NO PROMOTIONS MADE IN NAAC TO
ITS EMPLOYEES IN LAST 20 YEARS
By : M.S.Yatnatti Editor and Video Journalist Bangalore : It is a national shame for MHRD and UGC and GC & EC of NAAC an important national
agency of repute which consists of eminent personalities that NAAC has committed blunder and failed to promote its own employees since last 20 years . It
is question of justice and equity to all employees of NAAC irrespective of the cadre’s and posts .The organization structure and staff requirement of NAAC
need to be upgraded as its work load has increased and covers entire nation and it cannot depend on outsourcing its all its activities to third parties. The
quality of Governance which NAAC expects from the organization which it accredits for quality governance astonishingly is missing in NAAC itself.
Though GC has adopted in 27th meeting that career advancement of NAAC employees will be based on schemes notified by Government of India from time
to time for respective categories of staff shall be applicable to NAAC employees and there is no need to even make fresh CRR rules in respect of NAAC
employees and NAAC has its organaisation structure approved by GC as on 1997 need to be upgraded and all employees need to be given promotional
opportunities and fresh recruitments need to happen .IT is utter academic failure and administrative failure of the NAAC director in respect of lapses in
not making promotions and recruitments in NAAC as per governing law applicable from time to time . Govt employee has fundamental right to be
considered for promotion' .The Supreme Court has ruled that a Government employee has a fundamental right to be considered for promotion and it is
mandatory for the Centre and States to carry out cadre review of eligible officers for promotion to the Indian Administrative Service (IAS)."The right of
eligible employees to be considered for promotion is virtually a part of their fundamental right guarantee ed under Article 16(Equality of opportunity in
matter of public employmen t) of the Constitution," a bench comprising Justices R V Raveendran and A K Ganguly held in a recent judgement . The apex
court passed the judgement while directing the Centre and the UP Government to consider the promotion of two State cadre officers-Hemraj Singh
Chauhan and Ramnawal Singh to the IAS. "We hold that the statutory duty which is cast on the State Government and the Central Government to
undertake the cadre review exercise every five years is ordinarily mandatory subject to exceptions which may be justified in the facts of a given case," the
bench said.
Government employees cannot be deprived of promotion "arbitrarily" and without any reasonable ground, the Delhi High Court has ruled. Holding that employees do not
have "vested" right to promotion, a bench of Justices BD Ahmed and VK Jain noted, "It is true that no employee has a vested right to promotion, but respondents
(employer) cannot act arbitrarily and without any reasonable excuse defer the meeting of Departmental Promotion Committee (DPC) and, thereby, deprive an employee of
his legitimate expectation for being considered for promotion to a post if he is eligible.". NAAC is Inter University Centers (IUC) of UGC. NAAC has failed in self
governance. Seniority list for Promotion is not prepared in the NAAC.UGC employees get the financial up gradation and promotions in time bound manner and same rules
apply to NAAC also as it is Inter University Organization .But NAAC director is not applying his mind on this subject in logical manner and injustice is done to all
employees of NAAC.It has not provided financial upgrading and promotions in time bound manner and promotional avenues to its own employees for the last twenty years
which boasts to make quality the defining element of higher education in India through a combination of self and external quality evaluation, promotion and sustenance
initiatives.
National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) was established by the UGC in September 1994 at Bangalore for evaluating the performance of the Universities
and Colleges in the Country. NAAC's mandate includes the task of performance evaluation, assessment and accreditation of universities and colleges in the country. The
philosophy of NAAC is based on objective and continuous improvement rather than being punitive or judgmental, so that all institutions of higher learning are empowered
to maximize their resources, opportunities and capabilities. Assessment is a performance evaluation of an institution and /or its units and is accomplished through a process
based on self-study and peer review using defined criteria. Accreditation refers to the certification given by NAAC which is valid for a period of five years. At present the
Assessment and Accreditation by NAAC is done on a voluntary basis.
The NATIONAL ASSESSMENT AND ACCREDITATION COUNCIL (NAAC) is an autonomous body established by the University Grants Commission (UGC) of India to
assess and accredit institutions of higher education in the country. It is an outcome of the recommendations of the National Policy in Education (1986) which laid special
emphasis on upholding the quality of higher education in India. To address the issues of quality, the National Policy on Education (1986) and the Plan of Action (POA-1992)
advocated the establishment of an independent national accreditation body. Consequently, the NAAC was established in 1994 with its headquarters at Bangalore.
In addition to many Peer Team Visits which take place every day, the NAAC also facilitates conduct of workshops and seminars in accredited institutions. NAAC also
partners with various State Governments and professional bodies to create an advocacy for assessment and accreditation. Assessors Interaction Meetings (AIM), IQAC
Meetings and interaction with governmental agencies are an important part of NAAC's activities.
Assessment and Accreditation is broadly used for understanding the “Quality Status” of an institution. In the context of Higher Education, the accreditation status indicates
that the particular Higher Educational Institutions (HEI) – a College, a University, or any other recognised Unit therein, meets the standards of quality as set by the
Accreditation Agency, in terms of its performance, related to the educational processes and outcomes, covering the curriculum, teaching-learning, evaluation, faculty,
research, infrastructure, learning resources, organisation, governance, financial well being and student services.NAAC functions through its General Council (GC) and
Executive Committee (EC) and other academic, advisory and administrative sub-committees. NAAC draws its expertise from senior academics of undoubted integrity from
all over India. National Consultative Committees in various areas provide the necessary inputs for establishing and strengthening the processes. Vice-Chancellors of
Universities, Directors of higher education and Science and Technology institutes, Deans, Principals of Colleges, Heads of Departments representatively drawn from all
disciplines, educational administrators provide expertise and leadership for the academic activities of NAAC. In addition, NAAC is also generating a large pool of experts /
assessors in all subjects by conducting orientation programme periodically across the country.
