually form thne basis of a well-organised tutorial system In the colleges of tho 5 Delhi University receiving maintenance grant from tho University GJrr:uits Commission, The Delhi University was requested In the first linstance to send a report on the working of tho Tutorial Scheme.

A note on the working of the Tutorial and Preceptorial Schomo received from the University is i attached(Appendix I).

The matter is placed before tlhe Commission for considera­ tio n.

WORKING CF TliE TUTCRIAL iUvD PHECLPTCRIAL SCHE>ES IN THE UNIVERSITY

The tutorial system was introduced In this University in 1958 iLS.an experimental measure in order to deveiop independent thinking and comprehensive studies of subjects among students. o f . the Hons^ Courses, It was assumed that the experience gained "n the course of operating it would eventually form the basis of a well organised tutorial system in the Colleges of the University, financed! by the University Grants Commis&ion,

In May 1962, on a suggestion of the Advisory and the Executive Committees of the Tutorial Scheme, the Vice-Chancellor appointed a committee to go into the entire problem of tutorial instruction in all its aspects and to re-think some of the basic issues involved in the organisation of a tutorial system as vsound and regular method of Instruction.

Tlie rocommendations made by the said committee were considered by the Academic Council of the University at their meeting teld on 25.4.63 and were accepted by the Council with two 'exceptions nairiely that credit be given to the students in the Final University Examination for his work in tutorials and preceptorials and that the system of Internpi-l assessment be introduced with effect from. 19Fv3-F4 beginning with 1st year students.

The recommendations of the comjrdttee as finally accepted were as follo\JS to be introdused wit^ effect from the academic year 1963-P4.

1 . The preceptorials which nre Intended to complement what is covered in leoturcs by additional studies based on discussion and written work, be introduced for all subjects of B ,A ,(pass) and B .Sc . (G<^nl.) and for subsidiesry subject of Honoui’6 ■st'udents.

2. That Tutorials which ai’e intended to train students within the context of a study programii*^, in the use of sources (e.g. ■jiexta) the organisation and presentation of material reaching conclusions by independont thinking and competent communication^ be introduced for the Main Subject in B « A ./ B.Sc.

14, That Tutorial.s and Preceptorials for all students be introduced wi th the session beginning from July, 1963. With regard to the recommendation off the comiri.ittee relating to internal assessment, the Council decided thx&t iiie position regarding the working of the Tutorial Scheme be reTiejwed after one year when it could also be.considered whether internaal assessment based on Tutorials/Preceptorials •could form part oiT the evaluation of the students' performance. ~

In-April, 1964 the Academic Council of the University reviewed the working of the Tutorial/Preceptorial Scjhrme and also considered the question'whether or not for under-graduaate students internal assess­ ment based on tutorials/preceptorials .‘and PPeriodical tests in the colleges should complaiient the results of t:he public examinations held by the University, It was decid(4 that colQeges should introduce the system of Internal ilssessment (or grading) based on the performance at Tutorials/Preceptorials and Periodical/Trest/s for promotion from one class to another at the colleges level,, as an experimental measure for one year and the situation shoujld then be reviewed after one year on the basis of the experience gai.ned to find out if the scheme could be adopted at the University level fojr University Examination. It was also decided that in the course of siubsequent year the University should collect material with regard to titlte of lectures, periods of work, books corrected etc., 1:^ the teachers and a: committee was also appointed to survey the working of the scheme for neceessary revision in the light of the date collected.

In October, 19R5 the Committee conadcdered the data collected and observed that the question of work-load of tteaching was a subsidiary matter, the main point being the assessment of the work of“ Tutorials and Preceptorials in the colleges and felt, tthat for purposes of ' . attaining better standard teaching, the eKisQtiing teachgr-pupil ratio would need revision,

Ih e Gorianittee a ft e r c o n s id e r in g t b o lbservations of the P r in c ip a l s of Col lege? s/he ads of Departments, on the won* king of the scheme of internal assesamtmt of candidates for varioms examinations, based on performance at Tutorials/Preceptorials and Periodical Tests for promotion from one class to ariother at the college lev/el introduced as an experimental measure observed that Tutorials^ were working quite satis­ factorily. Preceptorials wore, however, not uaken by the students seriously. It was felt that at the precepto.-)rial classes there was in some cases a tendency to copy from other stuidents' work or from bookg atid observed that this might be due to the ejmphasis laid on written work as the basis for assessment and marks b^elng assigned to it, and suggested that preceptorials should be largedy utilised for removing students’ difficulties and developing the unaderstanding and critical faculty. The Committee also observed that t.he number of students in a Preceptorial class was more than the numbejr prescribed in the recommendations of the Committee on Tutorial;,s and Pr'eceptorials. Ihls lead to less attetion being paid to.indllvidual studefcs and that unless the quality of the preceptorials was improved the performance thereat would not be a correct basis of inteirnal assessment for purposes of University axaminatlons,

The Comndttee recommended that there iwas need to continue the present working of the seheme of internal asfsessment at the B.A.(Pass) level for a few more years before it could hm introduced at the University Ebcamination and that the experiitiemt might be watched for a year or more at the B,A,(Hons .)stage. Howevfer, to begin with, the scheme might be introduced at the University level in respect of B.Sc.(Hons.) and M,Sc. Courses and in some subject of M,A , Courses.

Hie Academic Council at their meeting held on 13th January, 19P^ considered the above recommendations of the CCommittee and resolved that this question as a whole after collecting moire information from the colleges be considered again by an enlarged (Committee, The E n la rg e d Gorainitiitee v i s i t e d a fe w c o lle g e s and d is c u s s e d the matter with teachers takLing tutorial and preceptorial groups at the individual level and recopimaended as follows:

''The Committee made3 it clear that the internal assessment should be based on the following?:-

(i) Tut,orial/Prece;pptorlals

(ii) Periodical Tesits which should not be less than two during a ye a]7. •

The Committee hald the vie.w that the purpose of the preceptorial was to supplement what wa^s covered by Icctures by' way of pjroviding additional opportiinity to3 students for disciis.slpn on subject and by written work with the objiect of developing comprehension. The Committee felt that the ppresent practice was to lay emphasis only on written assignement by thae students and has, therei'ore, deteriorated into a mechanical routine©. The Committee made it clear that they wo\£Ld not lay down any haard and fast rules in respect of the nature of Tutorial and Pi’eceptorialL, but the Committee recommended that attendance at these tutorials and prfeceptorials should be made compulsory for all the studeiits.

III. Work-load of Teacherra.

The Committee agreead with the view that the work-load of teachers ' siiould not exceed 18 periiods a week, out of which 3 periods- should be accounted for the time sppent on correction of scripts. The Committee also suggested that theres should be more composition work in language subjects at tiie B»A.(Paass) level and it should be independent of the scheme of the Tutorial arM Preceptorial, The Committee also felt that the scheme of tutorial amd preceptorial has not succeded l^ecause periodical assignments arre not enough as the number of teachers in colleges ie inadequate, 'The Committee were of the view that there should be more teachers jin order to conduct more preceptorials at the B,A.(Pass) level. The Ccommi.ttee emphesised the importance of the preparation of lectures rand it suggested that the teachers should be encouraged in every possiible manner to prepare their lecti^res thoroughly.. The Committee also suggeasted that the question of tutorial work at the M,A, level should be exanmined by the Departments in consultation with c o l l e g e s .

The above recommencdations of the Committee are yet to be consideredi by the Principals of the colleges and the Academic Council of the University. MdfcQting : :>3atQd : 1st Rfey 1968

The Committee rccoramonds that tho University Grants Commission may recognise the Department of History„ ^^iligarh Muslim University as a Centre of iulvanced ‘Itudy to. spec.ialise particularly in the field of Medieval Indian. History. This recommendation has been made keeping in view the acM-.-.vorants o f the d e i ’artiri'- nt ro far, the facilities available and the i>otentiality for furthier' development of the depart­ ment into an all-India centre for t h o sltu^’y of History,

(i) The department should concentrate iits efforts on tho study of Medieval Indic'n History I.e. the period r a n g i n g from 800 to 1800 A .D . and integrate its studies in relation to the social activity and political aspects prevailing- d ring that: period. In order to lay due emphasis on Economic History, the Gommit-.tee suggests that the professorship tp'-be approVec3 may bo f i l l e d in the field of Economic History.

(i i) The programmes of training and research to bo taken up should be of an all-India nature so as to attract scholars from different uni­ versities to comQ.tq this department for' specialised work. The scholar' ships and fellov/ships in this centre shoiuld, therefore, be widely publicised and selection miay be made on an all-India basis,

(iil) In order that the Centre would have the benefit of close asso­ ciation and also the advice of scholars and historians from other universities, the Centre miay appoint a suitable Advisory Committee, as is done by other centres of advanced study also. Such a Committee would help in periodically roviawlng the.' programmes of work undertaken by it and advise on other academic and aidministrative matters relating to tho functioning if the Centre,

The following grants have been rec'ommended by the Committee for this department to strengthen its a c tiv itie s and function as a Centre of iVdvanced Study,

The department has veil equipped research laboratories and supporting technical and administrati-\e staff for the training and research prograimies undertakan .by it. It jossesaes one of the finest libraries in the field of Biochemistry and gubscribes to as many as 150 journals relating to various aspects of Biochemistry, Complete sets of reference books and back numbers of most of the journfOLs are also available , Apart from the researcti laboratories and staff rooiis, the department has facilities, such as, Itacer’s 3 roon, AnlHial House, analyt.lcal Instrunents Laboratory, Temperature Control Roomoms Dark Rooias, Centrifuge Rooms, Ba.cteriologal Rooms'and Micro-analysis laboratory essentially required for tlie type of work undertaken by it. The department has also one of the very w^ill laid out worksht»p and machine room and has access to the Central Scieitific Instrumentation Laboratory of the Institute.

Over the past five irears the department has published 226 resea^'ch papers, of which. 121 were published in international journals outside India and the rest were puolis.hed in Indian journals, Ihe total number of research scholars working towards advanced degrees in this department is 43 besides several short term workers who come to the Ins-titute from the otheE ijnstitutions and research wprkjrs on sponsored schemes. Ttie nuffib^ of Ph.Ds.. awarded from the department has averaged more than ten in the past five years and ir'1:176 last two years were 14 and 16 respectively. A number of distinguished Biochemists from different countries have visited this department for workirg in association with the highly qualified staff and research workers in this department, 15 research schemes sponsored

^ p . t ,o by several national and international agencies are in progress at present and the* grants available^ as a result of these research scheir^s amount to more than Rs. 15 laldis. Hie department has ?lso organised a large nimber of seminars and symposia on specialised topics and these have^ averted more than 15 in a year, All these activities clearly substantiate the distinct position that the department occupjes in India in the fieli of Biochemistry and its achievements in previois years and the potentialities that exist for its devnlopment into a rational centre for advanced training and research in the field of Biochenistry.

■^s indicated above, tho jor areas o' research interest of the department fall into eight different groups, pf these, the groups relating • to Lipids, Vitapiins and Proteins are by frr the biggest. It would, therefore, be quite appropriate for this department to further strengthen and concentrate its efforts in t h e s e areas f^r pursuit of excellence and attainment of international standards of t^'-alning and research. Concent­ ration of the additional resources to be rrad« available to this department consec^uent upon its recognition aj a Centre of Advanced Study in these areas will not in ar^ way prejudice the growth and developrient of the other sections in the department* but on the contrary would help the other sections also to stret^gthen their ictivities so that at ait •appropriate time these could jiLsobe recognised for special support under the scheme of centres of advanced studj. Hie identification cf some areas within this department and conceniration of the:resources to develop these disciplines is necessaiy ii order to achieve the objectives within a reasonably good period of time, TVie department has therefore drawn ilp auitablo programrr-es oi work to be undertaken in the study of Proteins, Lipids and Vitamine, Endocrine, Blochimistry Studies of Nucleic Acid and related subjects. The Committee is in agreement with these proposaJ.s and is confident that the departmont would be able to vigor 91^3 ly pursue i t s work i n these ar*eas and be able to come t O ‘ be recognised as a national centre for stuiy and research in the?9 b ra n ch e s »

Before making recommendations with regard to the requirements of the depaJ’tirient to function as a Centre of Advanced Study tl\e Committee would like to discuss a very important protleii relatir^ to the teaching and resefirch prograiuiiiud of tiiis departmoiit, is s t a t e d e a r l i e r , the Depart­ ment of BiochemiBtry, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore has very well qualified staff and exceedingly good lal rstory facilities for advanced training and research prograinmes In 'he subject. However, f o r historicfd reasons, the department has le^eloped more as a research institution and to provide for the teaching only to tiie extent required for its research students in thr form of gemiiifirs etc, In vlev/ of this, the acimisslons to the department are made, on an all-India basis, only for the Ph.D. degree level and beyond. While thlf specific character of the department, in particular, and several otter departments of the Institute, in general, has distinct advantages and is one of the effective ways of buildlnj/ up schools of resefrch, the Committee however would like to point out that it would be of still greater advantage if* the department could undertake some organised teaching) say, at the M.Sc. level. Such organised teaching and enrolfflsnt of postgraduate students would be of mutual advantage, in that the staff of the department would come in contact with fresh young minds and be able to train them in a. suitable, way for taking up teachipg and research positions and also ihe excellent facilities available within the de|^6i’tment aould be utilised for teaching progrrgjT'mes also, T}-ie Comndttee would like to emphasise here a ^ sliare the view expressed by the University Grants Commission that teaching ^id research flourish best together rind mutually stimulate each other. Ihe Comwiittee, therefore, urges that the department may give serious consideration to this suggestion to introduce organised teaching. This could be.doi;ie b^ providing a two-yoar M.Sc, coarse as well as by a one year post M.Sc, course whi.ch cculd serve as prsparation for a research degree. The kind of courses to bo offered by iepartment/S, such as, this one, should naturally be of a distinct ch racter from those available

: : p . t . o in other u n iv e r s it y insti'.u+io ns and Ihe Gorrunittee .s t r o n g ly f e e l s t h a t in view of the special na;ut'e of the Institute where inter-depS-rtmental collaboration and facilit.ee are excef^dingly good it should be possible to draw up a well balancei post-gradur.te programme of teaching in different branches of Bioihomistry and to attract the students from all oVer the country. The pe‘sonnel trained under such a scheme would help in strengthening’ the teaciing in other universities by providing qualified and ccrp'^tor . tv'ichfers in •: r-nbors and thus raising the standards of teaching and research in our universities. During the discussions which the Gomnittee had with thf staff of the department, the Committee felt that tion- w '.g some hesil tion in the minds of the staff regarding an M.Sc, progranje being introduced in the department. The, Committre pointed out that one of the essential functions of a Centre of Advanced Study ^as to engape itself in advanced teaching and research^ as otherwise thsre was the danger of the centre becoming purely a research instlti.tion making no impact on tlie universities in the ecuntry, A Vertic^ly iitegrated programr’e of teaching and research wes, therefore, of fundamental' importance to this department functioning as a Centre of Advanced 5tuiy. If for some reasons, it may not be possible for this departiient to initiate such a teaching programme, iimiediately, it could, t( begin with, provide for the one year post-M.Sc, course and plan for intrcducing a two-year course in the course of next year or so, 'Ihe requlrejents in this regard could be considered at a later date, taking into iccount the facilities that would be already available in the department for its functioning as a Centre of Advanced S tud y .

The Committee then discussed the requirements of the depa.rt- ment for the next five y^ars to consolidate and strengthen its activities of teaching aid research and to function as a Centre of Adva.ncedl Study in Biochemistry wi:h {Special emphasis on Proteins and Lipids, The facilities already availible ; nd the eanctions conveyed for this department as a part of the overall Fourth Plan development programmes of the Indian Institute Df Science, Bangalore have been taken into account while determinirg the ndditional requirements of this departiuenit as a Centre of Advanced Study, Tlie grmts and other staff already sanctioned as a part of th^ Fourth Plan she "’d therefore become available to this department to help to provide the necessary stratum not only in the fields of Proteins tnd Lipids but in other sections of the department, Ihe facilities to bo creatod^ both with the alp of the Fourth Plan development grants and elso the grants to be recomirended at present for the Centre of Advanced Study should be available for the entire departpnent end thus help in stimulating rapid growth of the department. The Committee# in view of tte considerations stated above, recominends .that the following non-iecurring and recurring grants may be made available to this department duriig the Fourth Plan Period.

