COIMBATORE: The PSG College of Arts and Science (PSG CAS) will organise a two-day national workshop on "Review and Progression of CPE (College with Potential for Excellence) Colleges" on March 22 and 23. To be organised under the aegis of the University Grants Commission (UGC), 47 colleges from all over India with CPE status will attend the workshop. This was announced at a press conference, which was jointly addressed by K. Gunasekaran, Joint Secretary of UGC, K. Ramamurthy Naidu, UGC Member and B. Sampath Kumar, Secretary of PSG CAS, here on Wednesday.
Introduced
During the Tenth Plan, the UGC introduced a scheme entitled "College with Potential for Excellence", to identify colleges that had the potential to do excellent work in teaching and research and awarded the CPE status. According to the guidelines prepared for the scheme, the colleges were eligible for financial assistance ranging from Rs. 35 lakhs to Rs. 100 lakhs, depending on their affiliated, autonomous or accredited status. The 47 colleges that had been identified in September 2004 required a review of the progression they had made to enable an objective evaluation of the scheme by the UGC. The workshop would serve as a common platform for all the CPE colleges to share their experience and to benefit from the experiments made by the other colleges in the pursuit of quality in higher education. Members from UGC, Vice-Chancellors, experts and educationists would deliberate on issues like global standards of excellence in higher education, curriculum development, promotion of skill-oriented programmes and enhancement of quality in teaching and learning processes.
