NEW UNIVERSITIEST h e Com m ission’s views and policy regard ing the estab lishm en t o f

new universities were sta ted in the earlie r reports. T h e C om m ission is o f the opinion th a t no new university be established w ithou t very c a re ­ful exam ination o f all re levan t facts an d reasonable assurance a b o u t the availability o f funds, com peten t sta ff an d o ther basic pre-requisites. T he over-rid ing considera tion should be th a t the establishm ent o f a new university w ould effectively help in im prov ing the stand ards o f education an d research.

T h e Com m ission has em phasized th a t no university should be esta­b lished w ithou t p rio r consultation w ith the U G C . I t is obvious tha t in dealing w ith the question of establishing a new university, the p rinc i­ples o f university structure, o rgan ization an d policy, it is necessary to m a in ta in co -o rd ina tion on an all In d ia level, an d this is a specific function of the U G C in the field o f h ig h er education .

T h e proposal of the S ta te G overnm ent of U tta r P radesh for the establishm ent o f a university a t N ain ita l (K u m a o n U niversity ) w as agreed, to by the C om m ission on recom m endation of its com m ittee w h ich consi­d e red the m a tte r in all its re levan t aspects. T h e Com m ission also agreed to the establishm ent o f universities a t S am balpur and B erham pur in view o f the special circum stances o f the O rissa S tate. T h e C om m ission recom m ended to the S tate G overnm ent tha t one o f the universities, preferably, the U tka l U niversity , be m a d e a fed era l/u n ita ry type of university, the o th e r tw o being o f the teaehing-cum -affiliating type.

T h e C om m ission considered a p roposal received from the S ta te G overnm ent o f K era la for the estab lishm ent o f two new universities a t C a licu t and E rnaku lam . T h e p roposal was referred to the s tand ing com ­m ittee on new universities* . As advised by the U G C com m ittee on new universities, the Com m ission d id n o t agree to the p ro p osa l for estab lishm ent o f universities in G arh w al ( U t ta r P rad esh ) and a t D ayal B agh(A gra). T h e Com m ission agreed w ith the recom m endation o f the com m ittee th a t instead o f estab lish ing a un iversity in H im achal Pradesh, tw o university cen tres m ay be developed, one a t Solan, w here th e em phasis shou ld be on ag ricu ltu ra l education , and the o th e r a t S im la w hich should prov ide facilities for p o stg rad u a te studies in science, h um an ities and social sciences. I t was recom m ended th a t a p lann in g b o a rd should be set up to p rep are a p rog ram m e for the developm ent of the centres.

A com m ittee was appo in ted on the suggestion o f the S ta te G overn ­m ent o f B ihar to consider the proposal for the reo rgan isa tion o f the K am eshw ar S ingh D arb h an g a S ansk rit V ishvavidyalaya. T h e re p o rt o f the com m ittee was forw arded to the state governm ent for its views.

The Commission later considered the recommendations of ihe committee and expres­sed the view that there was need for two more universities in K e ra la State, a ‘ federal’ university at E rnakulam atid a ‘ leaching-cum -affiliating’ university at C a lic u t. I f the state government could not find adequate resotfrces for seUing-up two u n iv e r­sities in tin' near future, as is likely, considering the relatively large resources required for the purpose, the programme should be phased and, in that case, C a lic u t m ay l>e given the first p riority.

Summer Institutes fo r Talented, Students

Tw o summer institutes, one each in chem istry and mathematics wer* organised in 1967-68 under the auspices of the Pan jab and M adurai Universities for talented undergraduate students. F iftythree students selected on an all-India basis attended these institutes in 1967-68. These institutes are intended to give advanced instruction, through specially designed courses to selected undergraduate students.

Summer Institutes in Social Sciences

O ne institute in political theory and behaviour was organised in 1967-68, under the auspices of the Bangalore University. T he purpose of this institute was to provide train ing in research methodology in the social sciences.

Assessment

T he program m e of summer institutes is reviewed every year in evahation conferences attended by the directors of the institutes and by cn-the-spot discussions by the m em bers of the science panels set-up by the National Council of Science Education. In the light of the reports furnshed by the directors of the institutes and the comments of the panel members, steps are being taken, wherever necessary, for further improvement o f the program m e.

