NEP 2020 proposes the National Research Foundation as a central body to provide competitive grants and mentorship for research in universities and colleges. By simplifying access to funding and encouraging high-quality work in all disciplines, it creates a more research-friendly environment.
Option A:
Increasing administrative paperwork without additional support would reduce the time faculty have for research and teaching, so it works against a research-friendly ecosystem.
Option B:
This option correctly identifies NRF as the key institutional reform aimed at providing funding and mentorship for research across disciplines, thereby supporting a stronger research culture.
Option C:
Prohibiting interdisciplinary projects directly contradicts NEP 2020, which strongly encourages multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research.
Option D:
Banning social science research is completely at odds with NEP’s inclusive view of knowledge that values all disciplines, including social sciences.
