The State Higher Education Ministry has mandated universities and colleges to engage in three academic initiatives focused on enhancing research and student participation in democracy and election management. These initiatives, launched last month by the Election Commission of India through the Indian International Institute of Democracy and Election Management (IIIDEM), aim to foster academic engagement in these critical areas. The initiatives include an international academic conference, a student connect research challenge, and an academic outreach program. Participation is required from all institutions under the Commissioner of Collegiate Education, the Director of Technical Education, as well as deemed-to-be universities and private universities. This move is expected to strengthen the role of educational institutions in promoting democratic values and effective election management.
