All Indian Universities Receive Access To Swedish Anti-Plagiarism Software Urkund
UGC.
Starting from 2 August, all Indian universities have received trial access to Swedish anti-plagiarism software Urkund, reports The Hindu. Final subscription will commence from 1 September.
“We have a two-pronged approach. As part of the exercise to prevent plagiarism in the coming years, we are providing free of cost anti-plagiarism software to all 900 universities, including private players. It will be available to teachers, students, researchers, everyone,” Human Resource Development Secretary K Subrahmanyam stated.
Last year, the central government had rolled out the University Grants Commission (Promotion of Academic Integrity and Prevention of Plagiarism in Higher Educational Institutions) Regulations, 2018 which envisioned the creation of department and institution level panels to specifically check the problem of plagiarism.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
