About UTSAH (उत्साह)
Undertaking Transformative Strategies and Actions in Higher Education
The University Grants Commission developed a Portal called UTSAH (Undertaking Transformative Strategies and Actions in Higher Education). This Portal is expected to effectively track and support the implementation of the National Education Policy, 2020 and its strategic initiatives across the country's Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs).
This Portal also provides detailed information about UGC’s initiatives for qualitative reforms in higher education. In this regard, the Regulations, Guidelines, and Frameworks issued by the UGC will also be readily available through a hyperlink for the information of all stakeholders.