T h e sieady increase in the n u m b e r of sum m er institutes, from 32 in 1964-65 to 120 in 1967-68, testifies the value that is attached to participation in such institutes by school and college teachers in the various disciplines in which they have been held. The number of participants rose from 640 in 1964-65 to 2,381 in 1967-68 in the summer institutes for school teachers. In those for college teachers, the increase in the same period was from 659 to 2.377.

In the light of this experience, follow-up activities designed to improve the standards of teaching in our schools and colleges are under active consideration. These include the m odernisation of curricula, preparation of new textbooks and m anuals to keep pace with new developments in various fields, and the improvement of laboratory equipment requ ired for m odern m ethods of teaching.

CONFERENCES AND COMMITTEESD uring the year under report, a num ber of conferences w ere con­

vened an d com m ittees constitu ted to exam ine im p o rta n t academ ic issues. In fo rm ation abou t these conferences and com m ittees is given below.Conference o f Vice-Chancellors

A conference o f vice-chancellors, convened by the M in istry of E ducation an d the U niversity G ran ts C om m ission, held in N ew D elhi on S eptem ber 11-13, 1967, considered the recom m endations o f the E ducation Com m ission (1964-66), m ore specifically those re la tin g to h igher education , an d issued the following sta tem en t :

1. T h e grav ity of the times, and the crucia l role o f education in n a tiona l developm ent, w elfare and security , serve to underscore the im perative an d im m ediate need o f s tren g th en ing universities, u p g rad in g the quality oi' education a n d link ing it closely to

18

the economic grow th of industry an d ag ricu ltu re . T h e u n iv e r­sities, ap a rt from their m ajo r role o f im p artin g an d a d v an c in g knowledge, have; a d irect ob ligation to p ro m o te a sense of com m on citizensh ip and culture, to vigorously fu rth e r n a tio n a l integral ion; and to m ake a d irec t co n trib u tio n to n a tio n a l p ro ­ductiv ity .

2. T h e resources at present m ade ava ilab le to un iversities an d colleges are totally inadequate in relation to th e ir tasks an d responsibilities. T h e conference would earnestly u rge the cen tra l and state governm ents to raise substan tia lly (a t least double w ith in the next five years) the level o f financia l assis­tance to universities and colleges. I f the resources a re to be edeetively utilised, universities shou ld have a m u ch g rea te r degree o f financial autonom y and con tro l in the m a tte r of deploym ent: of the funds m ade available to them .

3. T h e conference agreed th a t high p rio rity should be given to the developm ent of lib raries, laborato ries, provision o f ‘read in g seats’, provision for hostels and sta ff quarters , o rg an isa tio n o f a co n tribu to ry health scheme for studen ts and teachers and b e lte r conditions o f service and work.

4. T h e conference welcomed the suggestion reg ard in g se tting -up of developm ent panels in un iversities an d colleges lo process the exam ination and im p lem en tation o f the recom m endations of the E ducation Commission.

5. T h e contVven.ee considered the question o f the p lace o f reg ional languages in h igher education an d affirm ed its conviction that energetic development o f Indian languages and literature is vital f o r the promotion o f higher education and national culture generally. T h e sub ­ject of change-over of m edium of education to reg iona l languages, the conference stressed, cou ld only b e co n sid ered as an integral p a rt of a delibera te policy and p lan w ith a view to im proving the quality of education , p rom oting c rea tiv ity an d national in teg ra tio n and bring ing education closer to th e needs and asp ira tion of the com m unity.

6 . The conference mas in general agreement with the recommendations o f the Education Commission with regard lo change-over in the medium

o f education. But higher education is a closely in teg ra ted system and any m odification, such as a change in the m e d iu m o f ed u ­cation, w ould have a d irect effect on o ther parts o f the system . T h e conference recognised th a t the change-over in the m ed iu m o f education , if properly carried out, w ould be a m a jo r step tow ards im provem ent of h igher education and tow ards streng ­then ing of its roots in our soil. T h e p ro g ram m e should be pursued in a sustained and system atic m anner. T h e conference endorsed the statem ent of the E ducation M in is te r th a t “ the p rogram m e of changc-over to reg ional languages as m e d ia of education will have to vary from university to un iversity , from

19

subject to subject, and even from institution to institution, inthe same university. T he criteria in each case should be that the change-over helps, a t every stage, to raise standards.” The m anner and speed of the change-over should be left to the university. This was in accordance w ith the recom m endation of the Education Commission, and was reiterated by the E du­cation M inister in his address to the conference.

