Human Resource Development Minister Dr Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank has asked the officers to prepare an action plan to fill vacant seats at every level in educational institutions across the country.
Mr Nishank said this at a review meeting of the schemes and programmes of HRD Ministry in New Delhi today. He also stressed on the mandatory training of teachers in all educational institutions.
The Minister emphasized on bringing the dropouts into the mainstream education system. He said, in open distance learning, we should improve the quality of education and increase the credibility of the degree provided by the open universities.
During the review meeting, Mr Pokhriyal advised the officers to focus on the effective implementation of the schemes at the grass root level. Minister further directed that the Ministry will take strict action if affiliated institutions fail to implement the guidelines issued by the ministry from time to time.
