In its attempt to better the quality of management services offered at colleges, the University Grants Commission (UGC) has once again requested universities across country to introduce e-governance system. The move has been aimed at introducing reliable Management Information Systems (MIS), using which functioning of educational institutes can be monitored.

A circular in this regard was issued in the last week of April, wherein UGC announced the availability of a dedicated e-schemes portal and requested universities to register themselves on it to avail the various schemes. This is UGC’s second attempt at implementing e-governance. The previous attempt had to be scrapped due to irregularities.
