Global Scholars to Teach in India
India may not yet have managed to get the Ivy
League to set up campus in India through the muchawaited Foreign Universities Bill but is close to roping
in over 200 academics from global varsities to teach in
India at $8,000- $12,000. Among those likely to touch
down to teach in Indian institutes soon are avid Dean
Shulman, Indologist and one of the world’s foremost
authorities on Indian languages and eminent gender
theorist and American philosopher Judith Butler. Both are
expected to teach courses at Delhi’s Jawaharlal Nehru
University. As per the agreement between the Ministry
of Human Resource Development and academics
from across countries to teach more than 200 short
term academic courses in Indian institutes starting this
November through its new scheme — Global Initiative
for Academics Network (GIAN). The first GIAN backed
course by a foreign faculty is expected to start with

IIPA NEWSLETTER/OCTOBER 2015
NIT Surathkal this November. GIAN aims at increasing
the footfalls of reputed international faculty to Indian
academic institutes, providing opportunities for both
students to interact with global academics and for the
faculty to engage and collaborate with them and develop
high quality study material through ongoing academic
relationships. While about 220 eminent academics have
nearly finalised teaching arrangements across institutes
so far, we are hoping to touch a figure of 500 by year end.
A number of academics from Germany, USA, Canada,
France and Australia have evinced considerable interest
in GIAN and academics from across top global varsities
including MIT, Oxford University, Cambridge, Stanford
University, University of Berkeley, and Imperial College
of London are queuing up. Spain, Brazil, Finland, Japan,
New Zealand, South Africa, Ireland, Russia, Norway,
Singapore and Sweden are among other nations sending
in academics to India. The Indian Government had last
year also engaged with Manjul Bhargava, R. Brandon
Fradd Professor of Mathematics at Princeton University,
to help pitch the GIAN scheme as a brand ambassador.
Over 50 courses by foreign academics are likely to
be taught at Central Universities. And it is not just big
varsities in metros that are drawing in academics. Among
the varsities where eminent academics will come are
Assam University, Mizoram University, Tezpur University,
University of Allahabad, Guru Ghasidas University
Bilaspur, JNU, University of Hyderabad and Central
University of Gujarat. The University Grants Commission
(UGC) that is coordinating for all non- Central Universities
will soon be holding a workshop to get GIAN going. The
Centre has backed GIAN with financial incentives on par
with what China offered global academics to teach at their
universities is also working favourably. Incidentally, a few
IITs and IIMs had raised concerns about paying this huge
a remuneration to the visiting faculty citing insufficiency
of funds available with them. Some of the IIMs that do
not take any financial support from the Centre had also
argued their inability to do so. The Centre is even pitching
in with additional funds where institutes may have cited
difficulty in paying the decided remuneration for the
visiting faculty. IIT Madras is learnt to be leading the
tally so far with over 25 courses expected to be taught
by visiting foreign faculty.
Interns to be Roped in for Policy Formulation
The Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT)
has sought nominations from Indian nationals who are
graduate, post-graduate or research students enrolled
in reputed universities or institutions in India or abroad
and preferably having specialisation in human resource
and associated subjects in public policy. The interns
may benefit by getting an exposure to the government
functioning and the policy issues in human resource
management in Government of India and contribute to
the policy formulation by generating policy inputs such
as empirical analysis, briefing reports, policy papers,
etc. Department may benefit from the additional
resources in the form of young talents and their outputs
which will add to its policy formulation base, according
to the objective of the scheme put out by the DoPT.
The period of internship will be for a minimum period
of two months. Interns may be given a stipend of Rs.
10,000 per month necessary to meet the conveyance
and other daily needs. It is neither a job nor a promise
for job in the future. The government has proposed to
engage ten interns for internship.
National Industrial Corridor Development Authority
to be Set Up
The Union Cabinet is likely to consider a proposal
to setup the National Industrial Corridor Development
Authority (NICDA) that would oversee the development
of all economic corridors in the country. With a corpus
of around Rs. 18,500 crore, the authority will supervise
the implementation and coordination among the five
industrial corridors in the works. The authority was to be
located in Pune but latest thinking is that it should be in
Delhi as industrial corridor projects require significant
inter-ministerial coordination. The Department of
Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP), which is the
nodal department for the development of corridors, has
suggested that the authority be headed by Shri Amitabh
Kant, Industry Secretary, and has a structure similar to
that of the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor Development
Corporation (DMICDC). Apart from DMIC, the government
is implementing four other economic corridors—ChennaiBengaluru Industrial Corridor, Vizag-Chennai Industrial
Corridor, Bengaluru-Mumbai Economic Corridor and
Amritsar Kolkata Industrial Corridor—which are at
various stages of development. The DMIC covers the
six states of Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Rajasthan, Madhya
Pradesh, Gujarat and Maharashtra, while the AKIC will
run through seven states of Punjab, Haryana, Uttar
Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Bihar, Jharkhand and West
Bengal. The BMEC covers Karnataka and Maharashtra,

the CBIC will run across Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and
Andhra Pradesh and the VCIC is intended to run across
Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. Japan has announced
financial support to an extent of $ 4.5 billion in the first
phase of the DMIC, while JBIC’s 26 per cent equity
shares in DMICDC aggregates to Rs. 26 crore. Similarly,
the Japan International Cooperation Agency has been
appointed as the nodal agency for implementation of
Chennai-Bengaluru Industrial Corridor.
Early Retirement for Slipshod Babus
Sending a clear message that inefficiency or a bad
reputation on account of probity would mean retirement
kicking in almost a decade in advance for senior
government officials, the Central Government has now
strengthened the review processes to compulsorily retire
such officers. Issuing guidelines to all ministries, the
Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) has stated
that services of those government officials which are
no longer useful to the general administration or whose
integrity and reputation is doubtful, must be compulsorily
retired from service. As per an existing rule FR 56 (J)
which has been rarely enforced, the performance of
Group A and B officials who have completed 50 years
and junior officials who have completed 55 years of
age must be reviewed and a decision taken whether
to compulsorily retire them before turning 60. Citing
Supreme Court judgements, DoPT has stated that
integrity of an employee, action or decisions taken by
the employee which do not appear to be above board,
complaints received against him or suspicious property
transactions, for which sufficient evidence may not be
there to initiate departmental proceedings should be
the factors considered to decide on prematurely retiring
an officer. Similarly, reports of conduct unbecoming of a
government servant may also form basis for compulsorily
retirement. The government has reconstituted review
committees to look into cases of officers turning 50 or 55
years as the case may be. Secretary of the concerned
department will head a review committee in case of
ACC appointees while in case of senior appointees in
boards like CBDT and CBEC, the review committee will
be headed by the chairman of such board. An additional
secretary or joint secretary will head review committees
in cases of junior officials. The Central Vigilance Officer
will be a part of the committee if an integrity issue is
involved. All reviews will be done six months before the
official turns 50 or 55 years as the case may be.
