The University Grants Commission (UGC) on Wednesday issued a notice directing all the chancellors and directors of the central and state universities funded by it and other deemed universities to update their data on the UGC website, an official said.
"UGC has created a website to maintain transparency and objectivity in making available our universities' database for national and international users in the domain of higher education and information, which is available at the touch of a key," said Ved Prakash, UGC chairman.
The current website of the UGC has created a webpage for each university, where the concerned university has been asked to update information of the university which will include number of teachers, student enrolment, budgetary allocations by the commission, grants released and UGC certificates.
"The UGC is creating an ID code and password for each university in this regard," Prakash said.
University Grants Commission (UGC) is a statutory organisation under the union government, which was established in 1956 and responsible to looks after the coordination, determination and maintenance of standards of university education in the country. In addition to that, it provides recognition to universities in India, and disburses funds to such recognised universities and colleges.
