Singh said the Ministry will collaborate with the HRD Ministry to work out the modalities and see how over 5,000 scientists of the two departments of the Ministry--Science and Technology and Council of Scientific and Industrial Research-- can devote their time to take part in academic activities.
He said there would be a review and performance evaluation system to ensure successful implementation of new initiative.
"There will be a review every one year. The kind of lecturing...So that they can improve upon that. And every three years we would have a performance evaluation on the kind of work done by each individual scientist who are engaged in the teaching," Singh said.
The Minister said various academic institutions across the country would be covered under the programme but major focus would be on "public-funded educational institutions".
Singh said the Government was devising a methodology depending upon the scientists' area of interest, area of excellence and specialization.
