UGC raises research scholars of Allahabad University by Rs 3000
The research scholars of Allahabad University, or for that matter their counterparts from any of the Central Universities of the country, who are not getting any other fellowships would soon be getting an enhanced amount of monthly scholarship from University Grants Commission (UGC). The monthly scholarship, which was of Rs 5000 per month has been enhanced to Rs 8000.
Pointedly, UGC, in its endeavour to enhance the research work at universities of the country, had earlier declared that all those research scholars of different institutions who are not getting fellowship under Junior Research Fellows (JRF) and Senior Research Fellow (SRF) or for that sake funding from any other agency, would be given a monthly fellowship of Rs 5000 which would be payable for a period of Four years. Later, a circular from UGC made some amendments after which the monthly fellowship of Rs 5000 was to be paid only for three years and extendable for one more year, but in few cases.
Pointedly, IRSA had send a demand letter signed by research scholars of BHU and Allahabad University to MHRD including fellowship enhancement, contingency enhancement, risk allowance, recruitment and centre for CSIR test in Allahabad on April 5.
Giving the information, the General Secretary of Indian Research Scholar Association (IRSA) Pramod Pandey said that in the UGC, in its 485th meeting held on 22nd May, has approved the issue of raised fellowship. “The agenda at the meeting was to consider enhancement of fellowship to full time MPhil/PhD scholars in Central Universities who are not in receipt of any other fellowship, the Commission approved the enhancement of fellowship as under to full time MPhil/Phd scholars in Central Universities, who are not NET qualified and are not receiving fellowship grant under any other scheme”, said Pandey.
This enhanced amount of monthly fellowship has been raised to Rs 8000 from the earlier amount of Rs 5000. Likewise, the fellowship for full time MPhil scholars has also been raised to Rs 5000 from the earlier amount of Rs 3000.
