New Delhi. :The University Grants Commission (UGC) has requested Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) to submit consolidated reports of activities organised during the Decentralised Akhil Bharatiya Shiksha Samagam (ABSS) 2026, held in July to commemorate the sixth anniversary of the launch of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.
The communication has been addressed to Vice-Chancellors of universities and Directors/Principals of colleges, with institutions requested to upload their consolidated activity reports on the UGC's University Activity Monitoring Portal (UAMP) by September 15, 2026.
The Akhil Bharatiya Shiksha Samagam is organised every year in July to mark the anniversary of NEP 2020 and to review and deliberate on the progress made towards its implementation.
According to the UGC communication, institutions are expected to have conducted various activities during July 2026 to mark the sixth anniversary of NEP 2020. These activities were aimed at strengthening awareness, participation and ownership of ongoing educational reforms under the policy.
What Information Has UGC Asked Institutions to Submit?
The UGC has asked HEIs to prepare a consolidated report covering the activities conducted during the July 2026 observance of ABSS.
The report should highlight:
-
Activities organised by the institution
-
Key deliberations held during the events
-
Innovative initiatives undertaken
-
Best practices identified or implemented
-
Outcomes emerging from the activities
-
Recommendations for further strengthening educational reforms
The requirement is intended to provide a consolidated picture of how institutions participated in the decentralised ABSS 2026 activities and contributed to discussions around the implementation of NEP 2020.
Deadline for ABSS 2026 Report Submission
HEIs have been asked to submit their consolidated reports latest by September 15, 2026.
The reports are to be uploaded through the University Activity Monitoring Portal (UAMP) of the UGC at:
uamp.ugc.ac.in
Institutions should ensure that the report contains relevant information about the activities conducted in July 2026, along with the key outcomes, initiatives and recommendations emerging from them.
ABSS and NEP 2020 Implementation
The ABSS provides an annual platform for stakeholders in education to discuss the implementation and progress of NEP 2020. The decentralised approach enables universities, colleges and other educational institutions to organise activities and discussions at their own institutional level.
The UGC's latest communication seeks to capture these institutional-level activities through consolidated reporting.
For universities and colleges, the submission provides an opportunity to document initiatives undertaken during the sixth anniversary of NEP 2020 and highlight innovative practices and outcomes emerging from their respective institutions.
What Should Universities and Colleges Do?
Institutions that organised ABSS-related activities during July 2026 should compile the relevant information into a consolidated report before the September 15 deadline.
The report should clearly document the activities, deliberations, innovations, best practices, outcomes and recommendations arising from the events.
HEIs are therefore advised to complete the compilation and submission process within the prescribed timeline through the UAMP portal.
