OVERVIEW

AICTE Quality Improvement Schemes (AQIS), promotes Quality in Technical Education through Research and Development and several other schemes which aim to create technical work on a systematic basis in order to increase the available body of knowledge, which includes the technical institutes, its faculty and students and their interdependence on technology and the use of this knowledge to devise new applications. These schemes are being operated by the RIFD Bureau through which, as a part of its functions, AICTE provides financial assistance to various Institutions for improvement in quality of education. It also promotes research and development in technical institutions and to enhance industry Institute Interaction. Some of the popular schemes are as follows:

SHARE AND MENTOR INSTITUTIONS (MARGDARSHAN)

An Institute of repute as a Mentor within an existing facility to serve as the hub to guide and disperse knowledge to and between around ten technical institutions to encourage best practices. The secondary branches, the spokes, are additional services provided to faculty for self improvement. Eventually, the Hub ‘n Spoke system will allow for inter-hamlet information sharing, such as technical education, research and sharing of resources to the entire system.

ADJUNCT FACULTY

One of the key objectives is to have a strong and robust collaboration between the educational Institutions and industry. The guidelines seek to encourage quality involvement of academicians, scholars, practitioners, policymakers in teaching, research, and related services on a regular basis. Such involvement helps in bringing external perspective to regular teaching to make classes more interesting and to further enrich existing knowledge of faculty members.

TRAINEE TEACHER SCHEME

The scheme Attracting bright Undergraduate and Postgraduate students to teaching profession by providing M. Tech/Ph. D Fellowships and assured job for advancing their professional growth by giving scholarships.

UNNAT BHARAT ABHIYAN

Unnat Bharat Abhiyan is inspired by the vision of transformational change in rural development processes by leveraging knowledge institutions to help build the architecture of an Inclusive India. Their mission is conceptualised as a movement to enable processes that connect institutes of higher education with local communities to address the development challenges of rural India through participatory processes and appropriate technologies for accelerating sustainable growth.

INDEST

23.1 OBJECTIVES

(a) The ‘Indian National Digital Library in Engineering Sciences and Technology (INDEST) Consortium’ was set up in 2003 by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) on the recommendation of an Expert Group appointed by the Ministry. The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi was designated as the Consortium Headquarters to co-ordinate its activities. The Consortium enrolls engineering and technological institutions as its members and subscribe to electronic resources for them at discounted rates of subscription and favorable terms and conditions. The benefit of consortia-based subscription to electronic resources is not confined to its core members but is also extended to all educational institutions under its open-ended proposition. 60 Govt./Govt.-aided engineering colleges are provided to access to selected electronic resources with financial support from the AICTE. The number of AICTE supported institutes has been increased to 103 by inducting new membership of 43 eligible institutes during the year 2014. 1235 engineering colleges and institutions who joined the Consortium has now grown to 1500.

(b) The Consortium was re-named as INDEST-AICTE Consortium in December 2005 with the AICTE playing a pivotal role in enrolling its approved engineering colleges and institutions as members of the Consortium for selected e-resources at much lower rates of subscription. The objectives of INDEST-AICTE Consortium are as follows:

1. To subscribe electronic resources for the members of the Consortium at

highly discounted rates of subscription and at the best terms and conditions.

2. To extend the benefit of consortia-based subscription beyond the core

members to other engineering and technological institutions.

3. To impart training to the users and librarians in the members institutions on

subscribed electronic resources with an aim to optimize the usage of

subscribed electronic resources.

4. To find more avenues of cooperation and interaction amongst member

libraries.

5. To increase scientific productivity of member institutions in terms of quality

and quantity of publications.

6. To help new engineering institutes and colleges to make the right choice of

e-resources.

7. To find more avenues of co-operation and interaction with other consortia.