Tl-ie Committee, at the outset, would li^

Committee cn Centro of /dv^;jiced Btudj;" and the decision taken by the r.G.C, to agree, in prirciple, to recognise the Department of" Higtorj/, idigarh .Ifelim University as a Centre of Advanced Study. The E)epartmf nt cf History, Aligarh MusJiin University occupies a leading position, x Marpch? on !everal. im portart phases of the l^die- val Indiani History,’ The depart/TBn. hag been ertgt^gea in res.earch of a high qualit-y and tbr. publications brought out by this department fully subs tanti--to tihe q u a lit y of thr workdor'^ by th--’ st-aff d r e se a r c h w o r k e r s of departm ent. The Commit-ee, t h e r e f o r e , i s happy to. recopiinejnd th e ^ocognition of this depirtment as a Centre of Mv,anced Study by the yniv: rsicy Gi'ants Gomniiision and is confident that with tha assistancf likely to be provided )y the Comjnissibn, the department would be able-' to make significant pro!res3 in the next five to ten years.

The Department of History, Aligarh Muslim University i.s one of t;he ^ell known University d«partments in the field of Hdstory which has organised its programmB of training and research on modern li nes giving due recognition :o the need for trfdning in allied disciplines in the field of Social Sciences ard also Hum«-nities subjects, Hie Introduction of the seiiBster system and tlie- reorgani.sation of the courses of study into distinctl/- identifiable courses provide for the study of History in this^ departnant on more SGientlfic linos and use of technique;.' of Historiography, The najor areas of ac ivo interest are: Medieval Indian History, Ancieni Indian History and Archaeology, Modern Indian History and the History of Persia and Central Asia. The sta.ff of two professors, five readeis, eight lecturers and four research assistants and a large number of r3se?irch scholars in the department are engaged in research in these bianclioB. The department hag a large collection of books, numbering ov(r 20,CX)0 and subscribes to over 50 journals. It has the necessary bsck nijmbers of moet of the journals and a rich collection of source, mterial, manuscripts and other unpublished materip*’ numbering over 60,000, Ihe a n n u a l intake at the postgraduate level i;.? of the order of ten st\dents for tho M.A, class and on an average two Ph.Ds. are awarded by ihis department annually. Most of the staff members are in Lhu group of 40 uo 50 yuars and have good academic record and also made s;gnificant contributions in the field of History'. Some of the publicatiois have received inf ’national recognition. The department has undertaaen a research schenie relating to the History of M e d ie v a l In d ia n Cul-,ure and H is t o r y of S c ie n c e s i n I4edie-val I n d i a in collaboration with -,he National Coiranission for History of Sciences , National Institute of Sciences of India and exploration and excavation work at Atranjikhera ii collaboration with the Archaeological Survey of I n d i a .

The programmes a* work proposed by the department would lay em.phasis ^ on the s’tudy of Medieval Indian History in relation to Ecorjomic Hist'ry. Social Hislory, Histor/- of Thought and Ideas, the fine Arts, Political and Administrative History, Historioal Geography and History of differont regions. The departmeit would continue its work relating to collection of source material by acquiring chrorlcles and other historical literatures and also copies of contemporary original documents in differentnt languages# The departnent would like to undertal© the publication of editions of texts, translations and calendar of documents in both Hindi and English, The preparation of monographs on different aspects of History would be continued in a coordinated fashion by investigations into several aspects cf the historical problems.

One of the impoitant proposals made by the department relates to the study of Histoiy of Central Asia in view of the close affinity between India and Cenral Asia during the Medieval period. The study of Central Asian History is mainly proposed to be vindertaten at the postgraduate level anc at the research level. The department is keen cn establishing contacts in this regard with the Institutes In Soviet Union part" • ’ '"•“:+itute .1 oLudies in Moscow, Leiningrad and in Cenixal Asian Republics, Exchange of visits and source maturiaJ. between the departriBnt md the Institutes in the So-vfiet Union is also envisaged.

^ Another important aspect,' proposel to be developed by th? dt:par mer.it relates to the study of the Histor; of West iisia during Medie val times, Tliis would include the History )f the /-rab V/orld, the. Ottomar and P e r s i a n E m p ir p ^ . The stu d y of Kiaiif^^al H isto ry of Europe during ^ ; md.d.dle ages would be taken up to the^ extent it is necesstiry' foj the understanding of tht Histoiy of Mcodieva. India in its proper pcrspect The department w^’l] special offortt: ensure that historieal TTision is not distorted by prejudices biSod on caste, creed or relig:’*'' ' or by other parochial considerations ‘in the study of History, vhilc enstiring tho scholar the fullest academic freedom in his approsch to the work undertaken by him.

The Committee is in agreement wit} the above proposals pi;t forward by the depfii*tment but would lik to emphasise again, that its efforts should as far as possible be corcentrated to the main area of stU(dy of Ifedieval Indian History and nooffort should be made to widen its activities in a thin way into many a*eas not directly connected wit' the main programmes of work,

Tho rosearch work done so far by tie department has resulted in publication of a large number of bocte aid monographs in Medieval Indian Hietoi^j^, Economic Histo.ry, Historical Geography, critical editions of historical texts, translatiois in English and Hindi, sevc ^ biographical- studies> works of reference and cultural history. Some annual reports have also been brought on excavation work done in tl: field of Archaeology, Modern Indian Hiptiry of Persia and (3entr-il Asia These acioount for over 85 public'itions. The niiirbGr of articles published in dif^’erent journals by the s'-aff since 1957 is 124, of wh-’.c'' 96 are published in Indian journals an:l ‘^he other 28 in foreign 1 ^>urna!I." The department .-*lso publishes Its own reiearch journal called ’Ifedievn" India Miscellaoy,

Before making specific recommendat.ons regarding the requirement of this dapar uiiienw i.n the n e x t f i v e to tai ;y ears with a view to function a» a Centre of Advanced Stuiy, 'he Committee would Id te to m ake t h e following observations:

( l ) The departm ent s h o u ld , as faJ' '^s p f s s i b l e , co ncentrate it? offr'^'^'. in the study of ^^^dieval Invdian History :,o, the pei'lod ranging fiom 8 0 0 to 1 8 0 0 A , D , w ith p a r t i c u l a r em.phasi^ on as lects of S o o ia,], ec^'n;’ir”? and cultural change. Studies should be rade also of those aspects of Central and West .A-sian history which have a special beriring on develop­ ments in India.

(g ) TThe programmes of t r a i n i n g and rest-irch to be tak en up shcnld be of an all-India natuj:'e so as to attract scholars from different univcr si ties to come to this department for specialized work. The scholar­ ships & fellowships in this centre shoiilc, thereff.Te, be widely publiciaed and selection -may be ma'e on ar all-India basis,

( 3 ) In order that the Centre would have the benefit of close association and also the advico of schol.aT’s and historians fro^. other universities, the Centre may appoint a sui.table Advisory Committoe, as is done by other centres of advanced soudy also* Such a Committee would help in periodically reviewing the programmes of work undertaken by it and advise on other academic and adninistrative matters relating to the functioning of the Centre,

The proposals relating to the requi'ements of the department to function os a Centro of Advanced Study were discussed. It wa5 agre:d that the enphasis should na,turally be on ieveloping a viable and active school of research by adding some academi! positions of a pe r m a n e n t nature as ’’■^T^ating staff*' of l''‘-r<7hips and fellowships

rv +■ -D Ir order to attract- good studenntts and scholars from different parts of tb^' country to come and worl et th.bee Centre. Tiae department shoiild also plan to organise short ierm co^ouurses, teacher training progrjimme etc, to mate its impact-felt in teaaaching of History in other universities . One of the requirements nentio.onned by the dep'^rtment relates to the additi )■ ral space requirements jarticnullarly with regard to provision for bett*;)r library and seminar rea'lng r.M'.>ooms, space f '^r additional staff members to be r e c r u it e d e t c .

Keeping in viiw t^ c g^rrowth of th.?} deppxtment in the next ' ive to ten years, the facilities aaU-ready avfiil'-ble and those approved as part of Fourth Plan Schfmes arinM the importance -of developing this depciTtment as an all-Imia cennttre for study of History, the Comjrittee r^coiTjnends that the f oil owing ^ f f a c i l i t i e s may be p ro v id ed by the U .G ,C .

Scheme for'the study of student prcG^®sa, achievements and utilisation of the University’products in relation to manpower requirements.

The- object of thfe sdht.ra43 is to make a' study on a continuing basis, career aspirations, ac£.dGmic performance, extra-curricular acti­ vities, achievements and attitudes of students from the date of admission during their entire ccadomic career. Such a systematic infor­ mation would help in making an overall appraisal of students personality development. This will also give the employers an insight into the qualities and qualifications of candidates for various positions. It is also proposed to follow»up car.er achievements and pattern of employment of university graduates, and thereby build up employment history of its alumni. Apart from keeping a liaison with the alumni, this will also assist the universities in detormining the emerging pattern of u tilisa tio n of educated manpower in the country. It will also enable the universities to judge, the extent to which various courses of studies command valuein the labour market, and indicate guide lines for adjustment of educational curricula In relation to job. requirement s of ^ployers* Incidentally, such a record woulCi provide excellent r-ady-mpde material for Sociological,psychological and educational studies.

The scheme shr.uld be split in two parts and undertaken by the universities in close collaboration with the Employment Bureaux,

Part It Each college or d^srtment will maintain an Index card for each student containing informr.tion of the type given below from th^ date of admission. This will be a permanent record of each student:

(i) Career aspirations. (ii) Academic performance. (iii) Extra-curricular activities - Debates, Sports, Dramatics, Hobbies, Union acti. vities, literary,* activities etc, etc. (iv.) Attitude, character, integrity, drive, enthusiasm, self*, reliance, capacity to do hard work, creative and aocial a b ilit ie s . (v) Vocational guidance rendered. (vi) itecord of cmoloymcnt/self-onployment, social and cultural distinctions and achievements,

2, The proforma for the proposed Student Index Card should be drafted in consultation with the UGC,, D*G,3.&.,T,, the Ministry of Education and

3, All affiliated and university collges and departments will at the time of admissions obtain information from the students admitted to various cpurses in tho card referred to above. The students will them­ selves fill up the card and as such no additional staff will be required,

4, These cards will be maintained by the Tutor/Tescher/Studont Advisor under the overall responsibility of the ^rr.ncipals,

5, h brief record of Guidance/Counselling, if any rendered to students by the U.E.I.G.B. will be passed on to tha Tutor/Teacher/ Student Advisor for record in the Student's Card.

6 , 1110 colleges will make available to the Bureau cards of students for perusal of employers as and when required*

7, After the final examination results are declared the Tutor Incharge wii incorporate the result in the card, complete all other relevant entries and pass on the cards to the placement/Liaison Officer or bureau in affiliating universities and to the Bureau in residential universities* A teacher is generally appointed by tho colleges to vAork as a Placement/Liaison Officer in co-ordination with U«E«I.G,Bs« in affiliating universitiesi

8, These carda will be maintained yepr—wise an<^ subject-wise» 9V These cards will be the permanent record of the alumni and w ill be kept uptodate as and when any information on employment status, charge in permanent address etc, is notified to the colleges,

10* Passed out students/pst-graduates from affiliating'collocps sei^king employment assistance wili bring to the Bureau from tho Tlace— ment/Licison Officcr in the colleges a copy of his Card*

11, The WDrk relating to maintenance of student progress card will be carried out in a phased prot?rainme sprer.d over a period of 5 years. To begin with ell postgraduates and technical students will be covort^d, and in the second stage 10% of the other manageable and useful colloges to be classified by tho UGC, By the end of five years all Collo^os/ Institutions should be covered by the scheme* Mi-vNrY WSii DlitECTLi^j^TE^MINISTRY OF H0M3 AirTI/^S

Role of universities In the task of co^ogclination o f education vrith iranoower roQulrc^ents.

1, The process of co-ordinating education with manpower require^ ments implies and involves two distinct steps; (a) an assessment of manpow.er requirements during a fi'ture period and (b) a restructuring of the educational and training pro£.rainmes designed to meet the anticipated needs,

2, These steps are vital for orderly progress and universities as seats of learning and leaders of though cannot afford to be indifferent to so vital a sector of national endefc.vour as the co-ordination of educetion with manpo'-ver requirements. But the specific role which the universities can play in ttismatter has to be decided in the context of the institutional frame-work that exists in the country for economic planning. The situation, naturally, differs from country to country. It is understood that in Chile supply and demand projections for selected groups of professional manpower have been made by the Universided de Chile, Many universities in the West function as centres of researdi on various manpower problems, many in U,S,A, frequently undertake studies and research projects on behalf of Government agencies and also mako it possible for members of their faculty to serve in Government for short terms. This elose collaboration between universities and Government in the field o f manpower research and studies has led not only to a cross- fertiliza tio n of ideas from which both Governrr»ert and the universities have benefited but alSo led to the growth of a weailth of expertise on manpower in the universities. A reference may be made in this connection to the National Manpower Council established in the Columbit; University in 1951, The Cbuncil consists of leaders in industry, labour, education and public services from all sections of the country whose primary concern is the proper ievelopioent of training, skills and capacities etc., of the people of U,S,A, The fact that the National Manpower Council is located in a University campus is indicative of the close inter**r«lationship that can develop between a university arid work in the manpo-.vsr field. In India the Universities have not so far been very active in the field of manpower planning and research and greater participation on the part of our univer­ sities in the process of manpower planning will be as step in the right direction. In order to facilitate such partj-cipation and to make it meaningful and purposive, we should attempt to identify those areas of manpower planning where the participation of un iversities w ill be most effective,

3, Manpower Ilanning(of >n4iich the co-ordination of manpower requirements with educational programmes i s a part) is an integral part of economic planning. It is neither practicable nor desirable to divorce the one from the other. Ciur ap-iroach during the past 15 year4 has been largely to derive manpower implications from an assumed future level of activity in various sectors. This approach has its limitations which arise mainly from (a) the fact thet it wjll not te correct to treat man­ power purely as a derived deman and (b) the fact that the object of educating and trainligg people is not confinad to making them useful members of the labour force. VVe have been award of these limitations but, despite these limitations, it has been, found thnt the "manpower approach” to educational planning has been generally found arie^;uat© In the fields of technical and pj.'ofessional education.

