Answer: C
Explanation
★The assertion is correct, since NAAC assesses and accredits both government and private higher education institutions. The reason is wrong, because the UGC does not limit its work to government institutions, and accreditation itself is carried out by NAAC rather than by the UGC. So A is correct but R is not correct.
