"We request your support to promote the graduate income index (GII) by circulating this letter to universities and colleges offering UGC approved four-year degree programmes such as BTech/BE/BPharm/HMCT, except agri and allied courses," read the UGC notice.
ICAR will be creating an alumni database by launching the income index under the National Agricultural Higher Educational Project (NAHEP) project. NAHEP was launched with the financial assistance from the World Bank in 2017. The overall aim of the project is to develop resources and mechanisms for supporting infrastructure, faculty and student advancement.
