Rajasthan Governor lays emphasis on social concerns in health management
Rajasthan Governor Haribhau Bagade has laid emphasis on addressing the social concerns in the field of health management, while ensuring the quality of health facilities and high standards of education. Mr. Bagade said the institutions should pay attention to research for improving health care services. Addressing the convocation ceremony of IIHMR University here, Mr. Bagade said while the students should apply their knowledge and skills to the cause of nation building, the universities could collaborate with the national and international institutions for research. It would improve the quality of their own work, he added. 'The National Education Policy-2022 has integrated traditional and modern knowledge. It has made the education system relevant to the present needs and fostered holistic development of the students,' Mr. Bagade said. The Governor conferred degrees on 423 graduating students and gave away medals to the toppers from various disciplines. He said since the students become future leaders of the country, there should be no compromise with the quality of their education. 'The NAAC accreditation of all universities in Rajasthan and quality in higher education is our highest priority,' he said. Drugs Controller General of India Rajeev Singh Raghuvanshi said India formed an important part of the global healthcare value chain and was providing medicines and trained manpower to over 200 countries. IIHMR University president P.R. Sodani said the University had conducted various studies for the Union government and the governments of several States to improve the health care delivery system. Rajasthan University of Health Sciences Vice-Chancellor Pramod Yeole, and IIHMR University's chairperson Sudarshan Jain and founder-trustee Ashok Agarwal were among those present. The graduating batch of students comprised those from the streams of hospital and health management, pharmaceutical management, development management, implementation science and executive courses. Nine doctoral students were also awarded with the degrees.

NAAC introduces fully digital, simplified accreditation system for colleges, universities
NEW DELHI: To upgrade the quality of higher education in the country, the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC), an autonomous body under the University Grants Commission (UGC), has revamped the accreditation process and taken it online. Colleges and Universities will only receive intimation on whether they have been given accreditation or not with the seven-scale rating system that had existed the last three decades to be done away with. An official announcement is likely to be made on July 29 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at a grand event to be organised by the Ministry of Education to mark the fifth anniversary of the launch of the National Education Policy 2020, said sources. Chairman of the Executive Council of NAAC, Anil Sahasrabudhe, told this newspaper, 'As on date, roughly 40% of the 1,170 universities in the country have obtained accreditation. When it comes to colleges, not even 20% of the 50,000-odd colleges have managed to get it. Our objective is to ensure that between 90%-95% of these higher educational institutions obtain the accreditation.' Accreditation is a stamp of guarantee of the quality of education offered in the institution. 'It will help the students enormously as they will gain knowledge of a good standard. Parents too will be relieved as they are assured of the quality provided in the institution after paying a hefty sum as fee,' he explained. A senior education official said that the fear of not getting a good grade in the existing system had actually put off hundreds of institutions from applying for the accreditation in the past. Higher educational institutions are presently offered the NAAC accreditation for a five-year period. The revamped process will bring it down to just three years. 'The basic process of obtaining the accreditation will be done fully online with no field visits required by the Committee. This is a major step in simplifying the process and encouraging higher educational institutions to come forward to apply to NAAC,' he said. A new system of gradation will be introduced. 'Those who get the accreditation can next opt for Maturity-Based Graded Accreditation with five levels set to be introduced, ranging between Level 1 and Level 5. Colleges and universities can keep upgrading themselves with one level after another. Level-1 and Level-2 are relatively easy to get and can be obtained online. Level-3 will be a hybrid one with online and field visits to the institute by the NAAC team,' he said. Institutions which already offer a high standard can directly apply to a higher level rather than approach the process step by step, he added. Level-4 and Level-5 will be extremely difficult to obtain and have stringent qualifying criteria. The latter will only be awarded to institutions offering education on par with international standards, Sahasrabudhe added.

Goa University secures an A+, its highest-ever NAAC grade
Panaji: The National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) on Friday awarded the A+ grade to the Goa University after its latest cycle of assessment. This is the best grade yet awarded to Goa's lone and state-run varsity, marking a historic shift for the institution. The A+ grade is a significant jump for the varsity from the B++ grade awarded to it in the last assessment cycle by NAAC in 2022. GU also attained a very high cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 3.30. Its score in the last cycle was 2.86. 'This achievement is a testimony to the hard work, integrity, and dedication of the entire university fraternity. It inspires us to aim higher and fulfil our vision of becoming a globally recognised centre of excellence,' GU vice-chancellor Harilal B Menon said. The peer committee of NAAC visited Goa University last week. Until now, the highest grade ever awarded in NAAC assessment to the GU was 'A' with a CGPA score of 3.09 in 2014. The NAAC assessment is carried out based on seven parameters — curriculum; teaching-learning and evaluation methods; research, innovation and extension activities; infrastructure and learning resources; student support and progression; governance, leadership and management; and institutional management and best practices. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The jump in the GU's score indicates a significant improvement in all these parameters. A NAAC A+ grade denotes 'very good' performance by a university and is one of the highest recognitions an institute of higher education can achieve. The GU made major changes which appear to have helped improve its grade significantly, including setting up a research park and introducing several new and innovative programmes like masters in AI, and entering into collaboration with institutes of national repute. Recently, the university revised a decades-old policy to remove the two-seat capping on seats reserved for students from other universities per postgraduate programme. It made 10% of seats available to students of other universities in every programme, without a cap. This was to meet diversity and inclusion parameters under national evaluation systems like NAAC. The accreditation process not only helps the institution to identify its strengths and weaknesses but also helps enhance its reputation and influence among stakeholders like students, employers, and funding agencies. The NAAC accreditation is a quality assurance certification awarded to higher education institutions.
