The University Grants Commission (UGC) of Bangladesh was established on 16 December 1972. It was created according to the Presidential Order (P.O. No 10 of 1973) of the Government of People's Republic of Bangladesh.
Purpose
The UGC of Bangladesh is the apex body of all the government-funded universities. Its mission is to ensure the quality of higher education throughout the country. Private universities must obtain permission from UGC before they can operate.
UGC was designed to maintain the autonomous nature of the universities. The underlying principle is that the Government should not deal directly with the universities, either individually or collectively; instead, it should deal with the UGC, which, in turn, deals directly with the universities.
UGC offers scholarships to outstanding students, funds research, and organizes seminars.
Structure
According to the Presidential Order, UGC is composed of a Chairman, 5 full-time members, and 9 part-time members.