4* Before the first step in the process of co-ordinating educrtion with manpower requirements is taken the dimensions of activities in the various sectors of the economy during the target year should be known. Among the various inputs required for economic development, manpower needs probably the longest ”lea ’ time” , ’in the c?se of high level manpower the period of specialised education itself takes about 5 years; if we take the preceding period -of educational preparation, the period in quastion will be much longer,Even in the case of middle and lovier level manpower, the

p • t • Oa mechanics of Introducing new cjurses, expanding facilities etc, take time and the effective lead time for additional personnel will bo longer than the actual period of specialised training. Therafore the crux o f the problem o f making reliable manpower estimates i s the difficulty in getting a firm outline of the 9hq,pe and composition of the economy beyond the noxt five year period; but a firm enough basis for making estimates for periods beyond the next 5 years is usually not available. It is true that there are other methods of determining future manpower requirements, for example on the basis of extrapolating the trends in the past, assuming part between the rate of grov/th of the relevant sector of the economy and the rate of growth of the stock of manpower ate. It is doubtful l^wever whether these alter- native methods will give us more reliable estimates* Ve are making use of these alternate methods also to the extent possible even though our attempt continues to be one of deriving the manpower requiremcants from projected levels of activity. In our situation the projected level of activity will largely depend upon the nature and oontent of the relavont Five Year Plan,

5* My authority attempting the task of co-ordinating education with manpower requirements must know manpower requirements so much in advance that it can institute well in time the new kinds of courses that may be required, arrange for staff and produce the manpower requlreli so as to make i t available w h ^ the expected need m aterialises. The mechanics of co-ordination also require that, once the future demand is known, the co-ordinating agency would have the requisite authority and Influence to secure the. desired restructuring of the educational system. Our experience in India shows that, even with the wealth of information available with the Planning Commission, Central Ministries and other Governmental agencies, it is extramely difficult to estimate manpower requirements for the Fifth Plan even on a national basis; universities will therefore find this task equally If not more difficult. In fact they will be under a distinct disadvantage in their attempt to make estimates o f manpower requirements because manpower planning i s an integral part of economic planning* the organisation which formulates the mginpower plan should either he a part of, or be closely connooted with, the orsanisatlon formulating the economic plan of the country,

6, Thus, in :the matter of making national estimates of manpower requirements, universities may find that it will bo more useful to study methi:>dological and allied matters than thonselves attempt estima-es. As mentioned in para (1) above, the second step in the process of co­ ordinating education with manpower requirements 1 s to brlnp abj.ut appropriate changes in the educational structure for meeting the esti­ mated manpower demand. This aspect o f the concept o f co-ordination between education and man|k>wer requirements has both quantitative and qualitative aspects. Assuming that the task of estimating the man­ power requirements wil^ be performed by agencies other th ^ univorsltlefl, the university authorities will have be ore them the assessment made by other agencies spelling out, hopefully, in sufficient c’etall the occupational and educational characteristics of the ac’ditlonal labour . force required to be trained for meeting future manpower needs, Tho quantitative expansion of training facilities required for meeting expected manpower needs is the less d iffic u lt part o f the task. The extent to which the facilities are Increased quantitatively will depend upon the resources that are made ava.ilable , fbr this purpose In each Plan and also upon whether the requisite manpower for such e3q)ansion like teachers e tc ,, will be avai.lable,

7 , The more difficu lt task however is the infusion of the required quality ijitp the manpower that will emerre out of the training and edu— ’* catlonal programmes^So far as this aspect is concerned universities cein and should continue to play a very important part. The contents of the various courses; the refashioning of courses in order to meet tho challenge of changintj technolo^ry, etc., are taks which should receive the

p#t,o* LA

highest Consideration at the hcinds of universities. It is hoped that universlti<5s will devote more and more attention to this very vital and important task of constantly up-dating th<3 curricular contents of srarious courses and of continuously refashioning wherever necessary the various courses so that personnel undergoing such courses g'^t the requisite intellectual equipment to meet the? cpntemporary challenge,

8 , The effectiveness of manpower utilisation w ill depend to a great extent on the way in which members cf the labour force ar© exposed 1x> current developments in their fie,Ids of specialisation. This is specially true of engineers, technologists, scientists and medical specialists. It will be difficult for such personnel to keep themsolves abreast of latest developments in their fields through their own efforts; their individual efforts, which are nodoubt important, should be supplemented by regular refresher courses in colleges and Universities. The number who would stand to benefit from such courses would be very large and the institutions may not be able to cover all of them within a reasonably short period. Nevertheless it should be possible to make the facilities available on. a selective basis giving priority to key personnel who would benefit most from the courses,

9, In conjunction with or independ^t of such courses, facilities should be offered for persons in employment who desire to acquire additional knowledge which has been found necessary in the light of their experience in employment. For example, an engineer who desires to specialise in design work may find it necessary or useful to undergo an advanced course in Mathematics, A mathematician may find that knowledge of economics is essential for his work. It will not be possible for the universities or colleges to ascertain in advance the volume of demand for such courses and the detennination of the demand for such courjses should normally be the start'.ng point for any action on the part of tiEivarsities to design such courses. Some agency such as the manpower planning organisation or the users of manpower such as industry or Government can inform the universities that in the light of their experience they find that certain categories of personnel require specialised courses and in responso to this the universities may make those courses available. This pre-suppose that thejse w ill be a conscious evaluation on the part of employing agencies of the adequacy of their employees educational qualifi­ cations with reference to job requirem€Jnts and that, they are prepared to take the initiative and ap.Teach the universities for formulating special courses. There is no evidence that ^ y of tho major employing agencies whether in the public or private sector a’tr-prGSent conduct such an evaluation and therefor© at least for the preso^nt universities are not likely to obtain any indication from the major employing agencies as to the type of special courses which they should design and make available for personnel in employment. In the absence of such data the univei'sitles may have to make do, to the extent possible, with their own appreciation of the need for special courses. Her© there ?re obvious iifficulties for the universities in undertaking such a task. If a course is to be entirely employment oriented, then the obvious starting point should be an evaluation of the performance of existing incumbents. This can best be done, and perhaps can only be done by the employer and unless this is done and the results communicated to the universities, it would be inadvisable for them to take the initiative in organising special courses for personnel in employment. What the universities can, and perhaps should do is to stimulate and motivate the employers Into conducting the necessary evaluation and to assist thorn in the task so that further action can be taken for the formulation of courses for personnel in employment,

10, Nothwithstandlng difficulties in estimating manpower require— menls for the nation- as a whole^ it is worthwhile e>eijnining whether univexisities can play a useful though limited role in relation to the o -

eoonomic and manpower problems of the regions in v/h .ch they are located. A university can divide up its territorial jurisdiction axKing itself and the its constituent affiliated colleges so that a continuous study of atleast the more important categories of manpower can be carried out. This may help a university to find out the extent to which it is fulfilling regional needs. But, even at the regional or local love, the university of its constituent college will not find making estimates of manpower requirements easy. In an economy like ours, the nature and dimensions of investment, the availability of various inputs on which will depend the tonpo of oconoraic development, are seldom decided or ascertainable at the local level. It would, thertfore, be difficult for universities to assess the likely temix) of activity with any degree o f r e lia b ility . They may succeed in ascertaining fromt the existing units and the prospective enterpreneurs the likely deraand for manpower a future date. But as our ej^erience shows, the information thus received may eit er not be accurate or be Subject to numerous contingent circumstances ao as to render it almost useless as a basis for estimating manpower requirements* i»-nother difficulty arises from the fact that the products of univer.- sities have perhaps the highest degree of mobility amonc the variovs categories of manpower. The jurisdiction of an affiliated college or a university may be too small an area to be identified aS a distinct labour market. On the other hand, with regard to known projects or plans a university can play a very useful role. Thus it can help, local authorities considGEably in studying the manpower implications of the location of new Industry and su^esting policies such as would create an assistive skill-complex in the local population. Similarly, the manner in which the region should be developed in the future can also be studied,

11. Study of levels of productiv^fcy in various industries and among various units within the same industry and analysis of the oanpov/er composition in these industries and units are important elements in any programme of manpower planning. Manpower planning, should pay a lot more attention than it does at present to the level c£ the firm and to the corresponding level in agriculture; it is only when detailed analysis of productivity, skill- and occupational composition of labour force etc., are conducted at this level we can build up reMable national estimates of productivity, skill-compositlcn, etc., and of related matters in the different sectors of the economy. In the light of onr experience in manpower planning during the last 15 years, there is no cbubt that a firm and dependable basis for jnanix)wer planning can be built up only if detailed micro-analysis on i::roductivity, man- power«-mix etc, are conducted,Such studies would provide valuable data ref^arding the ratio between technical and non-technical personnel in various sectors and levels of employment, the proportion of various categories of manpower to toal employment in different sectors, the extent to which manpower availability has been affected by in*^nd out­ migration of personnel etc* It has not been possible to make such detailed analysis so far mainly because o,f the lack of an agency suffi­ ciently interested in conducting, and sufficiently aware of the impor­ tance of, such studies. The universities in the country with their wide network of affiliated colleges would be a very good tigency for under­ taking the types of studies mentioned above,

12, There is also a further range of problems connected with makinf^ reliable manpower estimetes on which very lit t le work i s being done by agencies who normally undertake the work of manpower forecasts. There is a need for an agency like a university to gtop into the breach and pursue those lines which have a reasearch orientation so that the cob-webs which at present blur the understandii^' and appreciation of the complexities involved in the process of making reliable manpower estimates may be removed. Particular reference may be made in this connection to the entire field of evolving a suitable methodology for making manpower forecasts* In this vital field ,u n iv ersities can and ^ould make a contribution which will be of immense assistance to manpower planners, Rose-rch into such problems i s b3.tng conducted by a number of universities abroad. The North Eastern University In Bostan, U.S.A. for exampla is currently enga.-ed in analysing the levels of proc-iuctlvity and occupational compgsiti'n of the labour force in idential industries in various countries* The project will analyse the data regarding productivity and occupationa compositicn of indsutries In selected countries at diffeienf lovels of aconomic development. The results ■=are cxp«ctod to identify the occupational composition required to achieve a given level of productivity,V/hon this information become available ior various industii'es in different countries passing through different stages of economic development,it may become possible for a deve..oping nation to solect the level of developnient of an industry in another country as a goal to be achieved in a future year and then us<^ the occupational dlstrib‘v'.tion of that industry in the other t.ountry for estimating the manpower requirements of that inciustrye This er:amplc o f one research project is indicative of a vast and fascinati^ field of research to which universities in India may like to rlovoto attantlon^

13. Another field where a lot of work re:’cLi:::?. to be done is in the matter of getting reliable information abou^; employment trends with regard to graduates of universities. The pGl*centa,'e o f yough in the age group 17 to 23 eni-olled in universities has risen from 1^273 in 1951 to 2 .3 % in 1963 and the number from ;j,32j,670 to 1 3 ,1 8 ,4 3 0 during the same period.By the end of the Fourth ">lan the percenta g is expected to rise to 2,6%. There are also significant changes in the pattern of enrolment of students in high^jr education as rjill bo seen from the statement at appendicesr I.I Ij a n d ITT. These changes are to some extent due to the tremendous dejnand for edi’.cational facilities that is building up in tho country? this is not solely attributable to th© nr-eds of economic development. If tho ur^iversitifcs are able to build up reliable statistics re^rarding the employment history of their alumni, it should be possible to dtjtermine fron time t-^ time the or\erging pattern of u tilisa tio n o f educated manpower .In tlie courtry, which w ill throw valuable g:uideli;nes for action lor manpower and educational plftnners. The regular flov* of irfo:rinatir>n in this ■^‘©rard would serve as an "early warning system" identifyinfe the manpo^’er catcgorias which the economy is finding difficult to abisovb^ Sach university and each college shou’ d arrange for a continuot’s flow of information regarding (a) the numbar of students who hav3 found jobs within one year of graduation either by diiect jiielsrfLon or through oompetitive examination, (b) the number of students a'Kc have found jobs after gecur- ing additional skills outside tirIvoi sity/f;cllGge, and (c) the number still unemployed in each graduate co.tegorVc The figuros regarding the employed can be further split upinto (a)solf-smployed, (b) those employed by Government (in eluding scml-[5ove^rjnontal or local bodiss)^ (c) those employed In public enterprases arl (U) there employed in pri­ vate enterprises* This flow of information woiId not only assist the manpower planners but also enable ths^ anlv^rsitlfts to judge tho extent to which the various kinds of education comi’>and value in the labour market. It is likely that univorslties ir*ay Cir^oavor as a result the need for starting new courses.

14. The universities come into contact with students in ths3 for­ mative stages of their life. They not only go through the prescribed syllabus but also acquire the intellectual cq.tipmcnt with which they face the problems of life* It should be the function of the university to assist them by eivin*v advice rc^’ar^lng .likely job opportunities in various fields, prospects for further education, oto^ In many univer­ sities employment guidance and empioyucnt information buraux are already functioning and thero is a need for istreugthGniiig th6 existing arrange­ ments so that tho student gets e'^^ei^y opportunity to find a career which is best suited to his ability and aplitutde,

15. The implementation of the plan'pro jec;tn and the rate of progress of our development will depend to a gi-cat r-xtt-nt upon the efficiency and ability of the h i^ levol and Tildd.Ls lev^!. manpo'er and also upon the sense of dedication and commitment to' the programmes which they are called upon to implement. Curing the last 15 years facilities for technical and professional e-lucation h^vc be*''n increased quite considerably. Even in the field of technical education, there are certain sectors like designing and research which aXe of great importance nc5t only for the purpose of formulating and tmplementinc the project of various Pl.ans but al&o for the-long term purpose of achieving self-reliance in the matter of industrial development. Sufficient attention has to bo paid to the development of in these fields which are ci’uc^ial for our progress,

16, The Universities and collep-es are among the important users of high level manpower and instances of some o f the acute shortages of manpower are to bo found in the colleges and univer­ sities. For example, the curreiit shorta^-e of teachers in medical colleges is estimated at about 4,000 and in the,Engineering Colleges and Polytechnics at about 4,000 (including aboutl, 000 readily ascertainable from any central aiency; there is also no agency which is in a position to give us estimates of demand of Fourth and Fifty Plans. This confctitutes an example of the insufficient attention that has been paid to the manpower problems of u-iiversities and colleges and, at the same time, illustrates an area of manpower planning where univarsities and colleges have to be clasFified and analysed so as to identify reasons for shortages and devise measures for ovc^rcoming tho shortages. At the same time estimates of future requirements should also be made so,* that advance action for recruitment etc#, can be takon. The problem i§ not merely one of estimatinfe' the demand in terms of numbers but it is also one of securing for universities personnel of very high calibre, Hiese problems should receive continuing attention at the hands of the universities^

17, The need for closer liaison between universities and industries has been accepted and enphasised from time to time but as yet the link-between these two'is somethwat tenuous and weak. Even though pre­ paration for employment is not the sole objective o f educati'n, it is one of the main objective and universitle£ will succeod in the task of preparing personnel for employment only i f they are in constant toLich with industries and other mai.n users of manpower. While the existing arrangements for liaison between universities and industries should be fully utilised the arrangement could be further strengthened on the following lines:

(i) The system of cooperative- courses under which a student wjii obtain practical experience by actually working in an industry for specifiied,period should be extended to as many fields of technical education as possible;

(ii) The industry should appric^e the maversities of the extent to which their graduates posces the skill and ability required by the jobs in theindustry. This will enable the universities to judge whether the deficiency pointed out is a general cno capable of rectification by suitable modi­ fication in the programme of training»and

( i i i ) At the level of teachers, there should be an inter-cljange of personnel between industry and universities. This will not only facilitate better communication between the industry and universities but aiso help improve tho quality of persons who come under the oxchanj^e programme,

18, After the identification of the areas where Universities can participate in the process of coordinating education with manpower requirements, careful though shc^uld be given to the actual mechanics for faciliting such participation.The '^niversities in the country do not conform to a single pattern. A number of them are primarily oxariining and affiliating agencies and they may nave orly a comparatively small faculty which may not be al)le toundertake additional -work with the existing personnel, The type of work which we envisage for universities and coilef:es would require additional staff and expenditure. We do not have at* present a pool of university or college staff who can be utilised for the work in the manpov/er field without deteriment to th^ir regular work of teaching, etc. One possi ility of course is to make use of the staff during vac0,tlon periods. The success of such an arrangement would depend upon the extent to which the teachers In Universities and colleges would be prepared to forego their vacation. Another related qu»^stion that would need an answer is whether the universities should do the work in the manpower field as part of their proc amme o f research or whether they should do it at the request of '’Clients’*, be it the State Government, Central Government or a private firm. It is likely that, unless a body of ’’Clients” comes into e xistence which requires the type of manpower information and studies that the Universities can provide, any effort on the part of universities to enter the field of manpower study and research in a big way is bound to languish on account of insufficient encouragement aiid funds* There are of course certain areas lik e studying the manpower problems of univer­ sities and Colleges and compiling of information regarding the utilisation of f?raduates which universities should undertake as part of their normal work irrespective of whether another agency is prepared to finance it or not.

