| What does the Rigveda concept 'Aano bhadra krtavo yantu vishwatah' mean? | Let noble thoughts come from all directions | University Grants Commission 7 Guidelines for Transforming Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) into multidisciplinary institutions 1. Preamble Aano bhadra krtavo yantu vishwatah Let noble thoughts come from all directions This profound concept from the Rigveda illustrates the recognition of limitless learning in the Vedic Period. India has a rich tradition of the multidisciplinary approach since ages, as exemplified by the ancient institutions such as Nalanda and Takshashila. These higher learning centres of ancient India were known for teaching every branch of knowledge, such as singing, painting, chemistry, mathematics; vocational fields such as carpentry, clothes-making; professional fields such as medicine and engineering; and soft skills such as communication, discussion and debate. | 179 | definition | 1.000 | Preamble Aano bhadra krtavo yantu vishwatah Let noble thoughts come from all directions This profound concept from the Rigveda illustrates the recognition of limitless learning in the Vedic Period. | 8 | page=8,block=0 | 0.700 | valid |
| What does the National Education Policy 2020 define as an HEI? | a university or a college | Over the centuries the broader learning opportunities got narrowed and gradually in recent years the focus moved to specialization in particular subjects resulting in the growth of single-stream institutions. The National Education Policy 2020 (NEP 2020), suggests several policy directions for offering multidisciplinary education. The NEP 2020 aims to develop intellectual, aesthetic, social, physical, emotional, ethical and moral facets of an individual in an integrated manner, thereby contributing directly to transformation of the country and making India a global knowledge superpower. What constitutes an HEI, that is, a university or a college, is also defined in the NEP 2020. Large multidisciplinary HEIs to be established in or near every district by 2030 is one of the most significant recommendations in the NEP 2020. | 628 | definition | 1.000 | What constitutes an HEI, that is, a university or a college, is also defined in the NEP 2020. | 8 | page=8,block=0 | 0.700 | valid |
| What model is suggested for introducing multidisciplinary education in HEIs? | a hub and spoke model where a certain number of HEIs will be identified as the hub institutions and transform them into multidisciplinary institutions. | Role of the parent university To identify potentials of colleges and to encourage them by providing timely approval to their proposals and help to nominate representatives in various committees for the proper functioning of cluster colleges and enable collaboration between institutions. 2. Role of the State government Given the size of our Higher Education System and the variety of HEIs with many single-stream institutions, it may not be viable to introduce multidisciplinary education in all HEIs simultaneously. for all HEIs to plan to become multidisciplinary institutions, a hub and spoke model where a certain number of HEIs will be identified as the hub institutions and transform them into multidisciplinary institutions. These ‘hub’ HEIs can, in turn, develop a specified number of ‘spoke’ institutions. | 581 | definition | 1.000 | for all HEIs to plan to become multidisciplinary institutions, a hub and spoke model where a certain number of HEIs will be identified as the hub institutions and transform them into multidisciplinary institutions.

| What role should existing education departments have in supporting new ones? | The existing Education Departments may do hand-holding to guide the new Departments of Education. | an attempt should be made to open Education Departments in select multidisciplinary universities and colleges. Subsequently, other universities and colleges may be taken up in a phased manner for the purpose. Further, these, along with the existing Education Departments in universities and colleges, should be involved in the implementation of NEP 2020 — the already existing Education Departments may be upgraded to play a strategic role in the implementation of NEP 2020 and the planned Departments need to take initiative to supplement the national and institutional initiatives toward its implementation. The existing Education Departments may do hand-holding to guide the new Departments of Education. The norms and standards followed by UGC should be applicable to these selected institutions. | 610 | relationship | 0.970 | Further, these, along with the existing Education Departments in universities and colleges, should be involved in the implementation of NEP 2020 — the already existing Education Departments may be upgraded to play a strategic role in the implementation of NEP 2020 and the planned Departments need to take initiative to supplement the national and institutional initiatives toward its implementation.

| Why are micro, small, and medium enterprises significant to India's economy? | their contribution in providing employment and to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) | Collaboration of HEI clusters with industries and/or government and non- government organizations Most industries in the manufacturing sector in India are in the micro, small and medium category and they largely lack the capacity, in terms of R&D strengths, to face global challenges. It is important that graduates assume multidisciplinary roles. With their contribution in providing employment and to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) they form an important part of the National economy. the Micro Small and Medium Enterprise (MSME) sector, in general, is characterized by very low investment in R&D and as a consequence, the research activities in the sector are always low key. | 353 | relationship | 0.970 | With their contribution in providing employment and to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) they form an important part of the National economy. | 25 | page=25,block=0 | 0.700 | valid |

| What enables the synthesis of new knowledge and innovations in multidisciplinary research? | The high level of diversity, such as different disciplinary experts and the rapid sharing of information and resources | The necessary terms and conditions shall be decided mutually by both institutions in accordance with the provisions of the Act and or regulations governing the State university or Central University, or deemed-to-be university, or private university. 11. Multidisciplinary Research in HEI Clusters Over the past decades there has been increased growth in Multidisciplinary Research in Higher Education. The high level of diversity, such as different disciplinary experts and the rapid sharing of information and resources involved in Multidisciplinary Research enables the synthesis of new knowledge, increased production of original, creative work, innovations and patents. Multidisciplinary Research, therefore, plays a crucial role in finding solutions to the challenges currently facing society. | 403 | relationship | 0.970 | Multidisciplinary Research in HEI Clusters Over the past decades there has been increased growth in Multidisciplinary Research in Higher Education.
