UGC allows top universities to set up campuses abroad
India’s top ranked universities with Institute of Eminence status, such as the Indian Institutes of Technology and Indian Institute of Science, can now set up branch campuses abroad after India’s higher education regulator the University Grants Commission (UGC) this month amended its regulations to allow them to set up offshore campuses.
Public or private ‘Institutes of Eminence’ would have to submit an application to the Ministry of Education with details of their 10-year strategic vision plan and a five-year implementation plan, including academic plans, faculty recruitment, student admissions plan, research, infrastructure development, financial, administrative and governance plans, with clear annual milestones and identifiable outcomes, according to the UGC, which will also review the applications together with an Empowered Experts Committee.
What will it take to vaccinate India against Covid-19?

India’s Covid-19 vaccination drive will roll out next week. The government is aiming to vaccinate 300 million people – a quarter of the country’s population – by the end of the summer. The two approved vaccines in India’s arsenal need to be administered in two doses, which means 600 million shots will have to be delivered in the next six months.
That’s more than 20 times the number of pregnant women and children vaccinated as part of India’s universal immunisation program.
