priority areas of research from time to time. Since its inception, more than
500 researches have been completed under ERIC support.
The department has published the ERIC Guidelines in the form of a booklet
and circulated it. The Hindi version is under print. The guidelines have also been
put up on the NCERT Website. Priority areas of research are: Curricular Areas,
National Concerns, Systemic Concerns and Pedagogic Practices and Learning
Process. It is also published in NCERT journals and University News for wider
dissemination. The department has also been taking up follow up action in different
matters of on-going ERIC projects.
Being the secretariat of ERIC, the DERPP has been actively supporting the
research projects recommended by ERIC academically, administratively and
financially. The department assists the ERIC in screening of new research projects
and monitoring the progress of the old ones. A Screening-cum-Progress
Monitoring Committee (SPMC), a sub-committee of ERIC, meets for scrutinising
the fresh proposals as well as for reviewing the progress report of on-going projects
every 3-4 months or as per need. In the current financial year (2010-11), two
meetings of SPMC were held at NIE, New Delhi on 20 July 2010 and 11 March
2011. In the meeting held on 20 July 2010, 12 fresh proposals and 2 revised
proposals were placed before the committee. 3 proposals were recommended
and revision was sought in case of two proposals. Three progress reports were
also placed before the SPMC. In the meeting held on 11 March 2011, 7 new
proposals and 5 progress reports were put up. Among these, 2 proposals were
suggested for revision.
During the intervening period after the 41 st meeting of ERIC, 20 fresh research
proposals were received which were then screened through the SPMC. During
the same period, 6 research projects have been completed. The number of ongoing
research projects is 33.