7. T he conference felt that at the undergraduate stage, the change­over in the m edium of education to regional languages, could be carried through in about five to ten years, depending on the degree of p reparatory work already done, on the nature of the subject and other relevant factors. In the program m e of change­over the im portance of English should be fully recognised and adequate arrangem ents m ade for its study at the undergraduate level.

8. At the postgraduate and research level the question of “m edium of education” loses its usual m eaning, as students will have to depend, for instance, in science, medicine and technology, on books and journals in English and other im portant world languages (because of the universality and rapid grow th of know ledge).

9. In the case of all-Ind ia institutions, the present arrangem ents regarding the medium of education may continue, as recom­mended by the Education Commission.

10. In the case of large cities, w ith m ulti-lingual population, the medium of education may continue to be English, in addition to the regional languages which the university would provide.

T he University G rants Commission agreed w ith the above recom m en­dations of the vice-chancellors’ conference and decided to take steps to implement, as early as possible, the im portant recommendations m ade by the Education Commission (1964-66) relating to exam ination reform, improvement of curricula and teaching methods etc. T he suggestion regarding the setting-up of development panels concerned with the form u­lation of programmes of educational reform and development in the universities, and the determ ination of priorities w ithin the fram ework of available resources was also welcomed. T he Commission while concur­ring w ith the statem ent adopted by the vice-chancellors regarding the m edium of instruction, generally emphasised the need for adequate p repara­tory work in this regard and stressed that the m anner and pace of the change-over in the m edium should be left to the university system, and it should be a p a r t of the general program m e of im provem ent of standards.

Advisory Committee o f Vice-Chancellors

A n important step towards strengthening relations between U G C and the universities was the setting-up bv the Commission of an advisory com m ittee of vice-chancellors (consisting of 16 vice-chancellors). T he com m ittee would m eet two or three times in a year. It would advise

20

the Commission on m atters regarding development of higher education, coordination between different universities of specialised facilities for postgraduate studies and research, and other problems engaging the attention of the universities and the Commission.

T he advisory committee a t its meeting held in M arch , 1968, generally supported the introduction of the semester system in the universities, and the institutions of visiting professorships and visiting studentships. The committee, interalia, emphasised that a much bigger allocation of funds for higher education was necessary to raise its quality and link it w ith national needs.

M eeting w ith Vice-Chancellors o f Southern Universities

T he Commission m et the vice-chancellors of southern universities at M adras in D ecem ber, 1967, to discuss some of the im portant recom m enda­tions of the Education Commission (1964-66) and of the conference of vice-chancellors held in September 1967. The following recom m enda­tions were m ade :

( i ) Development panels should be set up in the universities for indentifying priorities and coordinating developm ent of teach­ing and research in the light of the available resources and the special requirements of each university.

( ii) Since resources for development of higher education are limited, it would be necessary, during the next five or ten years to concentrate efforts on programmes for consolidation and im provem ent of standards of postgraduate education and research. T here is also a need to give adequate attention to the im provem ent of undergraduate education and to assess selected institutions in this field.

( iii) I t is necessary to examine the present arrangem ent for under­graduate education and to relate future developm ent in this field directly to the requirements of national development.

(iv ) I t would be desirable to explore the possibility of enabling postgraduate students to do a part of their work in institutions other than their own, where special facilities pertaining to such studies were available.

(v ) W hile facilities for sports and games should be provided in the universities and colleges, such a program m e should not be treated as an alternative to the N ational C adet Corps. NCC training should, on the whole, be voluntary and the national service scheme proposed to be introduced should be evolved by the universities themselves. In this process the teachers and the local com m unity should be involved.

Review Committees

As stated in the earlier reports of the Commission, a num ber of review committees were appointed to examine the existing syllabi and

21

facilities for teaching an d research in different disciplines, and to suggest fu rth e r im provem ents. T h e value and significance o f the w ork o f these review com m ittees is obvious in view of the rap id advance in various fields of know ledge. As a m a tte r of fact, there is a need for a continuing review o f the cu rren t academ ic courses and program m es, in order to keep pace w ith new developm ents.