Strengthening of the University anployment Information and Guidance Bureaux,

At the l a s t mi-etlng of the Coinmlttee on' Co-ordination of University Education with Manpov.*er Requirement held in the U^G.C, on the 10th December,1965 it was ,agr d that the University Employment Informetlon and Guidance Bureaux, if they are to reildor real service and i f they are to supply a real picture of empioymGut prospects to university alumni should be adequately equiped and strengthened. The Comnilttee a'ocoimnended that a few of the existing Bur^^aux should bo strengtlir ned for this purpose, on^ Bureaux in each zone of the C-untry,. The Committee of the Bureaux, Standing Committee of tl«3 Inter-University Board, Working Groups of the National Employment Service as also by the first o f all India Sfminar on University Employment Infor­ mation and Guidance Bureaux held at Bannras in January,1964 that the Bureaux may be strengthened by upgrading the posts of Assistant Employment Officer to that of Sub-Regional Employment C ffle er. It has also been suggested that additional staff such as junior investigator , should be provided for collection, compilation and indexing of occu­ pational and other information of Interest for the students, Tuose proposals «ould be taken up as circumstances improvo. To begin with it is proposed to give effect to the recomm ndations f the Committee on Co-ordination of University Education with Manpower R^^quirements for stfengtbeninga few Bureaux on zonal basis. It is, therefore, proposed, that six of the existing 36 Bureaux may be provided with staff as specified bolowj

Su bregio nal Employment Officer 1 Assistant Employment '"^ffleers 2 Junior Investigators 2 Artist 1 Stono-Typists 1 Cltjrks , , 2 Peons 2

These Bureaux should be charged with the responsibility for collecting detailed information, ODnducting special research and man­ power studies on demand andi supply in one or more fields of the following types:

1, Engineering and Technology 2, Science including Medicine and Agriculture 3, Social Sciences 4i Administrative, Executive and Managerial Services 5# Higher Studies in India and gbroad •. 64 Scholarships/fellowships, Travel Grants and other educational financial assistance proerammes,

- ' ' In addition to tho existing functions theso .Bjreau-x will perform the following additional functl'ns:-

(1) to conduct continuous researjch, investigations and studies relating to one or more field s specified abc'Ve;

(ii) to collect, disseminate and feed other Bureaux with occu­ pational and career information required for vocational guidance'an-d job orientation.

(ill) to arrange seminars on occupational, Information and employ­ ment problems of university students and other related mattc?rs}

(iv) to publish carcer Information Bulletins} (v) to explore opportunities for creation of full time and part time employment for s-t^^entg.-y , covering, to start with , 100 per cent of postgraduates, technici-. graduates and first and second class honours graduates. The IJGC may recommend the scheme as indicated in Annexure I to universities an inodif ieationBo to meet local conditions ajand their particular research interests,

3, The panel emphasised the necessity of studying the manpower reG''Uir< ment of self employinpr agencies and felt that studies should be utad^cler- iaken into the empi(lyinant pattern of Small establishments. The numlbejer o f self-employed persons need to be taken into consideration in prepari^infc any pro.lections for manpower requirement. The panel noted that thi s s suggestion would be taken into consideraton while revising the N otlf fid­ eation of Vacancios Act.

4, The panel was of the view that universities have a distinct roI>l o t< play in the assessmen of future manpower requirements and in the sliiiapinj of educational and training programmes designed to meet anticipated needs, in many western countries close collaboration between the uniivor- sities and the government in the field of manpower research and studiiios had led Dt only to a cross-fertilizatioh of ideas from which both fp-ovorn- ment and the universities have benefited, but also the growth of a w^vealtl of expertise on manpower in the universities. This expertise may bc3 developed in our universities also, if their services are properly hihar- nessed to the organisation and developittent of manpower research.The Universities and particulirly their departments of social scienco coould | contribute a great deal, both inobtaining data, which is vitally reqquirec for calculating manpower resources and future requirements, as algo jin th development of a methodlology of manpower research, A paper prepared! in | this connection by the Manpower Directorate of the Ministry of Home Affairs, given in Annexure II, was oonsidored helpful and it was sagrjC©ste that this may be circulated to the universities for consideration, I

5, Such studies would provide an opportunity for relating academicc | work to actual living problems.It would also engage universities actlivelyl in furthering the careers of their students, which may help to arrfstt i the dangerous process of alienation between the senior and junior memmbor!^ of the universities which faces us today. Lastly the development of nman^ | power research in the universities, would automatically contribute too the| development of our social sciences. j ij

6, A suggestion was mrde that, at least in the initial stages^ succh | studies may be undertaken within a general framework, Tlie panel agreees | with the suggestion that an Advisory Committee may b? constituted at the ‘ centre preferably under the UGC with representatives of the Ministryy of | Education, the U.G.C, , the Manpower Directorate and the D .G .E . &,,T^, ana including eminent economists and sociologists to advise untveraitios on mant:)Ower atudlos. This Committee could formulate a framework and sufTP:?est topics for research. The presence of academicians would ensure thatt the| topics are framed in such a way that they could form a part of the j academic programme of the universities.

* Universities may be requested to recommend the sugs^est ionii of tl:hl b Comm.ittee to their research boards. With a view to encouraging an Initer-*' disciplinary approach to such studies, universities may constitute a stud^ f.-roup with the representatives of the various departments and resaarcih boards, to discuss and organise the programmes recommended by the Aiv/isor-' Committee, An alternative arrangement would be to strengthen the exitstlnf Advisory Committees of the university employment bureaux with represernt*- atives of the research boards of vari'us faculties for providing a certain amount of guidance to the departments and the employment burceauji At p r e s e n t ther©^ i s particular coll i n the &. T> to doal w it h the work relating to the University Ernployinent InformatiDn s. d Guldetnco Bureaux, For evaluation, plarjiing and coordination of work of the Various Bureaux it i s proposed to set up a separate cell at t h i s Directorate with the following functionei— «- CD to evalmtion and provide consultation services to the BureaUxj

( i i ) to (fsaordlnate r ?S3arch studies of vari.ouo Bureaux*

In the last meeting of the Panel held on 30^3ol966 a note on strengthening a few UFlGOs on zonal basis was placed for its consideration.

'[ At the saiTie time it should be noted that the enrolment in sejtreral M.A, courses i s much too anall and it is imrportant for the'University, in order to make an effective u-so of Its resources, to select after careful consideration(and taking into account the facjllities available in the neighbouring universities) a relatively small numbar of subjects and con­ centrate available Qffort on this*"

Thus looking to tho enrolment of students, availability of quali­ fied and experibnced teachers at the above oolleg^eeand without additional finarclal burden, the Department which is not a viable unit in the University would become so, if the teaching pf the above subjects is transferred to the above colleges.

The matter is placed before the Commission for consideration.

"t’he yniveruity Grp.nts Conn-.inGloi^ at itn meeting held on the Gth March, 1963 considered a proposal from the Danaras Hindu University to chang;© the designation of Instructors to Associate Lecturers in faculties other than Engineering & Technology and to revise their scale of pay from ?s«200“ 450 to Rs,300-560, The Commis­ sion did not agree to the proposal for revision of the scale of pay but agreed to tho proposed chango in the designation if the Univer­ sity so desired. Subsoquontly, the University came up with a pro­ posal of up-grading the posts of Instructors/Tutors in th© various Colloges of the University to thoso of Associate Lecturers and Lec­ turers, The proposal was considered by the Commission at its meeting held on the 7th October, 1964Jvide item No,15(i)5 and <»cprossed its inability to accept it during the Third rian period and desired that this may be taken up during the Fourth Plan,

2, The Banaras Hindu University has now suggested that grades of Instructors in tho College of Music and Fine Arts be re­ vised as detailed below:

i) tho presont cadrc of Instructors be replaced by that of Associate Lecturer in the grade of fe,350~25-'500-30-650. The qualification for appointment to such posts ordi­ narily bo a post-graduate diploma, or Degree in the subject as essential and Matriculation or its equivalent ar: desirable qualif ic^^ticr _

H i ) Instructors who have post-graduate qualifications in their own subject and are at least Graduate in other ‘ subjects bo given personal grade of Lecturer without having the.-five years teaching e:

The CoiTunission at its meefcin:!; nold m 6th March 1968 (Item -8; considcrod the request of f.he ^’’atna University for giving assistance for r.,vision of the salaries of teachers .-.^iXjintod against tho created after the iin’pleinentation of the sdicme and dasirod that tht proposal be further examined and the matter be brought again at a later meeting.

In this connection the following tacts are stated:

i) The 4.'atna University introduced Lhe revised scales for it> teachers w.e.f. 1.7,1964, but dil not furnish the pay fix­ ation and disbursement statements ins)ite of repeated requests and went on receiving ' *n account' grants from the Commission. It was only in Jm e 1967 that the disburscmer.t statements were received from th' University, .^hllfc going through the statements it was llscovered that the Univeislty had also claimed assistance for -'evision of the salaries of the teachers who were apixiintxl against posts cr(?a' after the introduction of the rc-rised scales.

li> In the meantime the Commission c>nsidered the request of the University for assistances, under the scht.3ne to tho;;c teachers who were ap ointed directly in the r e v i s e d scales after the Implcv^mentation of tho scheme and deoidetl that ’*all new posts created after the iniiilementation of the revised scales should be in th row scales of p«i^y" • (Rosol : i -.^n No, 17 d ated 5,10 9H3).

i l l ) The above decision of the Commission was not communicatGd to all the Universities since, rring a few cases the period of Commissi >n's asBlstauc. liad ended v/,e.f« 3 1 . 3 ,1 6. This decision was, however, brou^:ht to the notice of the i^^tna University which in reply stated that ’’sint^e this c o n d i t i o n was not known at the time of the Implementation of the scheme, no provision was made in the University budget to cover the additional expenditure. Thus this will not only create a financial difficulty lor the University but also a technical difficulty".

Iv) Similar requests wore received from the Universities of Bombay and Baroda also. These were not accepted in view of Commission’s decision referred to in para (ii) above. Such requests have not been r e c e l v o d from any other University.

v) 31 nee Coiianission's assistance in the case of moat of the • Universities has ceased w,» .f» 31.3.1968, i- is felt ' if the request of the t^atna University is accepted at this stage, it may lead to the reopening of the issue in other I'nlversitloB as well.

The matter is placed b.,fore the Commi=ision for consideration. Meeting I

8*05 The CoinTnittt.ee appreciated the kjeness of the Departments to achieve all roi’ud ddefvelopnent in all spotlDlities slmulifeaneouslj but would like to that too many fepoc.alisatlons and rapid scphisti* cations may not rees?ult in a top-heavy superstructure before a #olid foundation is laid,, based on strong furidimentals*

Tbe Committt;ee was of the opinloi that a perlodlGe,! review of the prepress m.add©' by the Institute shculd be made from time to time and the ®«xt revleew? should be undertakei after two years.

P*t*0( 8^06 The Commi:tee felt it desirable fo;or* the Institute to intro^ duoe a three year iegree cjourse with ar.y thhr*9e siibjects (Honours In one) of the basic ledical sciences:, Thie coX)urbq oould be open to candl*- dates after their ligher reccndary eKajninatitton (with Biology group) on the basis of m^lt^ Tbo syllabus c u rrlac u la e t c ,, oould be drawn in such a wey that the first two years of t tl'ie course could be similar to that of the flist with a little.e mere d^pth L.nd elaboration and the third yeai could be for soociaXisafct^tc n Civonours'■» The third year of the course could as well b3 open ^ to canrlidatoD after passing their first or after the final exfanination for specialisation iti ona (lianours) of the basfeltlth the groups (medical and non*-medloal) coul( proceed to furt2ier r^t5idjii*es leadlnp, to Mo Sc, of tvwD years duratioi and beyond (D.Phil) ii- M heir respective special i salt Ion,5

In the Wistern countries It i s not)t urnusii^t to see scholars taking a year off after passing pre—clisa: cfce. 1 subjects for specialisation in one or the otier for the award of a 3eec;helor degreo(Hon s») in Physiology, Anatciy or Biochemistry etca

Diversit’ cf qualifications, dive-erf^lty of opportunities and diversity of stanlard of education wouTtl ^ long way to i^jrevent a large Irflur of students pcpulation to tai y particular line of studl*es which unfortv.natay is the case today,

8,07 At preseit there are about 91 rnedd^ c^l colleges functioning in India, many of them are insufficiently equipped, understaffed and poorly manned horaitals* The total defloieer»cy in staff was of the order of 45,2% ir 1962^ the pre-clinical d do pert men ts accounting for a major proportion, ITie Institute of Baoic R'Vedical Science!=i could play a significant rol3 not only in meeting thee shortage but also in the creation of a prq>eT research and acaderniac atmDEphero along with the main stream of Himanities and Sciencose TpTaking into account the practice follower ii many advanced countrl’iaa in Europe and America, there is no reascn vhy graduates who have i specialised in basic medical scteroes should not be recognisedd as teachers in medical collegese 'Hiese ?re the persons v;bo could i iman the various academic and researdi ass^gn-nents not only in Medidcal colleges but elsewhere as well aod ccntiibate largely to the advevamcement of higher learning and research,

8*08 The Comtlttee felt that although 1 the Institute was establlshied as early as in 1160, the pace of progress ^ tias been rather siov/o Lack of physical faciities, absence of dynamidc leadership were perhaps the coirtributing factors.

8,09 For the proper development of thihe Instituts, the Committee would recommend he followlngt*-

The Jadavpur UJniiiversity h a s for\varc3d a proposal for a .-rant of lis, 1 , 38,000/— for comiphlGt ion o f a building for the post-graduate department of CheinisrtKry f o r setting up a laboratory for Radic Cheraistry and for carrying on reosoarch work in vari'Us branches of Chcnistry requiring the use of rradioactive tracers .nd for regular training and instruction of p«os>stgraduate students n radio tracer methods and techniques.

The University s started the construcion of a separate two storoyed building foir this purpose in Itscampus with on«. wirg to house; an auditorium \wilt h a total bui Lt uparoa of 13,000 sq.ft. for two floors. The Unlweeroity received an e.dowmont of i;s,2 ,32,COO/- for the construction of 1thhe said buil ’ing.

Hoie to paucity oof funds the- UniverEjty decided to build up one floor only in the flirset instanco IncluJlni a lecture hall at the first floor v/ith a total ar’eaoa of 8,900 sq.ft.

The buildin?^ isB i now In , '’ogrGss and the University has found that for constructiom ( of -i minimum area fa oommissionint the bulldinp (including services),, the total cost con £ to 1^,3,7 0^000/-(i.s, Es,3|OOj000/- for comp)l(letlon f the ground f loor and Ks, 70,000/- for construction of a lec^titurc hall in th * fir^ floor). The endovmcnt fund of Rs, 2 ,32,00Cy- ids n .t sufficient to ^orr lete the bulldiig, and the university have mo > funds to meet the alditional cost. The University has, therofcfore, sought an additional grant of IJs,I,38,000 from the Commissirn t o ) cnabl::- it to com: It o the building.

In this connect.icion, it may be statedthat the Fourth ^ Ian Visiting Committee apipciointed by thf^ Couiwlsiiun for assessing the needi^ of the University for ddevelopment of hlghe' education visited the University in July 19»677 recommended a gran of fo«2 lakhs for national­ isation of space in a.Ill □cience Departments including fittings £ind furniture and this ha;s ; been agreed to In tx Fourth Plan allocation made to this Univorsl tyy.

As liesirod I visited the New>3»cl;ienceCoxiego, Hyderabad on the 17th Jajiuary, 1967, The College aut-hcioritics have made certain changes in the Plan of the laboratory biildiinfig we had approved. The approved plan for atwo storeyed biii'lidiiing ccntaine4 on th3 grourid floor, an Assembly Hall v/hich was outside, tihae scop of ouir assistance. We were committed to assist the <:c0n*itrmettion cf the two laboratories and some rooms for teachers stores e t c ,, con the ground floor and library, roadinB rooms,reference room, 4 laboira'atorics, 2 museums etc*, oh tho first floor, at a total, cos t. of, Ra,2i,36,00c/- with the U,G,C, share liTttit&d to R s ,1,57,333A- .

