I am pleased to put on records that Shri R Subrahmanyam, IAS, Additional Secretary (TEL) & Mission
Director, NME-ICT visited the Centre during the year and spent more than four hours with the scientists

and staff of the Centre. He was appreciative of the activities and services offered by the INFLIBNET
Centre and made several suggestions for improvement of our services and for extending its access to
wider academic community in India.

The Centre felicitated Prof. Ved Prakash for successful completion of his five years term as Chairman,

th
UGC and for his contributions to the INFLIBNET Centre during his tenure during the 17 Meeting of the
th
Governing Council of the INFLIBNET Centre held on Friday, 10 March, 2017 at the UGC Main Office, New
Delhi. A presentation was made during the meeting on achievements and activities of the INFLIBNET
Centre during his tenure. Prof. Ved Prakash congratulated the INFLIBNET Centre for its contributions

not only to the academic community in the country but also to the UGC for automating their
scholarship, fellowship, schemes and activities.

The Centre continued to maintain the websites of the UGC and Development of Grant Management

System, e-Scholarship-Fellowship Award for the UGC. Interfaces for four scholarships / fellowships were
developed during the year. Applications were invited and processed using these interfaces.

I am sure that the services of the Centre were delivered to the users in universities and colleges more
efficiently and effectively during the year. The Centre is, however, open to receive suggestions and
comments from our user community.
