Universities told to update information through DCF

In order to avail grants and funds provided by the Central government, now the universities and the affiliated colleges should update information as per the Data Capture Format (DCF) as soon as possible. 

Union joint secretary higher education RP Sisodiya addressed the representatives of theMahatma Gandhi Kashi Vidyapeeth andSampurnanand University through video-conferencing on Friday. Representatives of the affiliated colleges of both the universities were also present. 

The video-conference was aimed at instructing the administration of the universities and affiliated colleges to make the data available online through the DCF. 

The DCF is a part of the Central government's project 'All India Survey of Higher Education' (AISHE) and aims at making the information including infrastructure, student strength, resources, result, budget, status of NAAC accreditation of the institute available online. 

For this, the universities and affiliated colleges are required to provide relevant information in DCF at the website aishe.gov.in as directed by the HRD ministry. 

At present, the scenario is not good. Sources said that out of 272 colleges affiliated to MGKV, only 21 have provided information in DCF on the said website, whereas only 183 colleges affiliated to Sampurnanad Sanskrit University have provided information, out of a total of 523 colleges.