It was escplained by tho Princiippal arJ the Chairman of the Governing Body that the college a‘t that time hVadid oxpojtation of obtaining more land for tho college from the contiguous e!st?iatfe .of the Nizam, This effort proved to be unsuccessful and the coJll lege f)und itself confined in a trianr^lar plot of land, surroui^de’d *l*by)y busy roads on all sides, with no possibility of expansion in the fiutiture^ Unce enroliiient was increasing steadily, the collego' authorities deccidded b make provision for a larger building by claying deeper foundation's ; than ;hey had originally planned, Tho Principal explained that this hacd i not ben done when ttie colle;>:e constructed its first building, with t the remit that it was iX)t possible to add further storeys to tliat blocker Following the advice of the Dean of the Faculty of i‘3cience of the Osmeannia Unversity, the College decided tc abandon the construction oaff the iSsemblyHall and accommodate the laboratories which were originalllyy plarned fcir another wing of the building, in the Space allotted ifoor the Assembly Hall*

The College, Ikxb since its inceepption, been housed in some shads originally occupied by the P*W,D, wrrkkahop* The walls of these sheds were found to be 4^* thick. In view oof tho land problem facing tha college^ it was decided to make the vwaalls o the new building comparatively thinner. Since the measurements for tthe bu.lding were taken when the old walls of tlie sheds were still staanmding, this decision rosulteJ in the addition of more aroa to the builldding* *part from these change;;, the col logo has also added a mezaninoj floor to house the museums and added area to the rooms on both the g^oround ind che first floors, Hie result is an increar.e of 6,021 sq,ft|t in th« total area of the building, even v/ithout constructing tho wing co'jnntainiig the Physics Laboratories on the ground floor. The accommodatio)nn whic this wing was to provide has, however, been provided in tho spmace or glnally allotted for tHe Assembly Hall, The College intends ttoo makeuse of the small plot of land which it has saved by these adjustmemtts for the construction of a ment car park, a canteen and a canteemn and i common room for the students.

The expansion in the £irea, addejdd to tie rise in construction costs has resulted in an increase of expendiitture :ar beyond the original ostimafce of Rs*2,36,000/- The autliorii t:ties nw Realise that their action in modifying the plan v/ithout iiintima ion to the U ,G ,C , was irregular. Their major argument in jiu a stifia tio n is that those changes were necessary in the long term inter'oQSts oi tho college.

The quality and ©nthusiasm of tthcio stalt, and tho academic atmosphere and discipline in tho oolliepge weio notod to bo impressive* I was also given to understand that tbheie tcacJiers have a major 1 ifluence in tho governing body of the college,. 1 The Psincipal and other members of the staff appear to bo per sons of somqo j visioi and energy,

I suggested to the I-'rincipal thiatit a ocnplete expansion of the change# aade by the college in the apoprjroved plan, with the reasons for tlie same should bo sent to the Commissioni 1 for e>amination. These have now boon received and are appended. Docision has tD bo taken on the fo]il(Lowing points;

(a) Whether the c o l l e g e s action Im ircevising the plan without prior sanction of the U,G^C, ima:ay be approved, i view of the reasons stated by the oolUepgce,

(b.) If the revised plans are apprrovve»d then whether the UGC , share of assistance may be de'teernniiflsd on one of the following tasisS

We express ouur sincere regress for the deviations from tha original approved pUaan s and we earnestly request you to ratify tha same, bohsidoring the diftfiioulties the college was faced with. It lias l)een a lapse on our part ntiot to have kept the Commission informed of tJie same in time. The dGVialtiioms have been of the following naturet*«

2) The flooir ; airea c f the two P h y sics Department Laboratories on the ground floor anmd two Zoology and tw Botany laboratories on the first floor have beena iprovided for in the Assembly Hall, onthe Grouiid fl6or„ This deviatlonn became necessary because of enormous increase in the cost of consttrru^ction and particularly that the Assembly Hall was not included foir {assistance by the University Grants Commission, It was also strongljv : f=olt by us and Dr,N*V,Subba Rao, Dean Faculty of Osmania Uthi.iversity, I^derabad that this space could be better utilised to accc

Consequently an Adh7/-apaka whoso anniversar;^^ date e of incjeinent in the old scale fe ll shortly aftf^r 1 ,4 .6 3 , sociircd i t]he b-?nefit of one fall increment in the reviaod scale in addition to o tne be:)efit of the fixation at tha n-^xcr, hi^^her stage on 1 .4 .6 6 , .

The revised method of fiflxatlon prescribed in yo\ir letter No.F.50“ 7/66(CU) dated S 7,12.66, ho\owteiaer, iebars an Adhyapaka to draw any increment in the revised SQc.ale wl'iiin one year from the date of fixation. In consequence oiof this jhange, the Adhyapakns whose pay wore alref’dy fixed in acccoordarce v/ith yorr previous oi-ders dated E7th Muy, 1966 and alldoived to draw another increment in the old acale, aa’e now required ' t.o refmd thn aiaount of increment drawn within one year from the date e of fixition, Hiese Adhyapakas have reprepentod that the increments werere= drewn by them in good faith and perfectly in acaordanot with the orcrders of the CoFimlssion. If the Commission has subsequently decided d to revise the method of fixation, the revised iwtliod ra£^' be given efftfeict to I'rom the date of issue t>f the revised orders as is usually done bjby Go^enment in all cases. In other words, they have sought for piprotectim where their interest is ad^'orsely affected under the revnvlsed method of fixation. The least they expect is that recovery r o)f the Increments overdrawn in good faith under the previous orcrdlers, siould be waived wliile giving effect to the revised methodd of flxitlon Inasmuch as rerrovery at this stage will cause them undue e hardahLp for no fault of their own

The Uni.versity is of thihe opiniDn that their ai*gument has a great force and their stand a.al.so, pediaps, legally correct inasmuch as the so-called overpaymeaemt wes not due to any misinter­ pretation of the order or error of ^ calcvlotion, It is, therefore, recommended strong'Iy that recovery : In aujh cases may be ordered to be waived. The approval of the CoiriHmmlssion may Mndly be comniunicated as early as possible. Meeting:

In lieu, however, of tkhet, provision may be made for ancillary rooms '^(hich r be used by tho according to their need?dt."

The Comnlsaion, howevir, desired that t the area for the Vice-Chancellor's houue bo about ho same as for a profit esSor’s house with provision for an office unit for which a bullt~un aaiea of ^50 sq*ft* may be allowed, m Tlie Governinent of India,i, Ministry of Education have pointe teaching staff in the l*I*Ts j is attached as iti*r;exnja^© II* Gove?enmcnt of India have suggested ^ that the 13,G*C, may ‘eview its norms li " he light of the changes made by the Government as the scales' sanctitlmad by the Commission have a direct bearing on Co^^tral Governmont r^Bourcee.

To consider a roference from ths Government of India, ylinistry of Education for the recognilioi of Associateship of Docu­ mentation Research and Trairin^ Centre as equivalent to the degree of Master of Library Sctsnce,

The Government o f India, Ministry of Education had sent a piopocal from the Documentation Research and Training C m t r e , Bangalore for the- recog­ nition of its associateship as equivalent to M a s t e r Degree in library Science awarded by Indian Universities, for the views of the University Grants Commission,

The Documentation Research and Train:ng Centre, Bangalore wgs established In 1962 as a division of the Indian Statistical Institute, Calcutta to (i) organise continuing roseaich in documentationj (11) train documentalists In the methods of research documentation and (11) give a a>urse of training to documentalists for sertdce within tte country and also to extend this facility to the documentalists in other ciuntrles, particularly In the fast developing Afrc-4^ian countries. The coirse is of one and a h£ilf years duration. The objectives and provlsljns of the iissociateship of the Documentation Besiarcli and Training Cent o are stated to lie based on the reconmGndatiors >f the University Grants Ccawlsslon Committee for Master *s Degree ourse in Library Selene^' and on the present practice In the University of >elhl for M*Llb,Science Course, k comparative idea of the Associateship jf the Documentation Rese?.rch and Training Centre cind ^lastor ot Library Science course is indlc^ited in the /tonexure.

The Standing Committee of the Inter-Uilverslty Board of Indie and Ceylon to wh-m the matter was referred considered this matter on ^8th February, 1967 and adopted the following rcsolutionj

’’Going by the evidence placed before it, the Committee felt that while the Aasoclateslvip of Documentation Rwfiearch and Ti'aini’^g Centre was, no doubt different In cmpiasis and coverage from the Master's degree in Library Scloncej f»r purpcjsescf employmv^nl the two can be equated, to the extent tha^ this qualification maf l>e suitable for specialists, partlcui arl-^ In Libi’arles, deal inn with Pocumentatloii”.

It may however be added that the DocJmtnta tlon Centre is not ?. uni­ versity department and Its ©qulvalence? with the Master of Library Science Course for the purpose of employment in non-university section Is a matter for the GS,C* The universities cf^uld consider the advice cf the Inter—Unlverslty Board for employment of the trained diploma holdeis according to the equivalence they could decide to give.

The matter is placed before the Commission for consideration. Comparative Study of the Associeteship of D .R .T ^C , and Master of Library Sciende Course.

Item No, 31 : To co)n£isidGr the question cf >roviding assistance to the univors^sities for inter-disciplinary research in education,

The Commission a at its meeting held oi 4th October 1967 gen$ijally agreed with the recjoiDmmendatioris of the Sub-Committee of the Standing Committee on Higher^ I Education on developmeit of teacher education in the Fourth i'lan, Kt was also agreed that in allocation of Ks*10 Ickhs be provided for thi.ss scheme in the current year's budget of the Commission on the understandinig j that the Ministry cf iducation will provide adequate funds for impIbment.iring the scheme during tie rest of the Plan period,

A working groiupp consisting of Shri J Naik, Prof, ^,K, ao:f and Di’ , J .N, Kaul was s^etit up to formulate critjria for selecting universi­ ties for setting upi £ Schools of Educatior. aid for selecting a few post­ graduate Teabhors' GColloges for limited asjistance during the curjent year.

The working gjrc'oup made the following recommendations:-

(i ) The Univ'er.*rsitios of Delhi (Ccnt'al Institute of Educat-on), Allahabavd ,1, ^'oona and Visva-Bhariti may be Invited in tie first imotitance to set up Schooli of Education as envisaged by the Eldiiucation Commission,

(ii) The UniV'eRisitios of Bombay and 4;\dras which have outstanding departinGintits in Sciences and Social S<^lenceB may be helj^ed to eotabililish the departments of Education under the sc)ieme',

(iii) (a) *^rof * . M,N, Srinivas (Delhi Tniversity)| (b) Shri AitHitta (Calcutt.a I University), (c) Prof. M.V, Mathur (Vice-Chancellor, Rajastham 1 University)^ (d) Prof, M .S. Gore (Tata Insti:ute of Gociail I Sciences), and (e) ^r’f. B,3* Rat) of Andhra Unlvorsi tyy may be assisted to iiitiate research projec.s on educaitilon on an inter-disci pi nary basis,

(iv) Selected! f nojstgraduate Teachers * Co lieges may be^ invited to Se^with the scheme fo' the development of graduate; c colleges for improvemeit of standards. The ceiling por coll'eg?ge could be Rs,2,5 lakhr.

The Comniissiom i considered the report of the Working Group and accepted the recoiiamen'ndations regarding proiotion of inter-disciplinary research tn oducatitoDn In some selected universities. It vAs desired that other r^comm^'mdelatlQns of the roiX)rt miy be placod before the Commission later vhienm the budgetary posltim was known.

The Governrnenit u of India has provided only Ks,ll crores for Plan projects against Co)mmimission’ s estimates of Es, 14,82 crores and 8s.50 lakhs for students’ welfa ro"© schemes. It would tierefore appear that the Government has not apigrGed to make any pjx>v.sion for new schemes o'-her than students’ v/elf arire during 1968-69,

The matter is; i placed before the Ccrrun.ssion for considoration.

MADURiUi3I UNIVERSITY AIX INDIA INOF JVlATHmTlCS FOR TAKLIB^TEP UNDERGiiAPUA^^

M/l/JDURAl^ .1967 . f : ■ ‘

It i s we 1X known the )U,G,C, has b^eii for fSoine years now organising (in cooperatiODn^ with, the ,(N,G*2,R,r,, II^ID, NSF) summer schools for teachurs in sGCthools and collefc^^s.

In cjbnsoiance withh theidea that s measure of our educational progr.ess is the level of eatttaiMc'nts of cur test products, the UGC took up last yepr as .a pillowt 'scheme, summer a;hoo:}.s for Taleint^d Undejrgraduates and chose MMaidurai to try the etperiment, t

This year,again, tthiey have requested ladurai to organise suci a shcool and the idea was mnooted in March and the vai'ibus universities were invited to send in noonminees among their )est stuc^ents, on the basis of academic records,, As Madurai was asked to conduct a summer school for college tteachers also, this school could not be had in summer and hence Occttober was chosen 22 candidates kave beori selected for this course, hiailing from variouj parts of the country.^ -

There are possiblee extij’eme modes of organizing the course. One which is generally preefterred by many mathanatioiens could be to give theiri an intensive inittiruction in some suitable chosen theme in Mathematics say for QXaramjiple the building up of thfe number systems and see to i t that they afrei given full opportinitias to digest this single piece with the bellieaf that once one topic of Mathanatifis has been appreciated and mastei?rfed well, they woulc be able to master other-itopics in Mathematicvss and appreciate them subsev.oiently* . Another mode would be to t ©expose the% not to wch a sp ecial and intensive course; but to tK^hee diversity of the many basis mathematical disciplines and to the drgeamic oneness of these •- as the study of structures. This would reqiiulire a little more mturity than the other one; and a ls o ’may not be obbttalnable by the stvdy of any single book*

Since the students? m ere choBen fr<^rn tla best o f the contry and since the idea of th© cocuurse is to stimulete their zest for mathematics, we decided in t fplarining this institute to learn more heevily on the latter mode,-, ,

Professor Venkataraamnan of Madurai University gave an account of set theory ordered sets s aind the Mathematics, miodeljs defined physical objects and their rrepresentation, apaae, time, motion etc.

Professor K,Venkataao3halinegar gave lectures bn various problems solved and unablveedi of Special mentioi arei Ramanujan’s identities and their significance, Speer*nee's leima ancl Le)egues covering theorem, Queueing and housing probleemns, inequalities anl Weyl*s marriage problem.

Professor Rajagopallaan of the Madurai Uiivorsity gave a systematic development of Analysis inccltuding among Its tojics, the development of the real number system, funncJtions, convergence and uniform conVGr["ence and Approximation theorems c ojnfunctions,

Dr.K.H.Nagarajan off the Madurai Univayiity exposed the l

Dr.T.Soundararajan, cof th© Madurai University, gave an account of the Galois thaecory and its uitiiiiy in soiving the problem of solution of equattlions by radicals aid the famous geometric problems of antlqquiity such as the dujlication of the cube, squaring the circle anncd trlsection of tht angle* Professor Ekambaramof the Sri Venkateswara University ana Mr .Smith of the British Comcil, introdiiced the students to the techniques of computer's ani liow they c o u l d be utilised^Mr.Smltli brcught’two films on autoimtion.We are thankful to the B ritish Comcil for the cx)0 perati0i in the conduct of the institute,

Sri D,R,Kaprekar, IGC retired t.eachf2rs utilization scheme Awirdee, gave entertaining talks on Demlo numbers* He also had maiy pleasurable items of nunber puzzlos in between lecture hours.

Prof.G,N.RamachandJan, Director f'or the centre of advanced study in Phjipies Madras/ gave a talk on mathomatics and crystal structure.

Small discussion g'otips supervised and guided by these lecturers and research sciolars in the Department ware arranged, Tlese were found very us^ul, butu unfortunately we could not dtvote as much t.l|ne for tiese as we had wished.

Each of the students has been presented with a set o f books wllch aJ’e expected to te aseful in follbw-up reading and aSsimbi«« litlng. The students will be given continued help in the subsequent mtnths in assimilating all these m aterials.

The male students were housed in the guest rpoms of the Cftsinoplitan Club and the lady students in Mr.Ramamurthy*s house jist behind i t . The catering was undertaken by Messrs* S » S ,C a fe . T) all these concerned ptrsons we are deeplylndebted for their l^felp and hearty cooperation.

