Maharashtra’s Free Education Scheme Spurs 44,198-Girl Enrollment Boost

Leave a Comment / By / Education Community

The Maharashtra government’s free education scheme has achieved a transformative milestone, with girl admissions in degree, diploma, and postgraduate courses increasing by a staggering 44,198 in the academic year 2024–25. Officials have hailed the rise as “phenomenal,” reflecting the scheme’s success in making education more accessible to girls from economically weaker backgrounds. Pooja Kamble, the daughter of an auto driver and now an MBA student in Pimpri, credits the scheme for enabling her to advance her career. “The free education scheme allowed me to pursue my MBA after working for two years post-graduation. This degree will help me grow in my career,” Kamble shared. Implemented by the higher and technical education department earlier this year, the initiative covers girls from families with an annual income of up to ₹8 lakh. It includes professional courses like engineering, law, pharmacy, and management. According to data from the state CET cell, girls secured 173,434 out of 597,277 seats in 2024–25, a significant increase from last year’s 129,263 out of 414,713. The surge is most notable in MBA, law, engineering, and technology courses. Experts have praised the scheme while acknowledging areas for improvement. Professor Ramdas Jhol of Dattakala Educational Institute remarked, “The scheme has significantly increased girls’ enrollment, despite initial confusion in its rollout. With revisions, we expect even better outcomes next year.” Former Higher Education Minister Chandrakant Patil, under whose tenure the scheme was introduced, expressed pride in the results. “This initiative aligns with Maharashtra’s legacy of championing women’s education, inspired by Savitribai Phule. It’s a proud moment to see our daughters achieving new milestones,” he stated. The scheme is expected to further reshape Maharashtra’s educational landscape, encouraging more girls to pursue technical and professional fields, fostering empowerment and opportunity.

Higher Education Minister MC Sudhakar Criticizes NEP at Bangalore University Convocation

Leave a Comment / By / Education Community

At the 59th convocation of Bangalore University held at the Jnana Jyothi Auditorium on Tuesday, Higher Education Minister MC Sudhakar openly criticized the National Education Policy (NEP) in the presence of University Grants Commission (UGC) Vice-Chairman Deepak Kumar Srivastava. Sudhakar’s remarks came after Srivastava, the chief guest, praised the NEP for bringing “spectacular change” to India’s education landscape. In his address, Srivastava highlighted NEP’s “path-breaking initiatives,” including the multiple entry-multiple exit system, automated permanent academic account registry, and national credit framework, which he believes are game-changers for higher education in India. However, Sudhakar, speaking next, raised concerns about the NEP’s practicality, pointing out that it overlooks on-ground challenges such as faculty shortages. “After the emergence of private universities, RGUHS, VTU, and similar institutions, many of our universities and colleges have become solitary, single-discipline institutions. For instance, when a student wants to study an open elective like AI, where is the faculty for it? If IITs have a 20% vacancy rate, imagine the condition of ordinary colleges,” he argued. Sudhakar emphasized that except for some private universities offering multidisciplinary programs under one umbrella, public universities struggle to implement such initiatives. The minister further questioned the multi-entry, multi-exit system, describing it as debatable and highlighting Karnataka’s decision to reintroduce its state education policy with a three-major system and empowered boards of studies. “We have a reason for opposing NEP. It is crucial that the interests of public universities are safeguarded,” he said. Sudhakar’s critical stance isn’t new; he had previously questioned the credibility of the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) during a convocation event at Bengaluru City University, directly addressing UGC Chairman M Jagadeesh Kumar. Despite the controversy, the convocation marked a significant milestone with 26,210 students receiving their degrees. Renowned music director Gurukiran and KS Rajanna, former commissioner under Karnataka’s Persons with Disabilities Act, were awarded honorary doctorates. Governor and Chancellor Thaawar Chand Gehlot were notably absent from the event. Sudhakar’s comments reflect ongoing tensions between state and national education policies, particularly regarding the viability of NEP’s ambitious reforms in the context of existing institutional challenges.

