It is held on the 10th  of every month in all the 122 field offices of Employees' Provident Fund Organization  (EPFO)  and  is  presided  over  by  the  officer-in-charge.  It  is  an endeavour by the Organization to bring together all its different stakeholders on  a  common  platform.  The  various  new  initiatives  in  the  interest  of employees/employers  taken  by  the  Organization  are  explained  during  the programme. It encourages employees and employers to give their suggestions  and  feedback  regarding  the  different  issues  affecting  the Organization besides redressing grievances.

- (c): Nidhi  Aapke  Nikat  not  only  adopts  participatory  and  broad-based approach in dealing with its stakeholders, but also disseminates information regarding the new initiatives taken in their interest. Such measures shall, in due course, bring about greater public awareness  of the rights and responsibilities of all the stakeholders and will in turn, check the number of grievances. Further, with online platforms and access to services added, the need to physically visit the office is likely to decline.

## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT (Dr. MAHENDRA NATH PANDEY)

(a)  to  (d):  The  Central  Government  had  constituted  a  committee  under  the  chairmanship  of Prof. Arun Nigavekar on 24 th July, 2015 to examine issues related to attracting  and retaining talented and quality manpower in the teaching profession. The committee submitted its report on  4 th April,  2016.  On  the  basis  of  Prof.  Arun  Nigavekar  committee  recommendations,  the UGC notified the 3 rd Amendment to the Minimum Qualifications for Appointment of Teachers and other Academic Staff in Universities and Colleges and Measures for the Maintenance of Standards in Higher Education Regulations, 2016. The 3 rd Amendment regulations prescribed that  teachers  could  be  required  to  allocate  additional  six  hours  per  week,  beyond  the prescribed  hours  of  direct  teaching,  on  tutorials,  remedial  classes,  seminars,  administrative responsibilities,  innovation  and  updating  of  course  contents.  Further  review  of  APIs  by  the Central Government has led to the notification of the 4 th Amendment to the UGC Regulations, 2016  on  11 th July,  2016.  As  per  the  4 th Amendment Regulations,  2016,  the  direct  teaching hours  per  week  for  Assistant  Professor,  Associate  Professor  and  Professor  are  16,  14,  14 hours, respectively, which include lectures, tutorials, practical works, project supervision, field work etc.

Further, the 4 th Amendment has not prescribed any quantum of hours to be measured either in weeks or months for the teachers to work with students beyond the structure of class room teaching. However, teachers are encouraged to mentor, guide and counsel the students beyond  the  direct  teaching  hours  with  a  view  to  reinforce  a  student-centric  and  caring approach  in  higher  education.  The  hours  spent  on  such  purposes  are  not  included  in  the calculation of API scores though these activities, nevertheless, are important and significant which could be carried out by teachers.

- (e)   if so, the details thereof and if not, the reasons therefor?

## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT (DR. MAHENDRA NATH PANDEY)

(a) to (e) There  is  no  criteria  prescribed  for  grant  of  Central  University  status  to  a  State University. The Central Government has taken a policy decision not to convert State Universities into Central Universities for reasons of legacy issues, adjustment of existing staff and disaffiliation  of  affiliated  colleges.  During  the  12 th Plan  (2012-17),  as  approved  by  National Development Council, the thrust is on consolidation of the higher education system. Expansion would be mainly done by scaling up capacity of the existing institutions in place of setting up new institutions.  Accordingly,  no  proposal  to  accord  the  status  of  Central  University  to  any  State University is under consideration of the Government.
