1. Strengthen foundations of university system: experts
Significance: In the case of the deemed university system in India there seemed to have been a systemic failure. But the government seemed to have adopted a “flawed approach” in using the recommendations of a four-member committee when a statutory body, the University Grants Commission (UGC), had granted them the status. This according to the exprts will damage the credentials of UGC. The derecognition of deemed status of 44 universities will affect the future of students, patents and the staff.

Greetings
Hi All,
Wish you all a very happy Makar Sankrant,a very happy Lohri and a very happy Pongal.
This is the day when the sun begins its northward journey.Makara Sakranti signifies that we should turn away from the darkness of delusion in which we live, and begin to joyously let the light within us shine brighter and brighter. We should gradually begin to grow in purity, wisdom, and knowledge, even as the sun does from this day.
With Regards,
Atul Lande and Synergy Team
