Allahabad : The University Grants Commission recently held a one-to-one meeting at New Delhi with the representatives of the central universities to discuss financial grants for these varsities.
Each central university was represented by its finance officer and the registrar. Allahabad University was represented by finance officer PK Singh and registrar Prof J N Mishra.
Representatives of Banaras Hindu University, Aligarh Muslim University, and Hyderabad Central University also took part in the meeting.
Giving details, AU finance officer PK Singh told reporters that it was a routine affair with UGC but bears significance as the UGC had called the meeting for sanctioning of funds for the central universities under various heads, both planned and non-planned grants apart from grants sanctioned under revamping of infrastructure following implementation of reservation under other backward classes.
The UGC sought details for the projected expenditure, demand of which has been sent by the respective institutions. The UGC has asked for further clarification before finalising the grants, Singh said. The grants would, however, be made available in the current financial year, he added.
