The amended UGC Act, effective June 17, 1972, has helped to bring about restraint in the establishment of new universities and colleges.

The Commission is taking steps to strengthen science teaching in undergraduate colleges and to revise the syllabi. (SW) Dacca : Bangladesh; 1974. 1974. 1974 Text 29 p. : microfiches : positive. eng
