Concept

National higher-education bodies have different mandates: some manage information infrastructure, some advise on policy, some deliver programmes, and some coordinate educational media.

For an agency-identification question, match the target level and assigned function in the stem with the body’s documented mandate.

Application

The Consortium for Educational Communication (CEC), an Inter-University Centre of the UGC, was the lead partner for higher-education e-content under the Ministry’s National Mission on Education through ICT and developed e-content for undergraduate subjects. Therefore, the required organization is the Consortium for Educational Communication.

Contrast

The other bodies have different principal roles:

• INFLIBNET provides library-network, automation, and digital academic-resource services.

• The National Knowledge Commission was an advisory body concerned with knowledge-policy reform.

• Indira Gandhi National Open University is a central open university that delivers distance and online programmes.

Cross-check

The updated official UGC NET June 2014 Paper I answer key and CEC’s official description of its higher-education e-content role independently identify the same organization.

Hence, the answer is Consortium for Educational Communication.
