To combat the menace of ragging, the University Grants Commission (UGC) will bring a mobile app which will help students register complaints in case they face any problems.
"The UGC has decided to bring an app as it would help them file complaints where-ever they are. Earlier also there was provision as per which students could file complaints online, but an app would make it easier," a senior official said.
The higher education regulator in a recent meeting has also formed a three member committee which will look into the various aspects related to making of campuses of Central Universities wi-fi enabled.
The committee comprises Central University of Kashmir VC Prof Me'raj Ud Din Mir, Central University of South Bihar VC Prof H C S Rathore and Central University of Haryana VC Prof R C Kuhad, it is learnt.
The HRD ministry plans to install Wifi in all Central Universities. The committee could also co-opt members from the IT sector for effective implementation of the project.
