The selection procedures are good in UGC, they are fair and everything is open,my suggestion is increase contingent grant to 1 lakh and fix the sub-heads and let there be accountability like proper use of travel purchase of minimum consumables.Over all UGC is doing its best for higher education and reasonable research. Delay in releasing of grants should be taken care.

For a person who is already superannuated, is it necessary for an applicant to submit the endorsement from the head of the institution. Since the endorsement says that the 'the applicant shall be treated on duty'.
