NCERT to gain University Status 2011

NCERT University

The NCERT, which is celebrating its golden jubilee celebration, would be accorded university status, HRD Minister Kapil Sibal has said.

He said it would no only enable National Council of Education Research and Training to address diverse issues and upcoming challenges in education sector, but also help its teachers draw professor level salary.

“I strongly suggest that we should work very hard to ensure that the university status to NCERT is brought about as quickly as possible,” he said at a functoin and emphasised that it should be made a “center of education”.

The status will also guide other organisations in this country to take the agenda of NCERT and its regional units forward.

He noted that scholarship amount paid under the prestigious National Talent Search Examination (NTSE) scheme is a “farcical” Rs 500 per month and assured to “raise” the amount.

According to officials, the university status will enable NCERT confer BEd, MEd degrees and PhDs through its five regional educational colleges.

Recalling Prime Minister’s Independence Day address where he disclosed plans to set up a commission to look at the new vision of education in 21st century, Sibal suggested that NCERT should also be an integral part of such a proposal.

Besides, he favoured extending the Inspire scholarship of the Ministry of Science and Technology among the students also. PTI