On nth and 12th, the students had a trip to Cape Comerin and other places enroute,

I wish to record lere my appreciation of the exceedingly rice way in which the stidents behaved themselves through the toxirse, off the class rcpm as well as inside and the nice way in vhich they responded to tha several type of matbematlcal stlna vhich we tried to administer to thorn lectures, problems etp.

We firmly believt tiat the aims of the Instttute have been ichieved with a good mejsuro of succesi. and the trainees are @c3lng Jack with a cleaner picmi^ of mathematics, its methods, meaning content and «ptirredonto more enthusiastic pursuit of the subject, ^

May they have th# tric^ssingi of Lord Sundareswara aiid Goddess Meenakshi in bounteous leejsure for a very useful and active career. REPORT ON THE INSTITUTE IN CHE^/ISTRY FOR TALENTED UNDEitGRADUATE S?UDa^T NOVBVIBER/DECSVIBER 1967.

Meeting: Dated 1st May,1968, ^

Item No, 36: To consider a proposal from the Aligarh Muslim Oliversjty for the creation of two posts o; Lecturers in the Ajma] Khan Tibbiya College,

The Aligarh Muslim Iftilversity has apprcached the Commission for the creation of two posts of Lectur s ii the prescribed scale of pay, in the Ajmal Khan llbbiya College, 0:1 these two posts one will be for Mantlq and Falsafa and the other for Midwifery and Gynaecolc^, According to the University the Study of Manliq and Falsafa is important since these are basic sciences and the Unani System of Medicine cannot be properly Understood witliout their knowledge. In the past the subj3cts of Mantiq and Falsafa were being taught by the Haliims v/ho had a special knowledge of these subjects. The need for a vhole time lectui'er has been related to the f^ct that all these H^iirs have now retired and there Is no other'person on tho staff who car teach these subjects. Regarding the post of a Lecturer in Midwifery and Gynaecology the University has stated that since graduates oi tlie Tibbiya College ar-* either appointed in Branch Dispensaries of th^ U.P^Government or car'*y on private practice in'rural areas whero thoy come across all kinds «f Midwifery and Gynaecological cases, without a proper training in the subject, they cannot rendur satisfactory m€dl::al service to the women of the rural areas. It.is, therefore, mc^ssary that the female students* qualifying for the BUMS degree shrul'i be proficient in Mid­ wifery and Gynaecology, The staff of the medi'::al college could have been recuw2sted to liftp'tirt iwstruction in MicwlEery and Gynaecology, bit since they are already fully enp;agod and aie 'i^ot in a position to tale up extra load of teaching raid the medium oi iistruction In the Tibbie College is Urdu, it is essential that a post )f Lecturer be created for the purpose. A copy of the university’s letter received in this connection is attached as annexure.

With the rcetiremcait of the st&ff who could teach thes3 subjects, the problieBm has again a>me into the foie. However the above arrangement v/as not addeequate and the standard in the subjects did not inprove. Some of the prressent staff of the college who were asked to take the subjects dlidi so, but these attempts ma4e one after another amtng a number of teacheerrs did not improve the position and the standard of the subject driftcedd to a lower level.

As regards the pos: cf a Lecturer in Micdvwifery and Gynaecology it is pointed out that the teachers of the depaairtment in the Medical College arc already having their full load of woork.

The proposal was ]pUaced before the Starding Advisory Committee on Area Sttidies at it s imeeeting on the 2nd March, 1967, The Committee welcomed the proposal aindd desired that steps may be taken to establish a centre for Japanese situidies in the Delhi University (which had beei selected by the Cbnmlttceee on Area Studies cS the most appropriate centre for developing Ci'hilnese and Japanese atidies) with tho assista^ice being offered by the JappaH.nese Government, Tlic matter waS thereafter discussed with the Vlce<-^^hancellor, Delhi Tni^ersity, th > ropresenta^^iv© of the Indian Council fcor* Cultural Relatione ind a represontative of the Ministry of Externall ivffairs„ It was a reed that the Universit/ would introduce courses itn Japanese languaeo md would develop its exlstt.Tvg course on Japim eise Eoonomic History inder the Department of Economics, should the prron-vosal result in tte iniversity’ s acquiring three visiting teachers ffrom Japan, The Vio0*-Chancellor tlosired that the selection of thhe> visiting teachers niiy be made in association with the Tbkyo Universitty and the representative of the Indian Bmbasiy in Japan, The visiting sstcaff would be attaciiod to the Department of Chinese Studies which coiulld be renamed p.b tVio Department of Chinese and Japanese Studies, Ap.iairt from the language courses, however, the teaching o f Japanese Eco^noomics or Japan-^se Sistory e t c ., would be organised under the Depr^ritm-nt3 of '^ooi I Sciences,following the pattern adopted by the unlverslt'y for its existing Area Studies programes in Pakistan, China and Afritcsa,

Regarding acoomnod^attlon, it was suggested that an allowance Rs.500/*- a month may be eofffered for this purpcse to each of the visiting teachers in llevu of free accommodaUoi,

In reply to a requees?t from the Vlce'-Chan:el lor that the pro­ gramme may be approved im principle by the Comnlssion boforo opening negotiations with the JappaAneae Government, aP”>x)val in principle was conveyed to the uni veer* sity vide this office letter No,F,23-5/66(C' dated July 14,1967 (Annexujrce I ) , The University haa since been informed by the Indian Cb>utncil for Cultural delations that the arrange­ ments proposed by the unilveeraity are acceptablfl to the Japanese authorities.

In July 1967 the Unllversity requested the Commission to consider the pt)ssibllity of the Commlsssion meeting the entire recurring expenditure on thf tm schemes for a perilod of five yet rs -rcDi tlk) date of institution of the schemes, in revision ojf the terms of saiction which stifWlated that assistance from the CoTiBnissioDn would cease at 'he end of the Fourth Plar period. The University was Unformed in Octobei,1967 that it was not possible for the Commission tto agre^ to this request#

ThF- University has appproached the Commission to reconsider tliis decision as per letter atta{ChnG,d(Annexure I ) . It is stated that the State Government had been requesteed to meet the emlre recurring cost as a committed expenditure after tlhe Fourth Plan peiiol. The State GcVQrnmcnt has replied that the questioni may be considerec at the end of the Fourth Plan period, in the light o f f availability of lunis and no assurance of assistance could be given att the present stage. The university appre­ hends that the S|;ate GovermmeRnt; may take some Ume after the Fourth Flai to arrive at a decision. Tiilll that tim.e the Uni varsity would be in an embarrassing position rfgardir.ng incurring of expenditure without sanction either from the Commission o>r* from the 3hptr^ Governm^t.Iftider the circum- sta.nC0S^ the cawitin Had 1 to meet-the recurring cxast for the programmes for a period of five yeers from the date of implementation, i .e . from 23rd December, 1966 and 3rd June, 1967 respectively for South East Asia and Pakistan#

Acceptance of the is^iTerslty's proposal would involve extension oJ assistance beyond the present sanction for a period of 9 months it the case of South East Asian Studies and a period of 15 months ii the case of Pakistan Stuiies, requiring roughly an expendituro of Bi,48,000/- and Rs,25,800/-respectively i.e. a total sum of R1.73,800/-

E.O.(C)/D.O.(C) Copy of letter No,U3/LG/12/68 dated 16th March,1968 from the Registrar, Jadavpur University, Calcutta to tie Secretary, University Grents Commission, New Delhi,

Kindly refer to your letter No,F,l-*ll/65.H/C) dated 25th October, 1967, wherein you have regretted your inability to accede to the request of the Ihiiversity in meeting tie recurring cost o f the above two schemes for five years from :he date of imple­ mentation of the schemes,

I am to state that on hearing from you, '.he University approached the State Government with request :o meet the entire recurring cost as a committed expenditure a fte r the Fourth Plan p>eriod. The State Government has informed the Ifr.iversity that the question of supparting the schemes may be considor^d at the end of the Fourth Plan period in the light of aTailability of funds and no assurance of assistance has been given by them at the pi’esent sta^e.

It is apprehended thet the State Government may take some time after the Fourth Plan to take a decision to assume liability and, therefore, t ill that time the University would be in an embarrassing position regarding the incurring of expenditure without sanction either from the Commissi n or from tie Stato Government, Under the circumstances, the Commission is again reQuosted to reconsider the previous decision conveyed in letter dated 25,10,67 referred to above and agree, as a special cas5, to meet the entire recurring cx>st for a period of 5 yerrs from the date of Implementation of these two schemes.

Scheme Date of implementation

For South Cast Asia 23,12,1966 For Pakistan 3»6,1967

If the Commissi jn agree to the proposal mentioned above, the Universl tT would be able to continue to work the schemes and to get some time for p revailin g on the State Government to agree bear the entire recurring cost from 197 2, I A decision from the Commission in rhis respect is soliclttid at an early date.

Item No* 39-j^Jb consider tthe allocation of reesearch scholarships to the univerrsities for 1968-69*

At its meeting helcd on November 5,1967, the Commission noted that the Ministry of 3duceation had tran&lerrel the Reseerch Training Scholarships Scheme for iirmpdementation to the U .G .C, and agreed that the schol^ships awarded sso far by the Ministry of Education be merged with the scheme of scholarrsjhips o f the UGC, with effect from the academic session 1968-69, w'hen the allocation the combined scholarships would be madee to the universities, and that 2/3rd of the scholarships allocated to the universities be eermaJ^ked for science subjects, wherever such faacilities are available* The Commission further agreed that (i ) thho unavailed scholarships awarded by the Ministry of Education tl# ffr^ozen with effect fjoir 1,1*1968 (ii) tlie conditions for award of sccho 1 arshlps after th« merger te the same as those of the existing ssciholarships awarded by the UGC and (iii) the universities be requossted to set apart a portion of the allocated scholarships for encoura^jiln^ postgraduate researd^ in their affiliated colleges, wherever such faacilities are availalle# In this connection, the Commission noted that \wlth the merger the number of scholarships that would be awarded by tthe IIGC would be 600 per annum. It was su^'gested that the universiiTties may be requesled that^ ordinarily^ these scholarships may be given to candidates who hcve obtained first class at the Master*8 degree levvel* I A statement indicatting allocations of f'65 sclx)larships propo£»ed for Various universities Its attached (appendi> I), It is proposed to keep 35 ac^K)lt'rships In resderve for award to deserving candidates In universities where the allcocations suggested nay prove to be inadequate* The proposed allocations haav'e been indicated generally sajne basis as in the case of thee 321 rese?’rnb sn.hol'irahips which were allocated by the Commissi >r;n io 1007*-68* It was,howei’er n o t e d that gone universities had not fully- uitillsed the qchola’‘ships given to them in previous yearsj for Instta.nce, the Uni ar si ties of Delhi, Calcutta, Annamalai, Andhra and Funjaab had many vacant sJholarships during 1967» This has been taken innto account while suggesting allocations to these universities for 19088«'e9,

A statement contalTHln;g draft rules for implement log the combined scheme of scholarsshlps is attached (apfiendix II), The r u l e s proposed are as few as iiossBlIble and indicate bJoad giiide*~llnes to enaire uniformity in imple^miiemtation.

It is understood thaUt the Ministry of Ecucation has not made any separate provision in tth© budget of the UG( far 1968-60 for implementing the sch^nne^ o f research schcilaiships transferred to the U,G,C, As against the buudget estimates of Bs,l4*8 2 crores of the Coimission for the year 196^8-60, a provision of only Rs.ll croras has been made and as against thee budget ^«®tiiOftte of aa*3,5() crores for new schemes during 1968-09«, oinly its,50 lakhs ha5 been ptYJVlded and this has been earmarketi for students iimenities.

It is for ainsidorr.feiio;n whether the number of sciyjlarshj ps to be awarded during the year ll9<38-69 may be 600 (JSC scholarships already being awarded annually by thhe UGC and 250 scholjrships per year awarded by the Ministry of Sducationn) as earlier desirec ty the Commission or may be reduced in view of thne present budget position of the Com.nissloE,

The important points discussed v/ith the collegc authorities a»’e given belowj

1, Title oil the building; The college hat Iu.:'nis:ied to the U,G,Vf,- a copy of the sale deed(in Marathi) certified by the Principal, As per this deed the purchase of the p::*op£’t> ..3 «xecutt;i in Le<;-embei I960 and January 1961, A copy of the sala tic-J duly ceroifi :1 by th., court was obtalmed from the Principal and r tcitied by the U.G*C<. represer.tativ©. From the title deed, It is clear that the Phalton Education Society has a clear title ov-^" the baildlng and the adjacent piece of lan d* The building is more than 25 yearE old and has a carpet area oif 5313 sq»ft« The phalton Educctlon Society paid Rs,72,000 for this building along with a pifoe of open land having ari area o f 25410 s q .f t . Of this amount, Rs,56,000 wero made available by the coll^g^ partly out of the U,G«C, funcs, Tie building is not being used foE' the Jthree year degree cj^urse but for conducting a primary schcx)]L. As regards the title, it !na;y be mehtionGd that the land and the toullding have been soiVi to the Phalton Sdacation Cocicty by a close x eJLation of tne chen y oi one ‘-•o c j , %-.lu - , V V,. the Chairman of the govorning coum ciil. In view of this the valuation of this property beconiGS an importanit factor which is dealt later in the report. The present site of tithe college i s located in the heart of the city measuring about twivo acres and approximately valued at Rs. 2 lakhs. The colLege authorltties stated that they had earlier planned to construct an educationaTL block adjf.cent to theprescnt college building.The foundation stone was ®,llso laid by the then Chief Minister ft lta>U5raahtra* Shri Y.D.Chavaa. Tiiiu- ton Education S o c ie t y later on decided to utilise the U«G3,C. assistance to make a suitable addition to the college building to b* constructed at the new site measuring about 25 acras which had boeen acquired free of cost and is located at , a distance of 2 miles tfrrom the heart of the c i t y . The college approached the U.G.G, thrdUggh its letter of 17th February, 1961 for permission to utilise the UJ.G.C, grant towards th© expansion of the new college building. The (OO)llege authorities then requested the U .G ,C . that the Phalton Educatloon Society would credit the college funds with an amount of Hs, 566,000 to be treated as UGC*s contribution towards the developmentjt/expansion of the new college building. By then the Sqviety had acutually spent more than R s*l lakh towards the construction of the new 1 buildlgg* The request o f the college for utilising the grant of Rtts,56,000 for the new building was accepted by the Commission through iits letter of 7th A p r il,1961,

In view of the above information^, the college authorities were requested to indicate the reasonns for the non«isubmission of an affidavit signed by the Chairman of 1 the Governing Body to the effect that the title of the buildlngg and theland belong to Mudhoji College, Phalton and that the Phaltopn Education ^Glety would pay a sum of 118.56,000 to the Mudhoji Colllege towards the construction of the n«w building. While arlmiting: tthe lapse on their partj the college authorities stated that they did not consider it necessary to furnish an affidavit because they were under the impression* that this was not required in view of thie UGC*^s permissl n to transfer the amount towards the construct!ora oof an additional accommodation at the new site* On questioning as tco why this was not clarified through correspondence with the UGCUniversity, the Principal stated that thero had been a dispute re ;c->dlng the Chairmanship of the Governing Council of the Society amcjngst the Society authorities themselves. This contributed towardss th e delay in the submission of the require ’ information and als

2. Valuation Certificate; As regards3 the valuation the Principal of the College was asked to furnish ai certificate duly certified by the P.W.D, Engineer. The perusal of tthe records of the college showed that first efforts to obtain the ceJJ'ttificate was made by the college through its letter No.P3/B/Sat/478fi8 (dated 6th May,1967 addressed to the Office of the Executive Engineesr, Satara Division* The Executive Engineer inturn asked the college to vwrite to the Executive Sigineer* of the Zila Pari shad. The College them approached the 2ila Parisliad vhlch regretted its inability to undecrtake this work because of shortage of technical staff. The coLlcege authoritifes did not puraie the matter in an energetic manner bccsause of the dispute in the society itse lf. The college also did rnot inform the U ,G ,C , or ^pven the Poona University to the effect thaat the P*W,D* as well as the Zila Pari shad were unwilling to value the pproperty. The principal agreed to furnish necessary valuation ceertificate mw and requested the UGC and the Poona University to use ilts good offices with the P.W.D, authorities. The college principaal very much r egret ted the lapse on the part of the college for not cco'mmunicatin? this to the U ,G ,C , or tr the Poona University, In the abseence of cooperation from the P# the college submitted to the U,G,,C, a plan sibnitted by a private engineer, /icoording to the oollegge authorities the current value of the property acquired by the colllegre - because of its location in the heart of the city- comes to Rs,l lakh as against Rs,56,000 paid by the college.

