UGC launches WhatsApp channel for real-time updates on higher education

The UGC chairman M Jagadesh Kumar while launching the channel said, “The launch of the UGC India WhatsApp channel is a significant step towards fostering a more inclusive and informed higher education landscape. By embracing technology and utilising a widely used platform, the UGC is modernising its communication strategy and enabling stakeholders to navigate the information on higher education in real-time. This initiative sets a precedent for leveraging digital tools to enhance accessibility, transparency, and efficiency in education governance.”

Faculties of colleges and universities can benefit from the real-time information on modifications in curriculum, assessment methodologies and professional development opportunities through the WhatsApp channel. Students, on the other hand, will also be able to check the channel for updates on exams, scholarships, admissions and other relevant information on higher education.

This initiative, the chairman added, sets a precedent for leveraging digital tools to enhance accessibility, transparency and efficiency in education governance.
