NRF core objective – UGC NET Question

NRF is designed as a funding and facilitation body to strengthen research in universities and colleges. It will support projects in sciences, social sciences, arts and humanities. The goal is to build a robust research culture throughout the higher education system, not just in elite institutions.

Option A:
Regulating school exams is not part of NRF’s mandate; that lies with assessment bodies and boards.

Option B:
This option reflects NEP’s intent to make research more inclusive and adequately funded across the system.

Option C:
Sports tournaments, while important, are not the focus of a research foundation.

Option D:
Accreditation is managed through NAC and related bodies, not NRF.