Universities Can Now Take Admissions Twice A Year: UGC Chairman

Leave a Comment / By / Education Community

Indian universities and higher education institutions (HEIs) will now be allowed to conduct admissions twice a year, akin to foreign universities, announced UGC chief Jagadesh Kumar. The two admission cycles will be scheduled for July-August and January-February, starting from the 2024-25 academic session, according to a report by news agency PTI. “If Indian universities can offer admission twice a year, it will benefit many students such as those who missed admission to a university in the July-August session due to a delay in the announcement of board results, health issues, or personal reasons,” Kumar told PTI. “Biannual university admissions will help students maintain motivation since they do not have to wait one full year to be admitted if they miss admission in the current cycle. With biannual admissions in place, industries can also do their campus recruitment twice a year, improving employment opportunities for the graduates,” he added. The UGC chief elaborated that biannual admissions will facilitate higher education institutes (HEIs) in better planning their resource allocation, including faculty, labs, classrooms, and support services. This streamlined approach is expected to enhance the operational efficiency of universities. “Universities worldwide already follow a biannual admission system. If Indian HEIs adopt the biannual admission cycle, our HEIs can enhance their international collaborations and student exchanges. As a result, our global competitiveness will improve, and we will align with the global educational standards,” Kumar said. “If HEIs adopt biannual admissions, they need to work on administrative intricacies, good planning for increased use of available resources, and providing seamless support systems for the smooth transition of students admitted at dissimilar times of the year. HEIs can maximize the usefulness of biannual admissions only when they sufficiently prepare faculty members, staff, and students for the transition,” he added. Kumar, however, clarified that offering biannual admissions will not be mandatory for universities. HEIs with the necessary infrastructure and teaching faculty can choose to utilize this opportunity at their discretion. “Offering biannual admissions will not be mandatory for the HEIs, it is the flexibility that UGC provides to the HEIs which want to increase their student intake and offer new programs in emerging areas. To be able to admit students twice a year, HEIs must make suitable amendments to their institutional regulations,” he said.

Educational exchanges build crucial bridges for mutual understanding, learning, and friendships, said DC Manjunath, the Consul General of India in Houston, as he inaugurated two Indian pavilions at the 76th NAFSA 2024 Conference & Expo — the world’s largest international annual education event — in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Indian delegation, consisting of over 40 major academic institutions, both public and private, had a significant presence at the conference held from May 28-31. This participation highlighted the potential of Indian education and fostered international and India-US collaboration. The event, which promotes international education and exchange, brought together 10,000 delegates from more than 110 countries under the theme “Resilience. Renewal. Community.” It positioned NAFSA as a platform for global communities working together to foster resilience in the post-pandemic era, support education renewal, and build stronger local and global communities. Consul General Manjunath inaugurated the Study in India pavilion and the India Pavilion booths at the expo. The Study in India pavilion was hosted by Educational Consultants India Limited (EdCIL), under the aegis of the Union Ministry of Education, and comprised the National Book Trust and public higher education institutions. The India Pavilion, under the Education Promotion Society for India (EPSI), featured 28 reputable private higher education institutes, represented by 62 delegates led by Prof. Rajive Kumar, the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) member secretary, and Dr. Prashant Bhalla, senior vice-president of EPSI. Attendees at the Study in India pavilion explored diverse academic opportunities in India and discussed academic cooperation between India and the US. Manjunath emphasized that India has a robust education system equipped with high-quality research facilities and that Indian institutions are broadening their global footprint. He noted that India has become a one-stop destination for technologies such as data science and cybersecurity. “Both Study in India and the India Pavilion are a reflection of India’s commitment to becoming a global education hub and attracting international students to pursue higher education opportunities in the country,” Manjunath said. “Educational exchanges build crucial bridges for mutual understanding, learning, and friendship, which are more important than ever,” he added. On the sidelines of the conference, the consulate, in association with the education ministry and SVVS Temple Society, New Orleans, organized “India’s Higher Education Partnership & Dialogue,” highlighting India’s economic growth, educational system development, new opportunities in universities under India’s new National Education Policy 2020, and the empowerment of women in education. The event was attended by Ministry of Education Joint Secretary Sanjog Kapoor, Ministry of Education Director Varun Bhardwaj, and EdCIL Executive Director Dr. B Chandrasekar, among others. Several other Indian universities and academic institutions also participated independently, exploring diverse educational opportunities, connecting with representatives of elite institutions, and discovering a world of educational possibilities in India. The participating institutions signed MoUs with universities in the US, Europe, Canada, Japan, with a focus on STEM and management programs. They also shared ideas for mutual academic collaboration and partnership for student exchange and faculty mobility to enhance curriculum and teaching in graduate and postgraduate programs. “NAFSA 2024 showcased their academic programs and research opportunities, fostering international collaborations and partnerships, enhancing global reputation, attracting international students, and promoting cross-cultural exchanges,” a delegate said. “Additionally, it offers opportunities for faculty and student exchange programs, collaborative research projects, and sharing of best practices in education, thereby enriching the educational experience and global perspective of Indian students and educators,” the delegate added. The Study in India delegates met with the academic leadership of the Louisiana School of Health Sciences and Tulane University to design and develop postgraduate programs in frontier areas such as climate science finance, sustainability, bioinformatics, public health, tropical medicine, and AI applications in healthcare.

