UoM defers dual-degree launch
Chennai: The syndicate of the (UoM) deferred the decision to allow students pursue two degrees at the same time. According to officials, a decision will be taken after unveiling the State Education Policy (SEP) for higher education. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now According to the draft guidelines, students pursuing a degree in regular mode will be allowed to pursue a degree in distance mode simultaneously from this academic year (2025-26). Students studying in distance mode programmes will be allowed to enroll in another distance mode programme. The university placed the draft guidelines for the approval of the syndicate on Monday. "The state govt is expected to unveil the SEP for higher education soon. So, the higher education department wanted to defer a decision on introducing dual degree at UoM," a syndicate member said. "This initiative would allow students to pursue a degree of their choice in addition to what they are studying. It cannot be seen as a suggestion from National Education Policy (NEP) alone. This also would have helped the university to increase enrollment in distance mode courses," said a senior professor from the varsity. The (UGC) issued a notification in 2022, and the university decided to implement the same from 2022-23. Professors said this was one of the student-centric initiatives by the UGC. The state govt also informed the syndicate that all the faculty members will be recruited by Teachers Recruitment Board (TRB). More than two-thirds of its faculty positions are lying vacant. The syndicate also decided to withdraw the agenda to reduce pay scale for existing non-teaching staff following a protest. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now "All the university staff in the state will get a common pay scale. So, the pay scale revision will be applicable only to the new staff members. The govt also informed that the non-teaching staff would be recruited by TNPSC," another syndicate member said. Syndicate members said there was opposition to handing over the university's land at Purasawalkam to CMDA for constructing a public library and co-working space. The syndicate also allowed a dual degree programme with Melbourne University. The university is already offering a three-year BS blended programme in collaboration with Melbourne University. Now, these students will have an opportunity to pursue a two-year basic programme at the University of Madras and a two-year advanced level with Melbourne University.

Empowering Vision India 2050 - Financial Literacy is the Cornerstone for India''s Economic Leap
Bengaluru, Karnataka, India (NewsVoir) Vision 2050: Ambitions Unveiled India's Vision 2050 is a bold roadmap with far-reaching aspirations. At its heart lies an ambition to transform India into a developed nation by mid-century—achieving a per-capita GDP of $16,000 (PPP), fueled by AI-driven innovation, enhanced digital infrastructure, and cutting-edge fintech solutions. Redefining Socioeconomic Progress The Vision places heavy emphasis on education, healthcare, and broad-based financial inclusion. Its success hinges not just on technological advancements but on deep-rooted human capital development. The Financial Literacy Gap: A National Challenge Despite progress, India faces a pervasive deficit in financial literacy. As of recent data, only about 27% of Indian adults demonstrate basic financial literacy, trailing the global benchmark of roughly 42%. Disparities amongst demographies are stark—women hover around 21%, and rural residents at 24%, significantly behind their urban and male counterparts. The consequences are palpable: an underwhelming 5% of Indians invest in the stock market, compared to 15–20% globally, while just 18% invest in mutual funds versus 65% globally. When Low Knowledge Meets High Risk As fintech and smartphones democratise financial access, the lack of literacy casts a dangerous shadow. The year 2024 alone saw Indians lose over Rs. 22,845 crore—a staggering 206% year-on-year increase—to financial cyber fraud. Over 36 lakh such incidents were reported. From scams that target trust to outright deception, digital fraud has become both sophisticated and pervasive. In Greater Gurugram, for example, 40% of cyber fraud cases in the first half of 2025 were linked to investment bait schemes, though enhanced awareness and law enforcement have helped significantly reduce losses—from Rs. 155 crore in 2024 to Rs. 80 crore in 2025. Why Financial Literacy Matters • Empowerment Through Awareness: Financially literate citizens are better equipped to manage their money, select suitable financial products, and shield themselves from scams. • Boosting Inclusion & Equity: Literacy enables underserved populations to step into formal finance, cutting reliance on informal credit while enhancing fairness and reducing poverty. • Economic Multiplier: Broader engagement in savings, banking, and investment deepens liquidity, stimulates capital flows, and strengthens financial intermediation. • Consumer Stability: Savvier financial behaviour supports sustained consumer demand, diminishes default risks, and enhances macroeconomic resilience. Educational Reform: NEP 2020 and 2025 Onward India's National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, along with its anticipated evolution post-2025, aims to integrate life skills—including financial literacy—into school curricula. This early exposure approach mirrors success stories in countries like Norway and Sweden, where financial clarity among youth lays the groundwork for lifelong fiscal responsibility. A National Imperative Financial literacy is not just a personal asset—it's a pillar of national progress. By embedding financial education into foundational learning and raising public awareness, India can build a financially informed, empowered, and self-reliant citizenry. In turn, this will accelerate economic stability and elevate the nation toward its Vision 2050 goals.
