Abstract

The National Education Policy 2020, suggests several policy measures for offering multidisciplinary education. Based on these recommendations, the UGC Expert Committee has prepared a document on “Guidelines for Transforming Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) into multidisciplinary institutions.” The strategy proposed in the NEP 2020 to end fragmentation of higher education is to transform HEIs into multidisciplinary universities, colleges and clusters and to convert them into knowledge hubs. The UGC guidelines discuss in detail the objectives and approaches, requirements, general conditions, academic collaborations between the institutions, role of universities and State Governments, etc. The present article has discussed in detail the particulars essential for merging higher educational institutions into multidisciplinary institutions. It is hoped that this article will enlighten all the State Governments and Universities across the country to frame appropriate strategies based on local circumstances to transform HEIs into multidisciplinary institutions.
