Abstract: | On the recommendations of the Education Commission in 1963, and in consultation with the universities, the University Grants Commission established a scheme for developing a limited number of university departments which had already evidenced some potential in research and teaching for advanced training and research in selected fields. The scheme was intended to encourage the pursuit of excellence and teamwork in studies and research and to accelerate the realization of international standards in specific fields. Thus, it was proposed to provide substantial financial assistance to the departments in the universities, which would be carefully selected on the basis of quality and extent of work already done by them, their reputation and contribution to research and their potential for further development. The first such scheme was named as the "Centre of Advanced Study(CAS)" in 1963.Some of these Centers also received recognition and financial support from UNDP/UNESCO. |
