New Delhi: The University Grants Commission (UGC) has asked varsities in the country to put up notice boards for ensuring awareness about the establishment of grievance redressal mechanism and their students grievances portal.
The universities have also been asked to ensure they have grievance redressal cells manned by a nodal officer.
"All universities and higher educational institutions have been directed (HEls) to have a notice or flex board fixed to ensure publicity/awareness of the establishment of grievance redressal mechanism and UGC's students grievances portal," the commission said in a communique to varsities.
