University of Delhi Governance and Accountability: Crisis and Opportunities 1994

Abstract

From Introduction: This monograph on Governance and Accountability: Crises and Opportunities reflects my thinking on the need for some structural and procedural changes in our University. I was contemplating presentation of these thoughts early in my tenure. Some of these have emerged piecemeal over the last two years: the proposals for autonomous resource generation, the revitalization of system of tutorials, the rationalization of admission procedure, examination reforms, perspective planning for departments. The impulse to present a comprehensive range of proposals was further reinforced by the disciplined and highly constructive dialogue at a special meeting of the Executive Council to discuss the term post for Principals. At that meeting (held on May 5, 1993) I had assured the Council that I will present a comprehensive monograph for its consideration. It has been somewhat delayed for which I extend my apologies.
