PARAMARSH

UGC Paramarsh Scheme

The Ministry of Human Resource Development has launched the scheme of 'Paramarsh' to promote Quality Assurance in higher education.

The scheme is for offering Mentoring services to NAAC Accreditation Aspirant Institutions to promote Quality Assurance in Higher Education.

The scheme will be a paradigm shift in the concept of mentoring. Well performing institutions will offer mentoring services to aspirant institutions to upgrade their academic performance and enable them to get accredited by focusing on the areas of curricular aspects, teaching-learning & evaluation, research, innovation, institutional values & practices.

Higher education institutions that have failed to meet the quality standards of the National Assessment Accreditation Council (NAAC) can now avail mentorship from the top universities and colleges. Under the Paramarsh scheme of the University Grants Commission (UGC), 71 universities and 391 colleges with NAAC score of 3.26 and above applied to become Mentors under the Scheme.

The UGC has approved 167 Universities and Colleges as Mentors and 800 institutions as Mentees.

Sadakathullah Appa College is one among the selected premier mentoring institutions.

Each mentor institution will receive a grant of Rs 30 lakh to support the mentees.

Dr. Krishnan Baskar, Former Vice Chancellor of Manonmaniam Sundaranar University, Tirunelveli has been deputed as the Accreditation Ambassador of our college under the UGC Paramarsh Scheme since 02.01.2020.

He has rich experience in the field of guiding institutions in the Accreditation process. He is presently serving as the Director at the Centre for Technology Development and Transfer (CTDT), Anna University, Tamil Nadu
