The University Grants Commission (UGC) has proposed a significant reform in degree courses by integrating two theoretical subjects with one practical subject, such as physics, chemistry, biology, and public health or economics, commerce, and Panchayati Raj. This initiative, announced by Dr. Malcolm S. Adiseshiah, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Madras, aims to provide students with practical experience in relevant fields or factories for one year. The Vice-Chancellor emphasized the need to shift the education system away from its current urban focus to better serve rural communities. Madurai University has been selected to implement this new curriculum, while Madras University is also exploring similar programs for colleges in rural areas. Additionally, Dr. Adiseshiah called for a review of the evaluation system to ensure diverse methods for assessing student performance, as currently, 30 percent of students come from only 20 percent of society. This reform is intended to broaden educational access and quality across India.
