The Academic Staff Colleges (ASC) was started in the year 1986-87 to train the College and University teachers of the country. Presently there are 52 ASCs. The ASCs are conducting orientation programs, refresher courses and workshop for Principals. In addition to these ASCs, the UGC has identified 31 Universities and specialized institutions as UGC-Refresher Course Centers (UGC-RCC) to conduct
specialized refresher courses. The UGC has been providing cent percent financial assistance to the ASCs and UGC-RCCs. An innovative approach is the establishment of computer labs in each academic staff college. The 2006-07 budget allotted for this programme is Rs. 20 crores.
