UGC or
University Grants Commission was established in 1956 by Government of India to
improve the standard of University level education in India. Its objective was
to enhance the quality of education which is provided by the institutions after
class 12 level. Its work is to regulate the colleges, give recognition to
Institutions providing education after class 12 level and to promote equal
education by providing funds to Institutions and Universities for easy
facilitation of enhancement of University level Education. It also provides
scholarships, grants to meritorious students all over India for thepromotion of studies at different levels after
class 12th.
The
scholarships are provided through different schemes and scholarships programs
to students. The scholarships are provided to students at Under-Graduation
Level, Post-Graduation Level, Ph.D.
level. The students of theweaker economic
background are the ones mostly getting the scholarship. The focus of UGC is on
providing University Education to students who can't afford higher education
but if they are provided education means then they can certainly improve the
scenario of Research and Development works of Country. Around 20,000 students
are provided scholarships every year by UGC. Scholarships and Grants are also
provided to teachers who are into research and development.
Earlier UGC
used to use manual mode for scholarship and grants distribution but after MHRDs
notice, the mode of providing scholarship
was shifted to digital. MHRD or Ministry of Human Resource Development has
decided to provide scholarships through Direct Benefits Transfer (DBT) mode.
Distribution of scholarships will be done through Public Financial Management System. A portal has been set-up for migration and
legacy problems in DBT mode. A portal has also been setup for tracking of
grants and scholarships stage of payment and document verification.
The MHRD
has also allotted a phone number (01123235640) and an email id
(ugcfellowship.ugc@gmail.com) to help students regarding their doubts and
problems relating to disbursal of fellowships, grants,
and scholarships. According to the new system, UGC scholarships will be transferred directly into the student's
bank account which has to be linked with AADHAR for Identity Verification. In case AADHAR is not present, than any other government document has to be
presented for verification of Identity. Satta matka
