The Annual Report for 2013-2014 provides not only the major initiatives taken by the UGC as the apex body for coordinating and maintaining standards of higher education in the country, but also highlights the initiatives undertaken by the UGC to promote the general development of universities and colleges culminating in enhancing access, equity, relevance and excellence. During the second year of the XII Plan, the UGC has undertaken a number of new initiatives with a view to ensuring excellence and equity driven expansion of higher education. I do hope that the data/information provided in this Annual Report will be useful for the teachers, students, researchers, administrators and stakeholders in higher education. I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks and gratitude to all the members of the Commission for their unstinted support in carrying forward the agenda of the UGC.
