In conformity with the National Policy on Education 1986 (revised in 1992), a programme of vocationalisation of education at the first degree level was launched by the UGC from 1994-95. Funds to the tune of Rs.26 Crores were provided by the Ministry of Human Resource Development for implementation of the programme.
Moreover, on the recommendations of the Standing Committee on Vocational Education (SCORE) and its sub-committee/regional committee constituted for the purpose, the UGC identified 209 institutions (19 Universities and 190 Colleges) in the first instance, for starting vocational courses at the first degree level during 1994-95. These institutions introduced one to three vocational courses in 35 subjects identified by the Core Committee.
