UGC Scheme ‘Paramarsh’ for Mentoring Institutions

The Union government has launched ‘Paramarsh’,
a University Grants Commission (UGC) scheme for mentoring National
Accreditation and Assessment Council (NAAC) Accreditation aspirant institutions
to promote quality assurance in higher education. The scheme will be a paradigm
shift in the concept of mentoring of institution by another well performing
institution to upgrade their academic performance and enable them to get
accredited by focusing in the area of curricular aspects, teaching-learning and
evaluation, research, innovation, institutional values and practices. The
scheme will be implemented through a ‘Hub & Spoke’ model wherein the Mentor
Institution, called the ‘Hub’ is centralized and will have the responsibility
of guiding the mentee institution through the secondary branches, the ‘Spokes’
through the services provided to the mentee for self-improvement. This allows a
centralized control over operational efficiency, resource utilization to attain
overall development of the mentee institution. The scheme will target 1000
Higher Education Institutions.
