Dear all,
The concern of govt and UGC for quality of research in universities is natural keeping the present status of research in view.
However, the issue of outsourcing is a bit debatable. In pure science and social science subjects, local faculty may be adequate as research guide. But in Management Education, in addition to conceptual knowledge, practical exposure to the research subject is necessary condition to be an effective guide for quality research.
This incidentally is not necessarily available in-house in all the universities. Outside support as guide or co-guide is, therefore, a must. The issues of research in management discipline probably need to be dealt with separately.

Dear All,--The Move is ok and well accepted.But we all know in Management education the action happensoutside the academia unlike other faculties.To strengthen the Industry // academia interactionsinnovation and creativity it is necessary to involveoutsiders . Only then quality research will take place.More than 70% of research today takes place today to fulfillAcademic criterion which may or may not add current pool of knowledge.How ill relevant research take place and resources devoted beutilized efficiently if we do not allow people who have immense expertiseand experience in Research?Thanks.Rajendra.Deshpande..B.Pharm.(Nagpur).MMM.(Bajaj.Inst).PGDIT./PhD.Fellow at Central University.School Of .Gandhian Thought.+91 9326354999On Thu, Jul 9, 2015 at 5:31 PM, Prof. Bholanath Dutta <bnath.dutta@gmail.com> wrote:--The University Grants Commission (UGC) has directed the Vice Chancellors of all universities across the country to ensure that the research supervisors for guiding MPhil/PhD students are allocated from amongst the regular faculty members at the university teaching department or its affiliated PG colleges/institutes.
"It has come to the notice of the UGC that some universities are hiring the services of the supervisors who do not happen to be regular teachers of those universities or their affiliated PG colleges/institutes for awarding MPhil/PhD degrees. This practice is in violation of the UGC (minimum standards and procedure for awarding MPhil/PhD) Regulations, 2009," maintains a UGC communiqué.
The communiqué, shot off on July 6 by Dr Jaspal S Sandhu, UGC Secretary, clarifies that any PhD/MPhil degree awarded by a university under the supervision of a supervisor who is not a faculty member of the university or its affiliated PG colleges/institutes would be in violation of the UGC Regulations. It warns the Vice Chancellors/officials concerned that any violation of the regulations would be dealt with seriously.
The step comes after a representation on the "outsourcing of PhDs" submitted to the UGC authorities by Prof SPS Dahiya, head of the department of English and foreign languages at MDU here. "I am grateful to the UGC authorities for issuing the clarification in the larger academic interest," said Prof Dahiya, who had also moved the Supreme Court regarding the matter.
Dr Raj Kumar, president of the Haryana Federation of University and College Teachers Organisations (HFUCTO), has also welcomed the UGC move.
Dr Raj Kumar had also submitted a representation to the UGC authorities in this regard in 2013, pointing out how many private universities across the country were flouting the UGC regulations by allowing a researcher to work for his PhD at any university/institute across the country under the guidance of teachers of other universities. In certain cases, the research supervisors were from outside the country, reported Tribune.
