UGC-Faculty Recharge Programme


Preamble: Genesis of the Programme

Taking note of steep decline in research environment in Indian Universities and stagnation of faculty and infrastructure, the Government of India, through the University Grants Commission, has decided to launch a new Programme called "UGC-Faculty Recharge Programme" to redress this situation. This is a pressing requirement since majority of our Universities, especially State Universities, have not recruited faculty on a significant scale for a long time and are in danger of losing more than a generation of researchers.
Lack of availability of faculty positions, besides other endemic problems associated with hiring of faculty, are often cited as causative factors of this state of affairs. The recent creation of new eight Indian Institutes of Technology, five Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research and sixteen Central Universities is anticipated to further aggravate this problem.
The Faculty Recharge Initiative offers an effective mechanism to address this problem and should provide a unique opportunity to the Universities aspiring to upgrade and rejuvenate faculty resources in their science - and engineering related departments. Under the Programme, fresh talent, at all levels of academic hierarchy, is to be inducted in selected departments / centers through a nationally-conducted competitive process and the inductees are to be placed as Assistant Professors, Associate Professors and Professors.
To impart distinct identity to these specially selected faculties, a prefix 'UGC' has been added to each of these categories. And, the faculties will be designated as UGC-Assistant Professors, UGC-Associate Professors and UGC-Professors, respectively. It is intended to ensure that individuals with exceptional creativity, zeal and commitment to research and teaching will be selected through this Programme. The positions will be tenable at Universities eligible to receive developmental funds under UGC.

Process

  • To select a faculty, the Faculty Recharge Initiative requires that the positions be advertised nationally (institutional websites, prominent national dailies) and internationally (Science, Nature, etc.) through a 'rolling advertisement' to reach out to draw the very best available talent on a regular basis. The scheme is open to first timers as well as to those already in service and wishing to relocate.
  • Initially, 200 faculty positions are available (2:2:1 at the level of Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, Professor, respectively). The intent is to induct up to 1000 faculty during the next few years. The UGC-faculty will receive emoluments at par with those of the Central University faculty.
  • Eligibility for various ranks will be as per the UGC qualifications. However, considering the special nature of the Programme and the Positions, the Desirable Qualifications, in respect of all ranks, will be the important determinant of selection. Depending on individual accomplishments and professional standing, the selection committees will decide at what level a particular candidate could be fitted in.
  • For SC, ST and other special category candidates, the reservation policy of the Govt. of India shall be followed.
  • The new faculty positions carry a start-up grant and provision for project-based funding. And, each candidate is required to submit a research project, briefly outlining its main thrust, novel features and expected research output.
  • Initial tenure of appointment will be 5 years, and, following a peer review, this may be terminated, extended or elevated to the next higher level. Subsequent evaluations will also follow a five year cycle but the 'Faculty Recharge' positions can, in principle, be carried through to superannuation (at 65 years). There is provision for mid-term appraisal during each of the five year tenures.
  • Concurrently, Vice Chancellors of Universities, who are interested in inducting fresh talent through the 'Faculty Recharge' Initiative, will be required by the UGC to execute a binding agreement (MoU prescribed by the UGC) to the effect that the host University will provide research facilities, opportunities for teaching (6 to 8 hrs per week) and research guidance (Ph.D.) as per UGC norms, and other facilities such as residential accommodation, etc. to the new inductees, at par with those available to the faculty of their own University.
