Outcome Budget 2016‐17 Executive Summary

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Higher Education is the most powerful tool to build a knowledge-based society for the
future. The enormity of the challenge of providing equal opportunities for quality higher education
to an ever-growing number of students is also a historic opportunity for correcting sectoral and
social imbalances, reinvigorating institutions, crossing international benchmarks of excellence and
extending the frontiers of knowledge.
Recognizing this requirement, as well as the basic fact that institutions of higher learning
have to perform multiple roles like creating new knowledge, acquiring new capabilities and
producing an intelligent human resource pool, the Indian higher education system has to brace itself
to address global challenges by channelizing teaching, research and extension activities, and
maintaining the right balance between need and demand. Higher education needs to be viewed as a
long-term social investment for the promotion of economic growth, cultural development, social
cohesion, equity and justice.
Education being on the concurrent list of subjects (List-III - Entry 25) the Central
Government has powers for coordination and determination of standards in institutions of higher
education or research, and scientific and technical institutions. The role of Ministry of Human
Resource Development, Department of Higher Education, therefore, includes policy formulation,
programme implementation, coordination with other sectors, data management, training and
capacity building, development of disadvantaged sections, women and minorities, etc. For the
purpose of discharging these responsibilities, it has established statutory bodies such as,
 Universities Grants Commission – for coordination, determination and maintenance of
standards in higher education,
 All India Council for Technical Education – for proper planning and coordinated
development of technical education system throughout the country
The Government of India has various Centrally Funded Institutions (Central Universities,
IITs, NITs, IISERs, Institutes of National Importance etc) receive generous funding from the Centre
with a view to increase access, equity, quality and excellence, relevance and value based education.
The government totally funds capacity building of institutions, providing scholarships to students

and scholars and salary of faculty and staff of institutions under its administrative control. The
institutions, however, enjoy institutional and academic autonomy and managerial flexibility with
effective monitoring and overall accountability to the boards. The funds to the Institutions are
audited by the CAG. In addition to this, there is a Centrally Sponsored Scheme RUSA for bringing
qualitative improvement in approximately 306 State Universities and 8500 Colleges under them with
50% funding from the Centre. Another Centrally Sponsored Scheme, Technical Education Quality
Improvement Programme-II (TEQIP-II), envisages to bring qualitative changes in State-aided
technical institutions which is proposed to be converted as a Central Sector Scheme under TEQIP-
III.
Gender Budgeting
A Gender Budget Cell has been set up in the Ministry of HRD with the intention of
implementation and committing to various Gender Responsive Budgeting (GRB) initiatives with
the objective of influencing and effecting a change in the Ministry’s policies, programmes in a way
that could tackle gender imbalances, promote gender equality and development and ensure that
public resources through the Ministry budget are allocated and managed accordingly.” Gender
Budgeting is a means of ensuring that public resources are allocated in an equitable way so that the
most pressing needs of specific gender groups are satisfied.
Reforms Measures
A Higher Education Financing Agency (HEFA) with an initial capital base of 1000 crores is
proposed to be set up. A digital depository of School Leaving Certificates, College Degree,
Academic Awards and Marks Sheets is proposed to be set up and enabling Regulatory Architecture
will be provided to 10 Public and Private Institutions to emerge as world class teaching and research
institutions.
The Outcome Budget 2016-17 of the Department gives an over-view of the objectives,
financial outlays, quantifiable deliverables and projected outcomes as well as processes/timelines of
the major schemes of this Ministry. The Outcome Budget has been divided into various chapters as

Outcome Budget 2016-17 Chapter-III-Major Reform Measures & Policy Initiatives
CHAPTER III
MAJOR REFORM MEASURES AND POLICY INITIATIVES
Higher & Technical Education:
The improvement in higher education is being brought through restructuring academic

programmes to ensure their relevance to current requirements of the society; domestic and
global linkages with employers and external advisory resource support groups and tracer
studies; greater emphasis on recruitment of adequate and good quality teachers; complete
revamping of teaching/learning methods by shifting from traditional repetitive experiments to
open-ended design-oriented work for encouraging invention and research; compulsory
interactive seminar-tutorials, broadening the content of science and engineering programmes
to strengthen fundamental concepts, improving learning opportunities and conditions by
updating text books and learning material; and improving self-directed learning with modern
aids and development of IT network. Further, the major challenge before the technical
education system is one of access, equity and quality.
Several initiatives aimed at restructuring the higher education system