Prof. Ved Prakash is president of general council of NAAC . Prof. Ved Prakash has held eminent positions in a number of premier national and international organizations
dealing with education in general and higher education in particular. Prior to assuming the charge of the Office of the Chairman, University Grants Commission (UGC), in

NAAC HAS NOT COME OUT WITH ANY QUALITY STANDARSDS ON E-LEARNING WITH OUTSORCE LABS : NAAC UGC and IGNOU need to debate on online education
with DEB /IGNOU outsourced labs before finalizing national policy and regulations on distance education . Higher education today is undergoing a radical change, posing
new age challenges to universities and NAAC should rise to the challenges and face it head on and solve the issues of standardization of online distance learning . Instead of
colleges only Labs needs to be outsourced as computer is class room , computer lab, play ground for online gaming ,library ,research center ,online mentoring ,online chat
,video conferencing and face to face online Online government are possible and run then why not online education with live teachers and outsourced labs online
examinations and online evaluation and results and entire management of University with University management systems and UGC can manage it on real time basis on
dash board every day and every minute for all Universities and research centers .UGC should formulate new education policy on online education with outsourced Research
Labs with Lab Instructors /Teachers and specially trained online professors
Heavy Demand for Online education and E-learning : Online government are possible and run then why not online education .Lot of teachers are trained to teach online and many teachers
teach US students from India .When central government is providing AKASH TABLET computer and smart phones to every students at very affordable cost and 3G connectivity is available
and online education is becoming reality through videoconferencing and video call. A new era of online education is dawning India and abroad .The LABS are outsourced to study practical’s in
engineering and science education for distance learning students without sacrificing quality of education. Engineering education through distance learning will make poor students to study
engineering without botheration of huge donations /corruption / hurdles of entrance examinations and provide equal opportunity to study engineering and MHRD need to really commend the
efforts of many universities in this respect. There is an increased use of virtual classrooms (online presentations delivered live) as an online learning platform and classroom for a diverse set of
education providers. E-learning comprises all forms of electronically supported learning and teaching. The information and communication systems, whether networked or not, serve as specific
media to implement the learning process. The term will still most likely be utilized to reference out-of-classroom and in-classroom educational experiences via technology, even as advances
continue in regard to devices and curriculum. E-learning is essentially the computer and network-enabled transfer of skills and knowledge. E-learning applications and processes include Webbased learning, computer-based learning, virtual classroom opportunities and digital collaboration. Content is delivered via the Internet, intranet/extranet, audio or video tape, satellite TV, and
CD-ROM. It can be self-paced or instructor-led and includes media in the form of text, image, animation, streaming video and audio. Abbreviations like CBT (Computer-Based Training), IBT
(Internet-Based Training) or WBT (Web-Based Training) have been used as synonyms to e-learning. Today one can still find these terms being used, along with variations of e-learning such as elearning, Elearning, and eLearning. ICT Information Communication Technology brought Government’s online by e-governance initiatives, banking online, Businesses online, Telemedicine is
all set to revolutionize healthcare as it link patients from small hospital to the urban specialist and now universities online are all set to revolutionize education and research. MHRD and DEB be
a regulator in promoting, coordinating and determining standards in the open and distance education system and not destroyer of distance education. Throughout the world, the Higher
Educational Institutions function in a dynamic environment and the Indian higher education system is no exception to this. As significant changes happen from time to time,
there are new challenges and demands that seek innovation. The ever expanding higher education, impact of technology on educational delivery, increasing private
participation and the impact of globalization (including liberal cross-border and trans-border educational imperatives) have necessitated marked changes in the Indian
higher education scenario. While formulating its Core Values for Accreditation framework, NAAC is in cognizance of the swift changes and consequent metamorphosis in
values pertaining to the Indian Higher Education. Core Values: Contributing to National Development.Fostering Global Competencies among Students.Inculcating a Value
System in Students.Promoting the Use of Technology.Quest for Excellence .
The UGC, however, was formally established only in November 1956 as a statutory body of the Government of India through an Act of Parliament for the coordination,
determination and maintenance of standards of university education in India. In order to ensure effective region-wise coverage throughout the country, the UGC has
decentralised its operations by setting up six regional centres at Pune, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Bhopal, Guwahati and Bangalore. The head office of the UGC is located at
Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg in New Delhi, with two additional bureaus operating from 35, Feroze Shah Road and the South Campus of University of Delhi as well.The UGC
has the unique distinction of being the only grant-giving agency in the country which has been vested with two responsibilities: that of providing funds and that of
coordination, determination and maintenance of standards in institutions of higher education. The UGC's mandate includes: Promoting and coordinating university
education. Determining and maintaining standards of teaching, examination and research in universities. Framing regulations on minimum standards of education and
monitoring developments in the field of collegiate and university education; disbursing grants to the universities and colleges.Serving as a vital link between the Union and
state governments and institutions of higher learning.Advising the Central and State governments on the measures necessary for improvement of university education.
