The UGC is a national body for the coordination, determination and maintenance of standards of University education. It serves as a vital link between the Union and State Governments and the institution of higher learning. In addition to its role of giving grants to universities and colleges, it also advises Central and State Governments on the measures necessary for the improvement of university education. It also frames regulations such as those on the minimum standards of instruction and qualifications of teachers. The site gives information about the organizational structure of the commission, the text of a regulation about the qualification of university teachers, and texts of schemes, guidelines and activities of the commission.