Dheepan Thangavelu, Vice Chairman, Sri Shakthi International School expressed upon the importance of traditional education

Leave a Comment / By / Interviews

“Our higher educational institutions leverage digital platforms, particularly in computer science training programs, enabling students to develop skills through practical applications” Said Dheepan Thangavelu Can you provide more information about the Shakthi Group of Institutions? Certainly! The Shakthi Group of Institutions began as a higher educational institution with our campus located in Nambur Engineering College, catering to around 5,000 students. In 2017, we expanded by establishing a CBSE school campus in Avinashi. Currently, we also operate five play schools as part of our network. From kindergarten to doctoral programs, we offer a comprehensive educational journey under the banner of Shakthi. How is your institution adapting to the transformation of education into a more digital format, and what benefits have you observed? While digital education is beneficial for higher education, we maintain a focus on traditional methods for our schools. Our higher educational institutions leverage digital platforms, particularly in computer science training programs, enabling students to develop skills through practical applications. However, we believe in a gradual introduction to digital learning, especially for younger students. What sustainable education modules is your institution implementing, and what initiatives have been successful so far? We prioritize sustainability education, including initiatives such as water conservation and environmental preservation. Our campus boasts eco-friendly features, including a 25-acre campus with over 5,500 plants and a rainwater harvesting system. Additionally, we offer programs like the Middle School externship, where students engage in sustainable development projects. At the college level, we emphasize tree plantation initiatives. What factors do parents consider when enrolling their children in schools, particularly at Shakthi Group of Institutions? Parents value a holistic learning environment that connects children with nature, provides a supportive atmosphere, and fosters strong teacher-student relationships. At Shakthi, our initiatives, such as morning Zumba dance activities and various engaging programs, create a happy and conducive learning environment for children. What were your takeaways from the New Normal Education Leadership Summit and Awards event, and how do such forums benefit society at large? Participating in events like the New Normal Education Leadership Summit offers valuable networking opportunities and insights into diverse educational practices. It broadens perspectives, fosters collaboration, and allows educators to address common challenges collectively. These forums facilitate knowledge exchange and contribute to the overall improvement of the education sector. Any message you’d like to convey to ArdorComm Media Group? I commend ArdorComm Media Group for its visionary initiatives, particularly in organizing events that bring together education stakeholders. Choosing Katur as the venue reflects an understanding of the region’s significance as an education hub. I look forward to future collaborations and appreciate the support offered by Arco Media Group. Thank you for this opportunity.

Dr. T. V. Christy, Vice Chancellor, Ponnaiyah Ramajayam Institute of Sc. & Tech. Vallam talked about four pillars of the New Education Policy (NEP)

Leave a Comment / By / Interviews

“The New Normal is about being student-centric. Education should focus on where graduates go after graduation, anticipating their future needs. ” said  Dr. T. V. Christy Could you tell us more about your group of institutions? I am from The Ponnaiyah Ramajayam Institute of Science and Technology, famously known as PRIST deemed to be University, recognized by the University Grants Commission. It is located in Thanjavur, and we run programs in various disciplines, including engineering, arts and science, agriculture, pharmacy, and law. When we talk about sustainability in education, what special initiatives have been taken by your institution? We have empowered our students by first making them aware of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We conduct various sessions to ensure that our students and faculty members understand the importance and significance of these SDGs. Our management is very particular about integrating these goals into our educational practices. Regarding education policy implementations, what initiatives or developments have you undertaken? The four pillars of the New Education Policy (NEP) can be summarized as AE AQ: Accessibility, Equity, Accountability, and Quality. We ensure that these principles form the basis of our NEP implementation in our campuses. If the first three (Accessibility, Equity, Accountability) are in place, Quality naturally follows. What are the leading roles of your institution in terms of the incubation center and industry engagement? One of our best practices is ensuring that every faculty member is in touch with a minimum of two industries. For example, in a department with 15 faculty members, we have connections with 30 industries. Faculty members develop relationships with industry professionals, bring them to address students, and ultimately establish memorandums of understanding. This approach brings industry-oriented skills meaningfully into our university. What does the term ‘New Normal’ mean to you in the context of education? The New Normal is about being student-centric. Education should focus on where graduates go after graduation, anticipating their future needs. The goal is to foresee the skills and knowledge they will require three to four years after graduating and adapt our educational practices accordingly. This forward-thinking approach is what I consider the New Normal. How do forums like this, which bring together representatives from schools, higher education, skill education, technical education, and tech companies, benefit the society at large? I’m really touched by the name “ARCOM.” It stands for Community, Aspiration, Reimagination, Digitalization, Opportunity, and Readiness. These are exactly what we need in today’s educational scenario. Such forums motivate students and ensure they serve the community. Bringing industry leaders and educational leaders together provides a platform for sharing best practices and learning from each other. It’s an excellent initiative that should continue. Any message for ArdorComm Media Group? Continue your efforts and gather feedback from participants. Learn from any challenges or difficulties faced in conducting this program and strive to improve in future events. Bringing together industry and educational institutions on one platform is a mammoth task, and you are doing an exceptional job. Congratulations! Any final thoughts? Thank you so much for inviting me to this forum. It was a pleasure and honor to participate. Your efforts in connecting different stakeholders in education are commendable. Thank you.