. T h e reports of the review com m ittees concerned w ith the following subjects have been p rin ted an d m ade availab le to the universities:

DEVELOPMENT GRANTS TO COLLEGES

T he num ber of colleges rose from 2,572 in 1965-66 to 2,899 in 1967- 68. T he siudcnt enrolm ent in the affiliated colleges in 1967-68 was 16,59,655*, as against 2,59,317 in the university colleges and departm ents. This indicates th a t 86.5% of the students were enrolled in the affiliated colleges. T h e faculty-wise enrolm ent in the universities and affiliated colleges is shown in appendix X IV - Nearly 45% of the postgraduate students and 10% of the research scholars in various faculties were in the affiliated colleges. A bout 83% of the teachers in the field of higher edu­cation w ere w orking in the affiliated colleges. These facts indicate the urgency an d im portance of helping colleges to im prove their staff, equip­m ent, libraries, laboratories and other facilities. T he quality of university education in In d ia will largely depend on the standards m aintained by the affiliated colleges.

W ith in the resources available, the Commission has been providing assistance to colleges for various projects. A statem ent of the develop­m ent grants paid to the colleges during 1967-68 is given in appendix X V .

Postgraduate StudiesIn 1967-68, 467 colleges were conducting postgraduate courses in

various, scctovs of h igher education, and a significant proportion of post­g raduate students were receiving instruction in these colleges. T he Com­mission has been giving assistance, on a sharing basis w ithin prescribed ceilings, to selected colleges for the developm ent of postgraduate studies in science subjects and the hum anities and social sciences. G rants are pro­vided for add itional staff', teaching accom m odation, library and laboratory facilities etc. T he Commission docs not share expenditure on contin­gencies, non-teaching staff and the m aintenance of laboratories.

In 1967-68, g ran ts am ounting to Rs. 12.55 lakhs were paid to 53 colleges for the developm ent of postgraduate studies in science subjects. For the hum anities and social sciences, grants released to 59 colleges during the year am ounted to Rs. 6.17 lakhs.

Other Projects

T h e Commission continued to provide grants for selected arts, science and com m erce colleges, on a prescribed sharing basis, for the construction of libraries, laboratories, students’ and teachers’ hostels, non-resident students’ centres, and staff quarters, and for the purchase o f science equ ipm ent, books and journals. G rants for these purposes to a college are

In addition to the assistance m entioned above, foreign aid was also available from other sources and agencies. Inform ation abou t some o f the im portan t program m es relating to such assistance is given below.

U nited States P .L . 4g() Programme

As in previous years, assistance from the rupee funds o f the U nited States P. L. 480 Program m e was provided to a num ber of university departm ents and other institutions for specific research projects in agri­cu ltural, physical and biological sciences.

A national screening committee, w ith Professor D. S. K o th a ri as the chairm an, has been appointed by the G overnm ent of In d ia to scrutinise proposals, mainly in the physical and biological sciences, received from the universities and other research institutions, for support from the U nited States P. L. 480 funds. Du ring 1967-68, this com m ittee cleared 20 pro­posals received from the universities, w hich are estim ated to cost R s. 76.54 lakhs. Seven such proposals costing Rs. 23.03 lakhs were sent to the Ind ian C ouncil of M edical Research for clearance. Seventeen proposals, estim a­ted to cost Rs. 50.10 lakhs, were referred for clearance to the In d ian Council of A gricultural Research.

Colombo Plan

U nder the Colombo Plan, assistance is provided to each o ther for higher education/research bv countries, such as, A ustralia, C an ad a , Jap an , N ew Zealand, U nited K ingdom etc. T h is assistance covers exchange of expert personnel, supply of equipm ent and tra in ing of scholars.

In collaboration w ith the M inistry of E ducation and the M inistry o f Finance, D epartm ent o f Economic Affairs, support was given to some universities for their program m es of postgraduate teaching and research. Proposals were received from the universities for the services o f experts, train ing of Indian teachers abroad, and supply o f equipm ent, and these w ere forwarded to the M inistry of Finance. E ighteen proposals were accepted by the technical assistance selection com m ittee o f the M inistry o f Finance during 1967-68.

Exchange o f Visits by Scientists between U nited Kingdom and India

T he program m e for the exchange o f visits by young scientists, betw een In d ia and the U K , was sponsored in collaboration w ith the In d ian H igh Commission in the U nited Kingdom and the British Council. Since 1962, when the program m e was initiated, 40 scientists have so far exchanged visits, both ways. T he advisory committee for this p rogram m e considered the possibility of increasing the num ber o f partic ipan ts an d also the provision o f a few places for social scientists. U nder this program m e, during the year under review, six scientists from the U n ited K ingdom visited In d ia and six teachers from Ind ian universities visited the U nited K ingdom .

