UGC Helpline and email id will be used to redress issues related to exams and academic activities that have arisen due to COVID-19 situation.

Apart from setting up UGC Helpline, a task force has also been formed which will look into the grievances, queries received from students teachers and institutions and redress them accordingly.

Prior to establishment of UGC Helpline, an academic calendar has also been brought out by it keeping in view the COVID-19 situation.

There is also a portal where students can register their grievances. The portal can be accessed at ‘https://www.ugc.ac.in/grievance/student_reg.aspx’
While students and teachers can call the UGC Helpline, in case it is found busy they can visit the above mentioned portal.

UGC has recently issued an academic calendar recently, now UGC Helpline has been established. All these show that things are coming back to normalcy.

The same for fresh batches can begin from 1 September.

About higher education in India
From ancient Bharat to modern India, higher education has always occupied a place of prominence in Indian history.

In ancient times, Nalanda, Taxila and Vikramsila universities were renowned seats of higher learning, attracting students not only from all over the country but from far off countries like Korea, China, Burma (now Myanmar), Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), Tibet and Nepal. Today, India manages one of the largest higher education systems in the world.

The present system of higher education dates back to Mountstuart Elphinstone`s minutes of 1823, which stressed on the need for establishing schools for teaching English and the European sciences. Later, Lord Macaulay, in his minutes of 1835, advocated “efforts to make natives of the country thoroughly good English scholars”.

Sir Charles Wood`s Dispatch of 1854, famously known as the Magna Carta of English Education in India`, recommended creating a properly articulated scheme of education from the primary school to the university.

It sought to encourage indigenous education and planned the formulation of a coherent policy of education.

Subsequently, the universities of Calcutta, Bombay (now Mumbai) and Madras were set up in 1857, followed by the university of Allahabad in 1887.
