In a bid to encourage colleges to conduct seminars and conferences for students and faculty, the Tamil Nadu State Council for Higher Education has introduced a new scheme.
The Council has called on universities, government and aided arts and science colleges to conduct workshops under ‘partial financial assistance’ scheme for the academic year 2022-23 before May 22.
The colleges will get ₹40,000 to conduct two-day international conference. For conducting a day’s national seminar/workshop ₹10,000 would be given, according to the guidelines issued by the member-secretary S. Krishnasamy. A college that conducts a two-day national seminar or a one-day international seminar will receive ₹20,000. Re-appropriation of funds would not be entertained, the official added.
