No Final Decision Yet on Merger of UGC and AICTE, Says HRD Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal
by Deepak Wadtele 22 Nov '19

22 Nov '19

*Respected All, * *News Update:- * No Final Decision Yet on Merger of UGC and AICTE, Says HRD Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal *| News 18 | **PTI* | *November 21, 2019 | * *In September this year, the HRD minister had said the bill was in final stages and will be taken to the Union Cabinet in October.* [image: image.png] *New Delhi:* No final decision has been taken yet on merger of the University Grants Commission (UGC) and the All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE), Union HRD Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank said on Thursday. “Till now, no final decision has been taken on this issue,” Nishank said in response to a written question in the Rajya Sabha. Last year, the Human Resource Development Ministry had announced its decision to replace the UGC by repealing the UGC Act, 1951. A draft bill for this was put in public domain for feedback. However, it was decided later that the Higher Education Commission of India will also take over the AICTE. In September this year, the minister said the bill was in final stages and will be taken to the Union Cabinet in October. “The *Higher Education Commission of India* will be a single regulator and replace UGC and AICTE. The bill has been prepared after elaborate consultation with states. It will be taken to the Cabinet in October,” he had tweeted. The draft bill had proposed *HECI* to control academic matters while an advisory board under the HRD minister would be in charge of issuing monetary grants to universities. But various student groups had opposed the handing over of the financial control to the HRD ministry. UGC is the regulator for universities across the country and AICTE acts as a regulator for engineering, pharmacy, management and other technical education colleges. *Source :- * *https://www.news18.com/news/india/no-final-decision-yet-on-merger-of-ugc-and-aicte-says-hrd-minister-ramesh-pokhriyal-2395449.html* <https://www.news18.com/news/india/no-final-decision-yet-on-merger-of-ugc-an…> *https://indianexpress.com/article/education/no-final-decision-yet-on-merger-of-ugc-aicte-hrd-minister-ramesh-pokhriyal-nishank-6130679/* <https://indianexpress.com/article/education/no-final-decision-yet-on-merger…> *Thanks with regards Deepak B.

Re: [LIS-Forum] LIS-Forum Digest, Vol 200, Issue 21

The matching words do not have to be consecutive, but they do have to be meaningful words. So for example, words such as 'and', 'to' or 'by' are classed as link words and would not count towards the 14 words, but those 14 meaningful words could be found in different places in the document - for example 3 words on page 1, 3 words on page 2, and 8 words on page 3. In the example given, yes, any matches of fewer than 14 words would be excluded if this option was selected in the 'exclude small matches' filter. Kind regards, P. S. MANJUNATHA LIBRARIAN B.N.M.