(general/technical) and making it relevant to the present needs have also been taken up by the
Department during the period under report. The details of such steps are given below.
Consultation process for formulating New Education Policy(NEP)
Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), Government of India has undertaken an

unprecedented collaborative, multi-stakeholder and multi-pronged consultation process for
formulating the New Education Policy (NEP). The efforts are aimed towards bringing out a
New Education Policy to meet the changing dynamics of the population’s requirement with
regard to quality education, innovation and research, aiming to make India a knowledge
superpower by equipping its students with the necessary skills and knowledge and to
eliminate the shortage of manpower in science, technology, academics and industry. The
three-pronged consultation process included online, grassroots and national level thematic
deliberations. An extensive, time-bound, participative, bottom-up consultative process across
nearly 2.5 lakh Gram Panchayats, 6600 Blocks, 6000 Urban Local Bodies, 676 districts and
36 States/Union Territories was carried out between May to October, 2015. The Govt. of
India has constituted a Committee for Evolution of the New Education Policy and the
suggestions received on the 33 themes identified for consultations across both school
education and higher education have been forwarded to the Committee. The Committee will
examine the outcome documents, recommendations and suggestions received and formulate a
Draft National Education Policy as well as a Framework for Action (FFA).
56

National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF)
It has been launched by the Ministry of Human Resource Development on 29th September
2015. The ranking framework evaluates each higher education institution on 5 broad
parameters namely teaching/learning resources, research, graduation outcomes,
outreach/inclusive nature and the public perception. The Ranks will be declared on the first
Monday of April every year. An independent body is being proposed to undertake this work
based on objective and verifiable criteria. So far, 2500 institutions covering engineering,
management, pharma, architecture and universities have registered for participation in the
ranking and are submitting data. Participation in the NIRF would help the Indian educational
institutions participate in the world rankings with greater confidence.
Global Initiative of Academic Networks (GIAN) Programme

Global Initiative for Academics Network (GIAN) in Higher Education has been launched on
30th November, 2015 by the Ministry of Human Resource Development. The Programme
seeks to invite distinguished academicians, entrepreneurs, scientists, experts from premier
institutions across the world, to teach in higher educational institutions in India. The scheme
envisages garnering the best international experience into our system of education and
enabling interaction of students and faculty with the best academic and industry experts from
all over the world. Under this programme, 337 courses have been approved from over 160
institutions in the world. Collaboration with over 32 countries is going on to attract the best
international talent. All such courses are also expected to be transmitted on-line and/or video
recorded for others to view later through the local and national GIAN portal and the National
Digital Library. The cost of the travel and honorarium ranging from $8,000 - $12,000 is being
met from the scheme funds. These courses are being looked at as a starting point of long-term
research collaboration between Indian Institutions and the other Global institutions and
therefore signal a major chapter in the higher education system.
Study Webs of Active-Learning for Young Aspiring Minds (SWAYAM)
It is a Web portal where Massive Open On-line Courses (MOOCs) will be available on all
kinds of subjects. SWAYAM is the Indian electronic e-education platform which proposes to
offer courses from the high school stage to Post-Graduate stage in an interactive electronic
platform. The IT platform for SWAYAM is going to be built and is expected to be
operationalized by 31st March 2016 with a capacity to host nearly 2,000 courses. This would
provide the best quality education to more than three crore students across the country. The
system would allow 10 lakh students using the system concurrently. Once it becomes
operational, students from the backward rural areas can access teaching from the best
institutes in the country electronically, thereby, raising the overall standards of higher
education in the country. SWAYAM-MOOCs project is intended to address the needs of
school level 9-12 to Under Graduate and Post Graduate students, covering all disciplines.
57

Unnat Bharat Abhiyaan:
Unnat Bharat Abhiyan has been launched for connecting higher education and society to
enable technology and its use for development of rural areas. Under this all technical and
higher education institutions will adopt five villages each; identify technology gaps and
prepare plans for innovations that could substantially increase the skills, incomes and growth
in the rural areas.
Ucchtar Aavishkar Abhiyaan :
For promotion of innovation, all the IITs have been encouraged to work with the industry to
identify areas where innovation is required and come up with solutions that could be brought
up to the commercialization level. For this purpose, it is proposed to launch a scheme Ucchtar
Aavishkar Abhiyan by investing on identified projects proposed by IITs and NITs.
Participation of industry in part-funding the project would be mandatory
Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya National Mission on Teachers and Teaching

It has been launched on 25.12.2014. With the fast paced expansion of the education system in
the country, improving quality has come to occupy centre stage in educational development.
Needless to say that teachers hold the key for success of any effort in this direction. Attention,
therefore, has to be focussed on the preparation of teachers and their working conditions in
classrooms, schools and colleges, as also their continuous professional development, ensuring
that best talent in the country are made available to shape the future generations. The Mission
consists of the following components: Schools of Education in Central Universities (30 Nos.);
Centres of Excellence for Curriculum and Pedagogy (50 Nos.) which includes Centres of
Excellence in Science and Mathematics Education (5 Nos.), Teaching Learning Centres (25
Nos.), Faculty Development Centres (20 Nos.); Inter-University Centre for Teachers
Education (2 Nos.); National Resource Centre for Education (1 Nos.); Centres of Academic
Leadership and Education Management (5 Nos.); Innovations, Awards and Teaching Resource
Grant, including workshops and seminars; and Subject Networks for Curricular Renewal and
Reforms. A total of 27 proposals from various Universities/Institutes from all over the country
have been approved by PAB till date for setting up institutional arrangements under various
components of the Scheme. The component wise break up of approved institutions is: School
of Education – 3, CESME – 3, TLC- 11, FDC- 3, Innovations- 4, Institutions of Academic
Leadership- 2 and Workshop-1.
IMPRINT (Impacting Research Innovation & Technology):
With a view to define the research agenda for the higher educational institutions, President
and the PM have launched the IMPRINT India initiative. This initiative ensures that the
higher educational institutions conduct research that is socially relevant and thereby contribute
to the economic growth of the society as a whole. Under this, 10 domains have been identified
which could substantially impact the living standards of the rural areas: (i) health care
technology, (ii) energy security, (iii) rural urban housing design, (iv) Nano technology, (v)
water/river system, (vi) advanced materials, (vii) computer science and ICT, (viii)
58

