Prof. Manoj Tiwari, Vice-Chancellor of the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) has been appointed as the Chairman of the West Zone Committee, a key group tasked with the preparation of the Viksit Bharat Vision Document, a comprehensive blueprint for the nation’s development.
This ambitious project will see collaboration across the spectrum of India’s higher education institutions. A total of 153 universities, encompassing state public universities, state private universities, and those recognized as Deemed to be Universities, have been selected to contribute their insights and expertise towards this national vision. The initiative is underpinned by the University Grants Commission of India (UGC), which has established five Zonal Committees to facilitate this nationwide academic endeavor.
Under the guidance of Prof. Tiwari and his counterparts in other zones, these universities will engage in thorough deliberations to forge a vision document that captures the aspirations, suggestions, and ideas of the youth and other stakeholders. This document will focus on various developmental aspects, aiming to consolidate a forward-thinking approach to India’s growth.
Each Zonal Committee, led by its respective chairman, is set to submit a comprehensive report by the 15th of April, 2024, to the UGC. This concerted effort marks a significant stride towards realizing a developed India, with the educational sector at the forefront of this transformative journey.
