Soon, govt portal to tell if a foreign univ is genuine
The Centre will come up with a portal to help students verify the
genuineness of foreign higher educational institutions before they join such
institutes, government sources said. Officials said the foreign ministry shared
about this initiative during the PRAGATI meeting chaired by PM Narendra Modi
on Wednesday.
Sources said the PM flagged the ordeal that many students face after joining
foreign institutes due to misinformation and sought a solution to the problem.
This came up when Modi was reviewing complaints of problems faced by Indians
living abroad. The modalities of the IT interface that can work as a guide
would be decided soon, TOI has learnt.
Chairing the web-based interaction with Union secretaries
and chief secretaries from states, PM suggested states to identify 10% of the
most backward blocks and track their 49 performance indicators as it is being
done in the case of aspirational (backward) districts by Niti Aayog. Officials
said Modi suggested states can create a framework for competition among
backward blocks and share success stories.
The PM went through the details of some of the 20 best
performing districts and the worst 10 which are being monitored. According to
Niti Aayog, Balarpur and Shrawasti in UP have topped the list. The bottom 10 include
Malkangiri in Odisha, Gumla in Jharkhand and Dhurbi in Assam.
The PM asked the road transport and agriculture
ministries to work on a new startup model of logistics support, particularly
with regard to transfer of agricultural produce.
