UGC stops research projects due to lack of funds from central govt -Basant Kumar Mohanty

-The Telegraph

According to the annual reports, funding for the scheme has been declining over the past five years as it has been declared 'closed'

The University Grants Commission has stopped several research projects while some are lying dormant allegedly because of lack of funds from the Centre.

The Major Research Project (MRP) of higher education regulator UGC is a case in point.

According to the annual reports of the UGC, funding for the scheme has been declining over the past five years as it has been declared “closed”.

The number of existing beneficiaries has been decreasing as researchers finish their projects.

A retired academic blamed poor research proposals for the decline in funding.

The UGC secretary is yet to respond to a query from this newspaper on the closure of the projects.

The UGC website suggests that around half a dozen other research promotion schemes have been shelved.