manufacturing technology, (ix) advanced security and (x) environment/climate change. With a
view to promote research in these fields, it is proposed to allocate an amount of Rs. 50 Cr in
the BE 2016-17. The projects under IMPRINT would be joint MHRD-DST projects.
Promoting Start-ups:
37 new start-up parks/research parks would be set up this year with the coordination of Dept
of Science and Technology (fund sharing on 50:50 basis) covering all the IITs, NITs and
some IIITs/Central Universities. These would incubate the start-ups and hand-hold them till
they reach the stage of commercialization, normally for a period of five years. IIT Madras
Research Park has already become fully functional.
Technical Education for unemployed Youth:
With a view to ensure that the existing infrastructure in the engineering and polytechnic
colleges is used in spreading engineering skills among the unemployed youth, a new
programme called Technical Skills to Unemployed Youth will be launched under the overall
framework of Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojna (PMKVY). It is proposed to involve all
engineering and polytechnic institutions in this effort and thereby aim to train 10 lakh youth in
engineering skills over the next 3 years.
Campus Connect
Under Campus Connect programme, all the Central Universities in the country are going to be
connected through WIFI network at a cost of approximately Rs.320 crores. Under this, all the
classrooms, libraries, laboratories, hostels and places frequented by the students would be
connected through a secured WIFI hotspots providing access to the educational and
information resources to the students on 24x7 basis. This project will be implemented by
ERNET and is expected to be completed by June 2016.
Credit framework for Skills and Education
Launch of the Credit framework for Skills and Education as per the National Skills
Qualification framework is paving the way for certification of skills through the formal
system and allowing for multiple exits and entrance into the education system with scope for
vertical and lateral mobility. The Choice Based Credit System will enable students to take
courses of their choice, learn at their own pace, undergo additional courses and acquire more
than the required credits, and adopt an interdisciplinary approach to learning. CBCS will
enable the students to opt for employable courses through a system of flexible credits for
foundational, elective and core courses. All 39 Central Universities are implementing the
CBCS system from 2015‐16. Major State Universities like Madras University, Chennai,
Bharathiar University, Coimbatore, Bharathidasan University, Tiruchirapalli, Osmania
University, Hyderabad, University of Bombay, Mumbai, SNDT Women’s University,
Mumbai, M.S. University of Baroda, Vadodara Lucknow University, Lucknow, Guru Nanak
Dev University, Amritsar, Himachal Pradesh University, Shimla and Gauhati University,
Guwahati are also going to implement CBCS from the next academic session.

possible keeping in view the balances available with the institutions/organizations,
their pace of expenditure and their requirement of funds. With effect from 1st October,
108

2005 the Department has been covered under the Monthly Expenditure Plan (MEP) and
Quarterly Expenditure Allocation (QEA). The Department had projected a cash
requirement of 25% for Plan funds and 25% for Non-Plan funds during each of the four
quarters during the year 2015-16. The Department had broadly spent according to this

and the target up to March 2016 is given in Appendix-IV.
5.7. The department is also regularly monitoring the receipt of Utilization Certificates
from the Grantee institutions. A data base has been created and necessary steps have
been taken to ensure that no fresh grants are released to the institutions against whom
the Utilization Certificates for the past grants are still pending. As on 1.4.2015,
Utilization Certificates for an amount of ` 1613.08 crore were pending. Due to persistent
efforts at the Departmental level and through CCA’s office, 41845 Utilization
Certificates worth ` 1488.85 crore were obtained and Utilization Certificates for an
amount of ` 124.22 crore were still pending as on 31.12.2015. The status of outstanding
Utilization Certificates is at Appendix-V.

being reviewed from time to time. Review of unspent balances with State Governments
and autonomous bodies is monitored in the Department every quarter. Release of
further grants is subject to utilization of earlier grants released earlier and also on the
basis of progress of expenditure. The unspent balances are invariably taken into
consideration while releasing the further Grants to these institutions. The position of
unspent balance for 2013-14, 2014-15 and 2015-16 are given in Appendix-VI.
