13. If one goes through the bibliographical details further closely, and one who has already seen the published dissertations, he can asses the intensity of earlier and later dissertations. It can obviously be concluded that earlier researches were comparative, intensive and of high standard, But there is a gradual fall in quality with the increasing quantity. Though this gradual fall of standard could be seen in almost all the subjects of Humanities and Social Sciences due to rush and hurry for degree, yet some other reasons should not be ignored.
14. There is no co-ordination in the research-work conducted or being carried out at present. Simultaneously the research work is being done on the same subject, same theme and on same lines. It clearly indicates that the researcher, the supervisor and the members of the Research committes are not aware of the works already done and being carried out. Even in many cases the works published are not noticed before registration. The bibliographies and Journals which must be seen before undertaking the research work, are not consulted.
15. Lack of proper facilities on the part of the university and lack of traditional back-ground, hurry for the Doctorate Degree and negligence of the responsibility undertaken on the part of researchers and sometimes of supervisors too are some of the important factors for the decline of the standard.
Role of University Grants Commission
1. It is on the part of the University Grants Commission to provide guidelines for Perspective Planning of Higher Education and Research in Jainology and Prākrits. More important it is, because Higher Education and Research in Jainology and Prākrits are yet to be properly introdued and organised in the universities.