As regards the status of tth U,G,C, to consider sympathetically the question of codonlng the on the pait of the college and the Phalton Education Society,

A communication has since I been receivtd frofc the Principal requesting the UGC to condone the delay and yermlting the coll3gG to utilise the amtmnt towards the* constrvcticn of the new building.

The Committee also went . round the Manuscripts Section of the In^stitute and the Ramayana Department, The report of the t!l!'inmittee is attached (Annexure I) , The main observations and recommend­ ations of the Committee are summarised )elow;

Valmiki Ramayana

(,a) Providing’ a critically constituted text based on the e v alu atio n of the manuscripts drawn from different of the development of Indian dulture. Therefore., this work has great relevanoe to Indian studies and is a valuable contribution to the subject. Published parts have been received with appreciation by competent scholars all over the world*

(b) The progress o f work, however-, during the past four or five years has. shown considerable variations owing mainly to o beyond uhe conoxul of the University, the chief of them being the death of the General Editor and one of the Kanda Editors, It is necessary that in future, the work progi’^e-sses at a. more, steady pace. The University should make all efforts to ensure implement at lom according to plan^ so that' by the end, of the present Plan period, v i s . , 31st March >1971, the Yuddhakanda is .printed and t:he press co^y of the Ui^tarakanda is made ready. ?

(c) Steps should be taken to complete the "Pada In d e x ” of "all* the published parts up to the Yuddaakanda during -the current plan period itself by utilizing the part- ‘time services of B.A. and M.A, students of the Sanskrit- department of tine university and corresponding students of the Sanskrit Mahavidyalaya. This index will be extremely useful to research scholars in identifying passages and quotations in Sanskrit Literature.,

(d) The Committee discussed the question of payment of honorarium to t he General Editor x)f • the Ramayana D^ipart- ment who is also lY ijj Deputy Director of tlie Oriental Institute in th.e Reader’s grade* It was -felt, that the work relating to the Critical Edition of^'the Ramayana is of a highly technical nature whiii^ requires the full-time attention of the General Editor, The present arrangement of paying honorarium *of Rs,300/- per month is therefore in the interest of economy as well as efficiency of work^ The Committee has therefore recommended th'it th^: pr'^^'is i )v. ■inade by the Commission for payment of allowance during the Third Plan period may contin»% during the Fourth ^lan also. It is however suggested that the woi^^ be completef^ according to time schedule and that all ^allowances should be discontinued with effsct fiom'3^st March 19'('1,

(e) Although the department has publicised its work by announcements in the two journals which are officially published by the Oriental Institute,, it is felt that the work of the department should be publicised rao.re widely among tlhe degree and pojptgraduate institutions within the country, particularly in the-departments of Languages, History and Soci«l Sc-" ances,

( f ) The Committee recommends that the present sharing basis of $/3i^ and 1 /3rd in‘4respect of the Critical Edition of t*he Ramadan a for bc5th the recurring and non­ recurring expenditure may continue during the Fourth Plan, period. The-Committee was told by the Vice- Chancellor tha.t:„ the university and the State Gov6.rnment Would be arble-to provide tt© matching contributions,

Gaekwad Oriental|'^eries

(g) The texts selected for publication .under the Gaekwad Oriental Series are of great importance and some, of them like the Yavanajataka are very rare. As their publication will add to the knowledge of scholars' in ^ 1 -fsu'^-^ects, •t-be may be supported (fe)

by the University Grants Commission*, but the Committee would also like to suggest that for bringing out publications in future, the University may create a revolving fund- from the sale proceeds of the Gaekwad Oriental Series*

(h) The Institute has proposed the appointment of a .' research* assistant in the grade of Rs,250-350 for' assistance tov;ards the eciiuii%> axia' publication of Gaekwad Oriental S.eries, It was however noted that . there was'a p0 st■of' sunerinten 3nt•in the,Oriental Institute but the incumbent of this past had been transferred to the Ramayana Department ,. The-Institute, may fill up the sanctioned post ,and utiliz.e the services of the*incumbent towards the’publication of th6 Gaekwad Oriental'Seties . ' ■ '■

(i) The fin a n c ial implications o f the re.cqmmendations of , the Committee are indicated below:

5* The progress of wore, however^ during the past four cr five years has shown considerable virlations owing mainly to factors beyond tha control of the Universit/, tho chief of them being the death of the General Editor and one of the Kanda Editors, It is necessary that 1q future the work progresses at a more steady pace. The University shouild make all efforts to ensure implementation according to plan so that by the end of the present Han period, v i z ,, 31st M arch,l9fl, the Yuddhakainda i is printed and the prest copy of the Uttarkanda is made ready. In other* words, the editorial pait of tho^ork should be completed within the current Plan period and made available t , scholars, as early as possibLe,

6 , The Committee also recommends that steps shoulfl be taken to qomplete the *’Pada Index" of all the published parts up to the Yuddhakanda ,durirng the current plan period itself by utilizing the part-time services of B,A* and students cf the Sanskrit department of the ttiiversity and corresponding studeits of the Sanskrit Mahavidyalaya^ The index of Padas already publisled in the G«0,S, Is based on the vulgate edition of the Rajnayana, The proposed index of Padas from the ci'ltical edition will be distinct from thlSj as it will take note of both the constituted toit as well as the additional passages which are included in the cri .ical apparatus and in the appendices to the Kandas which is expectei to cover a total of.more than two lakhs entries. This index wii:" be extremely useful to research scholars in identifying passages ani quotations in Sanskrit literature,

7 , The Committee discissed the question of payment of honorarium to the General Editor of the R^najrana Department who is also the Deputy Director of the oriental Institute in the Reader^ s grade,. Generally speaking, all research projects should be treated as an integral part of the coicerned departments from which follows the general principle that lormally no allowances should be given to ' existing members of the department. The committee, however, feels * that the work relating to the Critical Edition of the Ramayana is of a highly technical nature which requires the full time attention of thie Gejieral Editor, Oridim rily, the department should be headed by a senior person in the piofessor*s rank; but it would not be feasible to obtain the services of a professor for a temporary research project of this nature* The present arrangement of jay in g' an honorarium of R s , 300/- per month is, therefore, in the interest of economy as well as efficiency of work. The Cbmmittee, therefore, refoommends that the provision made by the Commission for payment of allowance during the Third Plan period may continue during the Fourth Plan also* It is , however, suggested that the work should be completed iccording to time schedul^ and that all etllowances should be discontinued v/ith effect froni 31st Mar chj 1971, _ , '

8 * The Committee was informed tl)at against the estimated;extent of the Yuddhakanda in two volumes as indicated in Uiiverslty *s letter No,GCU/766 of^'the 21st^ July 11966, the actual coverage wis expected to be around !l400 pages in the light of some new manuscripts wiich have been discovered. The printing of the Yuddhakanda would conseqieiitly continue upto; 31st March, 1971, on the basis of printing about 350 pages per year, Conse- quently, the pubiication otthe Utt^akanda wiich is expected to be^'press- ready at the end of this Plan period may have to go to the press durirg the next Plan period* The Committee haS, tierefore,* not made any proiMsion for printing of the llttarakanda ani the Pratika Index in the estimatodi expenditure during the Fourth Plan period*

9. The Committee feels that such long term research projects should provide for normal strengtJiening of tJie depa'tments, concerned, and it would be desirable to create regular posts ot research assistants to assist in the growth of the department from among the present staff. This will also provifib an op^iortiinity; to the staff employed under the research scheme to bo absorbed in .the university on: the basis of their performance and experience^ which in turn WiLl act as an incentive to them to devote themselves wholeheartedly to their present job. The Vico- Gl\ai\Gellor agreed to consider this proposal* ;

10, Although the doparunent has published its work by announcements in the two journals which are officially pufcLlshe' by the Oriental Institute^ the Committee feels that the work of the depai’tment should bq publicised more widely among the degree aid postgraduate. institutions within the cuuntry, particularly in' the departments of Languages, History and Social Sciences, Dissemination of thii^ inidmiatioh would result in a wider circulation of the works of the Apart ment and to that extent would assist also in the realization of roster sale proceeds,

11» Diiring the Third Plan period, the Comjiiission had provided one attendant and two peons for the Ramayana Department, The Cbmmittee discussed this matter with the General Editcr who agi’eed that it might not be necessary to continue the p

12, Tlie Committee recommends that .the presgit sharing basis of 2/3rd and l/3 r d in respect of the C ritical Editior of the Ramayana for both the recurring tod non»-recurring expenditure may continue during the Fourth Plan period. The Committee was told by the ^ice~Chai^ceilor that th « ‘^University and the otate Govornmcnt woild be able tq provide their matching contributions of 13 1/3 and iO percent respectively,

The .vorks edited by ithae members of the staff of the Institute involve only the cost of primtting. The Institute propbses to bring out publications at the rate

16* The texts selected for publicatiom are of great importance and some of them are very rare like the Yaivaanajataka. As their publi­ cation will add to the knowledge of scjhcolars in different subjects, the ; programme may be supported by the Univrerrsity Grants Commissionj but the Committee, \^ould a.so like to sugiitfSUL that for bringing out publications,, in future, th'-ie University may; :?^eate a revolving fund from the sale proceed s. of the Gaae’kwad •Oriental Series* The average sale proceeds of tl^ series cpmee to about Rs^l8,QOO per annunlj and it should be possible for the Universsi t to ha^e a fund of Rs*55,dq.o/*“ the K5Xt Plan period which could be aiugmentod by the thiversity Grants Comniisslon, The aim should bo to mako lit a self-supportiig scheme,

17, The Inst ituto has proppo sed the apnbintment of a research'aSsi start in the grade of Rs,250^350 f

18* The Committee feels th.ia^ the programme cf the Institute for bringing out four volumes per annum i:s feasible and il should be possible to publish twelve volumes ini i:he current Plan period as proposed. A part of the work may be farmed o^ut to other presses if the University press is unable to cope with i t .

In the dli.s«cussions that the CommittoG had v/ith the Director* Deans and Heads off XDopartmentff, the fcllowing pt;>ints wore higlilightedi » (1) The enwironmental advantages and the availability of a wide variety of pi:ro,grEunmes help the students to keep themselves occupied with w:>rtth\whiie activities. This has helped to make th© students genuinely/ intorestfid rotonly in co-curricular studies hut also in their studies,

(2) Reform in the examination system: The reorganisation brought about in ith«3 assosKnent syslen by the Institute provides for increased assessmcsnt and consequently the teaching**learning process has improved consiid(erably, The termiial examinations and Internal examinations liave also boon closely related to each other. Special additional classe-s are organised for veak students. Examination and assessment liave btoein treated as part of the teachers job and no fees are allowed fbr e:xamiination under the new system adopted by the Institute and no cexitra remuneration is paid to the teachers for marking (3) The disser’^tions of post-graduate end doctorate students however, assessed by extornai. group of experts,

(4) As for the social relations between the students and teacherss, i t was said that the students r^onerally do not go to their teachers to discuss their personal problemSo

(5) There is frowing realisation that the intake of undergraduatee courses should not be increased but that of post-graduate courses ^oulld be increased, to facilitate improvement of standards aod maximum utili-.- zation of facilities,

(6), New oDurscs should be introduced tn ^veral disciplines to provide for skilled workers readily absorbed by the economy of the couuntry

(7) The products of the Institute have done well i'h foreign univ«^ei*- si ties. It was poittod out in this connection that one of its engineoering graduELtes has recently stood first in the postgraduate examination at the Oolumbia, University,

D13CU3S10NS WITO STUDSNTS The discusaioi with the students brought forth the following pointSt

(a) There was genuine concern among the students regaining theirr prospects of employment.

(b) The dead*wood from the Syllabii of variouB courses has stilll to be cut, though some changes have been recently introduced*

(c) The courses of study offerod by the Institute are not very j helpful to many students to compete for A ll India Competitive Examinautlon lik e the I . A . 3*

Cd) V/hile tie degrees of the Institute are readily recognised by foreign universities, there is a discriminatory approach within the country. The M,Sc3, from the Institute have io spend one more year before thfey are adnitted to Research, whereas the M,3cs* of I,I,T*s are admitted to rc^ecrch courses without such conditions* (o) The comimnity life in the hostels needs to be better organlise^ The i fomal teacter-student contacts have to grow both in numbers annd j prograiisis&«v ^

Subsequtently, tlie Vico*^haiiceIlor, Osraania University wrote to the Bducatiom Minister suggesting that a committee be set up by the U*G*C*. to oomsidcr meacures for tiding over the finanoial difficulir ties faced biy the University, On a roferonoe from the Education Minister, a 'Committee was appointal to consider in all its relevant aspects, in consultation with tho State Government^ the financial difficulties, faced by the University, the intention being to discuss the difficulties of tho University with the University and State Government mnd not to make recommefidationG in a unilateral way^^ It was also decldef to include in this Committee the State Education Oe)cretary and furthor proposed that the Committee during its visit Ito the University may hold discussions with the Stote Finance Seciretary# ^ from On a referoncG /. the State Education and Finance Secretaries, the Education SecXotary Informed that he had not been permitted by the State OcDvernraent to join the Committee, An extract from the letter receiiived from tht* State Finance Secretary is reproduced belowi The Go^vernment greatly rerret that the U*G»C* has set up a comm'ittee to go into the financial difficulties of the Osmania Univer-sity” in consultation vith the State Governmcnt'% withouit consulting the State Government before hand*

p#t*o« The Govemmeit can possibly have no objection for the Univers?!^ u Grants Commlsslor. to have its own Committee with a view to sec what help the U,G,C* can give to the University, But, obviously, it camnot take into account any policies or decisions of the State GoVGrnmCnit| in as much as, the State Government are not a party to the format lorn of the 3ub-CoraraittGe and in fact, the State Government has not a l s o been consulted before such a Committee was constituted#

The Government are also of the view, that it would not be proper for an outside body like the U,G,C, to go into any policy decision of the State Govcarnment which fall exclusively within the executive and legislative jurisdiction of the State-Government llkte. for example, the adequacy or otherwise of the financial aid or gram I which the State chooses to extent to the University, The Govemmentt are also of the view that it would not be correct for the Uhlversitty Grants Commission to go into any aspects of any aid oOt c^ny expendlitturo Incurred from tie State funds towards the University, The Sub- Ccmmittee of the U*G,C. may confine itself to examination of the details of ©xper.diture of any aid which has been given by.the UGC and devise Itl cwn recommendations as to what further aid the UGC can extend to tYB University, In this sphere obviously, the Govi;^ - have nothing to say^ iiDwover, the Government,would like to bring to the notice ol the University Grants Commission, that if the Oommlssioii feels like going into the financial affairs of tho Unlwer^ elty of the State, it should, more appropriately, go Into the ^affairs of all the three Universities, and preferably, start with Andhra University, Venkateswara University and then, take up the Osn^ania UnlversLty, since, tho other tvro Ibiversities have oompar?a«r tively far less of income.

Copy of letter N o ,1 9 7 /P W E ^ (T )/6 8 dated 19th April 1968 from Shri L*S,Chandrakant, Joint Educational Advisor, Ministry of Education addressed to DrPhilip, Secretary, University Grants Commission, New Delhi,

Please refer to your D,0,N o,F,l^l0/66/rrog.Ag, (Ql) dated 19th March 1968 rec^axding the Operational V/ork Plan of the "Science Education Improvement Project”,

I regret t’ery much I was not able to reply ea?'lier because of heavy pre-occupation with other urgent problems.

