Separate process to rank small varsities in future: Javadekar

Union HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar Saturday said there would a separate ranking process for small universities in the country in future.

He said since the 'no detention policy' might spoil the education, the government plans to implement outcome-based learning modules in primary education to map the learning process of each student.

The minister was speaking at the convocation function of the Goa University here. Governor and Chancellor of the university, Mridula Sinha, was also present.

University Vice Chancellor Prof Varun Sahni, who also spoke on the occasion, said it was not fair that all the universities, irrespective of their size, are given ranking through a common process.

In his response, Javadekar said, "There would be a separate ranking process for smaller universities in future."
On the Right to Education (RTE) and the 'no detention policy', Javadekar said, "We need to check whether we are providing outcome-based education right from the primary education."
