The Ministry of Human Resource Development has not issued any
directive to restrict choice of subjects for research, as has been reported in
a section of media since the Government believes in the principle of freedom in
research.
Last year, there was a meeting of Vice Chancellors of 11
Central Universities, which were lacking in research. In the said meeting they
presented a road map to improve research and also discussed the issue of more
research on issues relating to national priorities. The minutes of the meeting
were recorded.
The Government has given impetus to improve and expand
research facilities. The Government has provided Rs 480 crore for Social
Science Research Project under Impactful Policy Research in Social Sciences (IMPRESS); Rs 225 Crore for research
in basic sciences; Rs 1000 crore under Impacting Research, Innovation and
Technology (IMPRINT) for
technology related research; Rs 450 crore under STRIDE for research in
Humanities; and Rs 480 crore under Scheme for Promotion of Academic and Research
Collaboration (SPARC)
for joint research with foreign universities in any discipline.