The work plan indicates that the in-pute from the Government of India side a.re estimated at Rs«72,50 lakhs for the projects operated by U,G»C, This indication is based on the Information given by U,G,C, when the draft of the plan was sent to Dr.Dashpande for cominents and also to give* an estimate of U,G,C, fundinf^.

The approximate break-up of R s ,7 2 ,50 laWis, as ascertained from Dr.Deshpande, is as. shown below;

1, Summer Institutes (54 Nos,) for Rs, 15 lakhs (In addition to colleoe level teachers, Rs#18 lakhs already disbursed by IJGC for the current year summer institutes)•

2, Colloge level Dovolopmont Rs* 10 lakhs Procramme 3* Research Participation Prograamme Hs, 2 " 4 , Air travel exiienses for UGC Rs, 1 " k Project nominees Local cost of ejiperts for summer Rs,0*50 lakhs institutes. „ 6, Project on semi-micro analysis Ra*5*00

The balance of Rs.39 lakhs is for upeo adjustment of the commodities already supplied for the summer institutes and their follow-up proftramrae*

The above funding, as usual, would have to be within the overall budf^et of U,G,C, V/e hope that U,G,C, has mede the necessary provision for these items in its budget.

The Operational Y/ork Plan by def initicn is a description of the activities contemplated under the project and intended to be a guide to the implementation of the project. As stated in the Preface the plan does not commit either government unless the required afinlnistrative and financial clearances have been given by the appropriate authorities#

It is important for the UGC to review the indicated inputs in the context of its total budget allocation and suggest if all the items of progxamJTies menti med should remain as they are or revised. As already explained in this letter, the Work Plan does not commit either party Uffttil the required administrative and financial clearances have been given by the appropriate authorities.

I hope I have clarified the position. But if you wish to disieuss, I should bo glad to meet you whenever you so desire. Meeting: Dated lot May,1968,

Item No. 54;To receive a note on the reprinting of books in the fields of Science and Technology under the Indo-American Standard V/orks Programine v/ith financial assistance from AID,

Under the Indo—U,S, Programme for publication of standard works, so far about 600 books have been published, of which approximately 400 are in the fields of Science and Technology. The United States Infoi'- mation JServioe, the agency designated by the U.S.Government for the execution of the programme, has been finding it difficult to reprint additional books owing to the shortage of funds, Ihe AID has now been able to obtain an appropriation of 2 million dollars worth of rupees through the *non-apprpriation' rule, A meeting of the IncJo^U.S* Textbook Board was held in the Ministry of lilducation on 15th April 1968 to review the performance of the textbook programme and also to suggest ways of improving its working. The minutes of the meeting are attached (Appendix I)* It is proposed to scrutinise with the help of panels, the titles of books already approved so as to avoid publication of out­ dated books and to recommend suitable new titles for this purpose;

The matter is placed before the CoTnmission for information.

D-O(ai) A meeting of the Indo-U«3^Text-Bcx>k Board was held on 15th April 1968 at 10,30 A.M, ini the Ministry of Sducation. The following were present! • ‘

Shri P*N ,Kirpa*,l, Secretary, Ministry o f» Edlucation,

Dr .Robert R* Brooks, Chief Cultural. Affairs .Officer,* U .S .1,13.

Dr.Wiliiam Childs, Books Programime O fficer, • U .S .I .S .

Dr.John R,Hubbard, Chief Education Division| \ US AID

Mr, Mar tin Ahrens, Progranmie O ffic e r , Educational Division, US A ID ,

Ghri I,3.Chantdrakant, Joint Educational Advisor, Ministry of l2*ducation.

D r .P .J ,P h i l ip., Secretary, University Grants Commission

Dr.R .D .D e shpainde, Development Officer, University Grants Commission*

Mr.Kirpal welcomed the manbers and stated that the meeting has been convened to rev'iew the performance of the textbook programme and also to suggest ways of Improving its Airking, He thanked the AID for making available adldltional resources for the effective implementation of the programme. V/Jlth this extra assistance, he felt that it should be possible to bring out cheaper editions of a number of titles which could not be undertaken due to lack of finance. He then requested Dr,Brooks to inform tho Committee about the developments in this regard.

Dr,Brooks stated that a most significant event has teeen receipt of an appropriation of rujjoe equivalent of 2 million dollars by tho AID through the *nom-appropriation rule’. This is a most difficult route for securing jfundo since the U.S. Congress is sensitive about the funds expanded I n this manner, Hnder this arrangement, the funds are handled directl^^y hy tho Bureau Qt Budget, AID and the State Department, He expa'essed satisfaction that this rule could be explored successfully though after months of untiring efforts by the Education Division US AID and the USI3, These funds will have to be utilised before 30th June 19 68, or alternatively atieast obligated. In view of this it was necessary to work out a simplified procedure So that the money can be spent before the dead-line, Tte USIS has proposed t a new sy s t e m of co^ntracting with t h e private {Wblishers. As per this System, 80 of tho manufacturing cost will bo ro«»lmbursod to the publishers on the completion of printing of tfto book and tho remaining 20 per cent (plUs 10 per cent as over^head e^qpenditure) N v i l l be paid to t h e publishers on furnishing the proof of sales. The actual sales w i l l bjo c h e c k e d by the USIS through on««the-spot checking. Such a procedure w o u l d provide necessary Incentive to tho publishers for pushiing sales. The UGIQ would pay to the publishers on a quarterly basis on receipt o f p rorpt and accurate figures of sales* The USIS was, however not in favour of ®aking frequent payments, but would like the publishers to approach the UGI3 on an jp^earjlybasis, if possible. As insthe past, the Indian-publishers wuld be required to obtain the permission for reprinting from the U.S^publlshers and then approach the U3I3 for necessary subsidy* Although the operational ftmds would be made av^ailable by the AID,' Dr,Brooks mentioned that it would be undesirable for the publishers to deal with the two GovemnQut asrencies, . The USIS will, therefore, be in»«charge of the operation of the progfammP| such as negotiating contracts, exercising quality control and fixing theprice in consultation with the publi­ shers* The Aid will be required to furnish to the, USIG list of titles of b: ks and t) place the necessary ftin'ds at the disposal of the UOia*

There was some discussion regarding the utilisation of funds by the date stipulated by the AIDA^aiD. Mr^Ahrens stated that the funds will have to be obligated by 30th June 1968, This would have to be done by first signing an agreement between the two Government agencies, v iz., the Ministry oi Education and the US AID(Education Division), On the basis of this agreement, a formal project agreement can be signed by the Ministry of Finance (Depairtment of Economic Affairs) and the US AID, One of the provisions of the proposed agreement would be the extension of time utilisation upto. 31st Decemlx)r, 1968, i ,e , by that date all the contracts with the publishers wculd have to be signed. It was agreed that 'a communication in this regard will be sent by Dr*Hubbard to Ivlr*Kirpal so as to enable him to take up this matter with the Ministry of Finance, , ‘ ’

A point was lalsed by *r*Kirpal as to whether the scope of the programme could be expanded to include the reprinting of books in regional langi-iagcs* Dr,Brooks mentioned that’ expanding the scope of the programme would involve obtaining tho'approval of Waslngton^ This would bo extrenely difficult this year.

It was mentioned that 287 titles were already approved but could not be publisted because of inadequate financial provision* At this stage, the Secretary, U ,G ,C , .«guggested that the titles already approved alongwith new titles should be reviewed by panels of experts ao as to avoid publication of out-«dated books*

As fax as Enjineering and Technology titles were concerned, Shri Chandrakant stated that Technical Divisi n. Ministry of Education., had identified gaps in regard to the availability of bookk in various subjects on the basis of surveys and through the progranme of summer institutes, V/hilo, by and large, the books requirements at college level have been met, the programme had not catered to the needs of books at the polytechnic and technical school levels# -The Ministry of Labour was also very much interest in making available the books to the Pclyteclmics and technical schools* The Board ; had resisted the inclusion of these titles because of lack of adequate funds* As a result of the summer institutes and survey, 62 new titles wore suggested* He enquired as to whether those oould be included in the figure of 287 indicated as a back-log of approved titles* Mr.ChildiB ctf the USIG indicated that these were not included inthe figure of 287*

At the instance of Secretary, U*g1c* , the importance of making available taxtbooks and supporting materials in the field of social sciences was discussed* There was a general feeling in the academic community that the latest books' in social scic^icea disciplinie were not available, Hiis fact was bi'ought to the'notice of the U,G,C’, by the participants and social scientists involved in the summer institute held in the field of social sciences. It was generally felt that the USIG programme should lay stress bn the reprinting of the suitable titles in the field of social sciences. In this connection, Dr*Brcoks mentioned that approximately ^ 400,000 worth of rupees (of USIC funds) would be utilised by the USIOi for the reprinting of boots ,in social sciences and Humanities and about 3 300.000 for science and technology. It was stated that unless the sum of ^ 400,000 was utilised by the stipulated time limtt, the USI3 will stand to lose the budcet provision in future years since this was usually made on the basis of actual performance.

As regards the Engineorix^g and Technology books, the lists of titles already approved as well as the rew ones to be included will be reviewed by the Technical Division of the Ministry of Education in consultation v/ith the APTI *emd expert panels. As regards books in sciences, the Board generally arjreed to the suggestion of Mr.Kirpal that these could be evaluated by the NCSEAGC Panels^ Mir*Kirpal also suggested that a similar advisory committee of the U,G*C,in social sclcmces might review the titles ip social sciences disciplines* He requested the U,G,C, to give highest priority for reviewing the titles through convening of panel meetings. It was agreed that all tho titles should be reviewed before the middle of May|1968»

Dr,CnV,Kurian. Professor of Niarine Biology and Oceanography at tho Kerala University had appllQd for a grtnt to attend a Congress ol Limnology, in Jerusalem, Ho is not likely to get it as the Congress is not a Commonwonlth Conference, while the Foundation is devoted to pronoting professional links within the Commonwealth, Also, I wondered whether Dr,Kvirian would get the Govemment of India’ s permission to go to a Conference in Israal« This cbubt, however, I did not share with the Committeo,

There was a meeting of the Board of Trustees on the 14th March, at which tho following gi’ants, from which India would derive some benefit were made:

1, The propcjsal to nominate an Indian Geologist for the ti'aveiling Comnonwealth Lecturership in Geolog;* was confirmed,

2, A grant of £3 400 to the Institute ol Development Studies, Sussex University, to finance participants to their amferencos next July on tho l\jlitics of Development, For the Conference, Professor R,Kotlari of Delhi University has been invited,

4* A grant of ^^3800 to tlis Director of the International Biological PIt?gramme. for financing the particijation of scienxists from developing oountrios to the Third Gtneral Assembly of I,B ,1 , in Varna, Bulgaria, So far, the sclentisto v/ho have applied for travel grants to X,B,r, are froii the countrios of Africa, But, in principle, our National Comnitteo of the I,B,P, is entitled to the same facility and Trofessor Seshachar •ma.yjbe asked to apply immediately to Dr,V/oithington, Director, I,B ,P , for travel funds for ,his people. 5, A travel and suosistance grant of £ 6000 to the British National Associition for Mental Health which is organising the 7th International Congress o» Mental Health, If any of our Psychiatrists wish to attend this Congress, they sh:;uld apply, immediately to Mrs,E,Morgan, Secretary to the Congrese, at the National Association for Mental Health, 39, Queen Anne Street, London, If a copy is endorsed to me, I v/ill keep an eye on the^ application,

6, A grant of £90C has been made to enable Professor-Ganguli, Professor of Biochemistry, ta carry out a three-months ; joint research project at the British Kational Institute, for research it Da.irying.

Vi/ith the establishmeni of the Foundation, a new source of financial support to Our professional activities, including scientific activities has become available* I am anxious that this new source should be exploited fully for tie promotion of our scientific and technological effort. Strictly, in accordance tp the terms of the Foundation Deed, the Foundation -has beon set up to promote various professional links in Commonwealth countries. Under these terms, the Fo’:ndation*s fund.s can only be legitimatsly used for travel and attendance at oonforences which have the effect of promoting professional links. In actual practices, however, the funds of the Foundation are beginning to be used for projects of a Technical Assistance nature. Against this, the Trustee for Canack, Mr.Escott Reid, has strongly protested, but has been over-ruled by the majority of the Trustees, I also lent my supix)rt to Mr.Escctt Reid at the last meeting, because we both share the same fear that Commonwealth Governments of developed OOUntrtGS would begiy to unload some of their technical assistance . projects on the Foundation, thereby relieving the pressure on their technical assistance funds* In fact, we see this already happening. But even if this is the line on which the Foundation is going to develop its activities, v/e sliould take full advantage of i t . As you know, in asking for grants from Foundations, for scientific or professional projects, a certain amount of skill and experience is required* professiona,l people in thl;> country,as well as British Institutions have loig experience of tapplAg the resources of various Foundations, They know how draft their applications and how to show the relei^ance of their projects to the aims and purposes orr major interests of a Foundation, and so it has come to pass that the major beneficiaries of the Foundation have been institutions and professional organisations in this country', '

In these scicntific and professional matters whoever is more alert and active woi.ld get the larger size of the cake. So far, despite the publicily which has been given to the establishment of the Comftvonwealth^Fovndati'jn in India, very few ap:;lications have been received, I think ve should encourage om’ Universities and Labor­ atories to submit mere projects of assistance to the Foundation, But in the case of each Bequest we should try to establish that the' project would have ihe effect of promoting closer links between scientists or professionals of India and other Commonwealth countries in the sane field, I must however make it clear that though I attend the meeting pf the Trustees on behalf of the High Commissioner, I can have no decisive effect on the acceptance or .rejection of this request and much would depend on their intrinsic merit and the support we can get from other Trustees, UNIVSRSITY GRAFTS CX:r>mi3SiaN

The IMiversity Grants Commission in its meeting held on 6th aJid 7th December, 1967 reiterated its earlier decision that there should be no minimum period laid down for teachers to be entitled for their contributory provident fund as any such restrictions would

Item No,59i To comsider the proposal of ICamani Sciencse College and Pratapiral Arts College,Ainrell for financial assistance for thie construction of a Mei’ s Hostel,

In October 19«63, the Commission received a letter from Dr.Jivaraj M,Mehta, President, -Amreli Vidya Fund whici runs the Kamani Science College and Pratapra^i Arts College, Amreli asking for information regarding the 'aSsist;aenc^^vaila)Dle from the University Grants Commission for the construction! of M^r^^Kostels, ThLs was supplied and the college requested to send a proposal through the university for the Commission’ s consideration. Mo f urther reference was received in this regard for 4 years.

In December 1 967, the Saiarashtra University recommended a pro­ posal of the college for assistance for the construction of a men*s hostel for 108 studemts. The college stated that one of the conditions of affiliation impos«ed by the university was that the college must pro­ vide hostel accommoidation for 25 students* V/hen the college comTiOnced construction, the au thorities felt that 25 seats would not be adequate for a college in the rural area and it was decided to construct a larger hostel for lOJB students. The building was completed and tie plan now furnished ceonforme, by and large, to the norms prescribed by the University Grant.s Commission for the construction of liostels. The construction was staorted in 1966 and completed in 1967*

The college hias an enrolment of 650 and has stated that in the first term after the hostol was completed, 102 seats were occupie I, In the second term, howrever, students got admitted to othef colleges in bigger towns and acceording to the information received in Febmar 1968, only 63 students residing in the hontjl.

The college hias stated that the ’^s'el has been constructe.1 at a cost of Rs,4,30,080/*- but the certified vx>st according to P«W,D, rates will be intimated later.

The college hias requested that in view of the very heavy expendi­ ture iricuried by the management on the construction and equipment of college buildings, aind ffie* fact that the college did not obtain any assistance from the IJ,G,C, during the Third Plan, the U,G,C, may nake a grant towards the construction of the present hostel building under the Third Plan ceilimg. The college also intends to submit propdsals later on for the conistruction of a hostel for women students, residential quarters for the Pri ncipal and other members of the staff, and a :ion- resident students cemtre.
