UGC Asks Universities, Colleges To Set Up 'Students Counselling System'

College Grants Commission, in a letter dated March 8, 2018, has reminded that all Higher Educational Institutes (HEIs) need to put an 'Understudies Counseling System' for successful redressal of issues and difficulties looked by understudies. The framework is relied upon to connect formal and in addition open hole between the understudies and the foundation. The 'Understudies Counseling System' is to be set up in University as well as at schools where understudies could benefit the administrations of a prepared analyst as and when the need emerges. 

The setting up of a directing framework is a piece of the "Rules on Safety of Students on and off Campuses of Higher Educational Institutions" issued by the UGC on April 16, 2015. 

The Counseling System would incorporate prepared instructor advocates who might stay in close touch with the understudies allocated to them consistently. The instructor advocates would need to oblige the understudies' passionate and scholarly needs and guide them to climb in their profession at customary interim of time. 

Nonetheless, one of the tricky components of the notice appears that UGC has likewise enabled instructor guides to share individual and scholarly points of interest of understudies with inn superintendents who might be in a situation to take 'remedial activity'. 

The concerned piece of the warning read, "Educator advocates can arrange with superintendents of inns and trade individual points of interest of understudies, scholarly record and conduct designs for incite pre-emptive or remedial activity." 

Understudies have consistently gotten out the backward standards set by inn superintendents, uncommonly for female understudies. It stays to be perceived how schools and colleges, including lodging superintendents, would see 'restorative activity' in the domain of the notice.
