The University Grants Commission (UGC) Tuesday released guidelines directing higher education institutions to empanel in-house artists/artisans, termed “kala gurus”, to “enrich learners with immense practical experience combined with creativity and ideas”.
The initiative is meant to bridge the gap between modern education and art and art forms, and to meet the needs of expansion of the higher education system in tune with the National Education Policy 2020.
