Following the 10 percent quota, MHRD is all set to increase the college seats

From 2019, all the educational institutes in the nation will fall under the norm of 10 percent quota which grants 10 percent reservation to the Economically Weaker Section and its implementation will not impact the existing reservation for the SCs,STs & OBCs and general seats, said Union HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar in a meeting with the UGC and the AICTE. "Adequate additional seats will be created in these colleges and universities to implement the quota for EWS. The UGC and AICTE will be provided the operational mandate within a week to implement the quota," he added. "The modalities are being worked out and within a week's time we will have the exact number of seats that will be added. The operation manuals about how to implement the quota will be issued soon. The colleges and universities will also be asked to mention the quota in their prospectus as well and make infrastructural arrangements accordingly," Mr Javadekar said. On Saturday, President Ram Nath Kovind cleared the landmark bill under which 10 percent reservation will be given to the upper caste which falls outside high income bracket.

IIT-Kharagpur, IISc- Bengaluru are the chosen sites for the Centers for Excellence

The Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES) has planned to set up center for excellence where young researchers will be trained to develop software and algorithms which are needed to monitor whether events. M Rajeevan, secretary, MoES announced that the first CEC would be established on the grounds of IIT-Kharagpur and a another one is in pipeline and would be set up on the grounds of IISC Banglore. “We have received a proposal from IIT Kharagpur and our team will be visiting the institute later this month to finalize the setting up of CEC,” said Rajeevan. Citing the thunder and dust storm from last year as a trigger point of the CECs, Rajeevan said that the event opened our eyes to the fact that there is a need for software and algorithms to track specific whether events. “The CECs will undertake training for researchers and students, to develop hardware, software and algorithms. These will help track thunder, lightning, wind speed or similar weather phenomenon specifically, helping improve operational forecasts,” said Rajeevan. From the onset of the next academic year, city-based Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM) will start to roll out fellowships and short-term courses. It will also conduct workshops with the help of dedicated Development of Skilled manpower in Earth System Sciences (DESK).
