5. The universities should try to generate income internally by tuition, admission and examination Notes
fees, hostel and mess fees and other such charges.
6. While increasing the charges of different services, new fellowship and scholarship programmes
could be introduced.
7. The number of academic and non-academic staff should be cut when not required because it
becomes an additional load on the maintenance grants. Like when government starts one new scheme
then it creates few posts for that but even after the completion of that scheme those created posts
remain in existence sometimes on humanitarian ground and sometimes because of this content has
been taken from the “Guidelines for general assistance to central, deemed and state universities
during the X plan 2002-2007”.
8. When universities generate funds internally, then it get adjusted against payable maintenance
grants and this retards universities from savings. Hence, universities should be allowed to retain
these savings.
9. The universities should have more power regarding the withdrawal of affiliation of colleges as
they know better about their colleges.
10. There should be some incentive schemes for the universities who are performing well. Because
rewards are as necessary as punishments to keep the spirit up of the universities and institutions.
