HEFA has approved a loan of Rs 261.33 million to install a WiFi network to begin the construction work of the Faculty of Technology building.
What is HEFA?
HEFA stands for Higher Education Financing Agency, a joint venture between Canara Bank and the Ministry of Education that provides financial support for the development of educational infrastructure and research facilities at India’s top educational institutions.
The University of Delhi had applied for land from HEFA in 2022 for infrastructure development and expansion, including setting up DE’s East Campus in Surjamal Vihar and opening a new university in Najafgarh.
On March 8, 2024, the university may propose the idea of extending the validity of the two MPhil courses to the academic year 2024-26 at the university’s board meeting.
Last year, Varsity University approached the University Grants Commission (UGC) to request the Institute of Human Behavior and Allied Sciences (Institute of Human Behavior and Allied Sciences) as an interim measure for students until the Rehabilitation Council of India (RCI) takes a final decision, which is on the agenda of its meeting. IHBAS) sent a letter asking him to resume his MPhil. reveal.
The university took this initiative after the dean of the medical school expressed concerns about this.
The Academic Council and Executive Council had suspended the MPhil program from 2022-24 in line with the National Education Policy 2020.
The UGC’s regulations regarding minimum standards and procedures for awarding of Ph.D.s have made it impossible for higher education institutions to offer MPhil programmes.