C ultural Exchange Programmes

U nder the program m es of cultural exchange, finalised by the G overn­m en t o f In d ia w ith the Governm ents of o ther countries, the Commission arranges exchange o f visits by educationists, teachers and scholars.

Such exchange program m es have been in operation between In d ia and Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Franco, the G erm an Dem ocratic Republic, the Federal R epublic of G erm any, H ungary, Poland, R um ania, U SSR , Y ugoslavia and the U nited Arab Republic. U nder these program m es visits by 75 foreign educationists/scholars to Ind ia have so far been arran g ed , as against visits bv 66 Ind ian teachers/ scholars to various countries. D uring 1967-68, 22 Ind ian teachers 'scholars visited different countries u n d er the item s of cultural exchange program m es assigned to th e Com mission for im plem entation, and 19 teachers scholars from various foriegn countries visited India. T h e Ind ian participants include young scholars and teachers, who go ou t for further tra in ing and research for sho rt periods, as well as others who visit im portan t centres o f study to give lectures and partic ipa te in seminars etc. Reciprocally, the visitors from abroad go to selected university centres and other institu tions in Ind ia , depending on their specialities. R eports are received by the Com mission from foreign partic ipants coming to In d ia and Ind ian p a rtic ip an ts going abroad.

T h e selection for partic ipation in the cu ltural exchange program m es a re m ade on the recom m endations o f a com m ittee constituted by the Commission.' T h e foreign partic ipants are selected by the countries con­cerned, an d th e ir p lacem ent and itinerary in In d ia are organised by the Com m ission, in consultation w ith the universities and laboratories to be v isited by them .

Other Programmes o f Foreign A id

Inform ation abou t certain o ther projects, involving foreign aid, is given below.

T h e N ational Scicnee Foundation o f USA agreed to provide a g ran t o f $ 40,000 for equipm ent to the N izam ia Observatory, H yderabad .

Professor Sam uel Devons, FRS, professor o f physics, Colum bia U niversity , New York, visited A ndhra U niversity, as Liverhulm e Professor. M r. R . A. M cK inlay , pro-vice-chancellor, U niversity of B radford visited Ind ia , un d er a program m e organised by the British Council.

U nder the Indo-U SSR Agreem ent of Econom ic and T echnical Co­operation, it is proposed to set up a specialised institu te o f earth sciences with Soviet assistance, in the departm ent o f geophysics, O sm ania U niver­sity, H yderabad . Professor M. I. Plusnin, head of the geological

32

departm ent, Biological Prospecting In stitu te , M oscow, visited Ind ia and helped in w orking ou t a de ta iled pro ject for starting a centre of exploration gcophysics in the O sm ania U niversity .

The G overnm ent o f In d ia agreed to a proposal of the U niversity of Delhi for receiving asssistance, over a period of about five years, to the extent of $ 5m illion, from the Ford Foundation. A reference to this was m ade in the last year’s report. T h is assistance is to be utilised for the developm ent of laboratories, libraries, construction of faculty and resi­dential buildings, institution of visiting professorships, deputation of teachers/scholars for tra in ing abroad, and the appo in tm en t of ad d it­ional staff. O f the total assistance from the Ford Foundation, about $ 1 m illion have been allocated for the developm ent o f libraries and $ 2.3 million for the im port of equipm ent for the science departm ents of the university.

T he proposal of the D elhi U niversity for accepting Ford Foundation assistance for the developm ent of the law faculty o f the university, ap art from the assistance of $ 5 m illion referred to above, has been accepted in principle. T he Commission has also concurred w ith the proposal of the Banaras H indu U niversity for utilisting assistance from the Ford Founda­tion for the developm ent of its law faculty.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE

I t was sta ted in the repo rt for 1966-67, th a t in view of the develop­m ent of specialised courses and the increase in the volume and diversity of research program m es, there is a pressing need for adequate foreign exchange, particularly for sophisticated equipm ent, w hich canno t a t present be fabricated wi th in the country . I t may, however, be em phasised tha t the foreign exchange provided to the universities has so far been very inade­quate in relation to the ir essential requirem ents. D uring 1967-68, the Governm ent o f Ind ia , released foreign exchange to the universities and colleges w orth Rs. 19.60 lakhs and Rs. 7.35 lakhs for im ports from the rupee paym ent area and the free resources area, respectively. This exchange was m ade available for equipm ent item s and accessories required for m ain­tenance and replacem ent. Licences were also issued by the G overnm ent o f Ind ia for the im port of books and jou rnals required by the universities and colleges. Bulk im port licences w ere given to the S tate T rad ing C or­poration by the G overnm ent o f In d ia for the im port o f equipm ent, required by educational institutions, from E ast European countries.

D uring the year under review, U N E SC O coupons w orth 520,000 were m ade available for the purchase of scientific equipm ent, chemicals etc., by the universities and colleges. T he proposals received in this regard were exam ined and sent to the Ind ian N ational Com mission for C oopera­tion w ith U N E SC O , w ith suitable recom m endations. U N ESC O coupons o f the value o f S 29,216 have so far been provided for the needs o f the universities and colleges. I t m ay be sta ted th a t the allocation of U N ESCO coupons has not been sufficient to m eet the total requirem ents of the institutions.

FUNDS

T he expend itu re on plan and non-plan projects during 1967-68 am ounted to Rs. 11.45 crores and Rs. 7.52 crores, respectively. T he break­up of the expenditure , under m ajor heads, is shown in appendix X V I.

I t was estim ated th a t the requirem ents for 1967-68 for p lan projects w ould be of the order of Rs. 14 crores for the continuing schemes, and R s. tw o crores for new schemes. Against this, the G overnm ent of Ind ia ag reed to a b u d g e t provision of Rs. 11 crores only for p lan projects, inclu­ding those re la ting to engineering and technology. T h e funds provided were far short o f requirem ents, and it became necessary to restrict severely expenditure on developm ent and to defer the im plem entation of a num ber of schemes and projects.

* * * *

O ver the last five years, from 1963-64 to 1967-68, the num ber of universities increased from 61 to 70, and of colleges from 2,111 to 2,899. D uring the same period the student enrolm ent in higher education rose from 13.85 lakhs to 22.16 lakhs, at the average rate of about 12 p er cent per annum . Tn 1963-64, the developm ent gran t m ade available to the U G G was Rs. 7.80 crores. T he g ran t for 1967-68 was Rs. 11 crores. T h e per capita expenditure on developm ent has sharply fallen in com parison w ith the rising enrolm ent and the increased cost of buildings, books, equipm ent and other essential facilities. W ithout some m inim um provision of basic tools of education, plans of educational developm ent can be little more than wishful thinking. I t cannot be gainsaid tha t expenditure on higher education has to be m uch more (in relation to the im portance and m agnitude o f the problem s facing the coun try ) th an w hat we are spending currently . T h e question of adequate resources is of crucial im portance, and the necessity for a substan tia l increase in the outlay on higher education requires no emphasis.

W ithin th e resources available, the Commission has m ade attem pts to m eet the challenge of the rising student enrolm ent, on the one hand, and the urgent need to improve the quality of higher education, on the o ther. In spite o f the paucity of resources, there has obviously been a significant increase in the volume and diversity of educational efforts a t various levels. T he developm ent grants disbursed by the Commission have helped the universities and colleges to provide the physical and academ ic facilities needed for advanced studies and research. M any of the review com m ittees, appointed by the Commission to exam ine the exist­ing syllabi and facilities for research in various subjects o f study, and to make suggestions for their im provem ent and m odernisation, have com ple­ted their work. T he reports of these committees are in tended to help the universities in reform ing their syllabi and im proving the. standards of teaching an d research. The program m e of sem inar and sum m er schools, sponsored by the Commission to acquaint teachers w ith new developments in their respective fields of work, has yielded gratifying results. Centres o f advanced study have been established and developed in order to enco­urage the ‘pursu it o f excellence’ a t the postgraduate and research levels. As in previous years, financial assistance was given to the universities

34

and colleges for strengthening their staff, equipm ent, lib raries, lab o ra ­tories and the expansion of other facilities. T he Commission con tinued to provide grants to teachers for research and learned w ork. T h e services of selected teachers are being utilised after the ir su p eran n u a tio n for teaching/research under a scheme approved by the Com mission.
