The UGC gets its funding from

AThe central government only ✓ Correct

BState governments

CBoth central and state governments

DNone of the above

Correct answer: (A) The central government only

Explanation

The UGC is funded by the central government alone, through grants from the Union budget.

State governments do not directly finance the UGC.

Joint central-and-state funding does not describe the UGC's source.

A 'none' response is unfounded since the central government clearly funds it.

The UGC in turn disburses grants to central, state and deemed universities.

It was established in 1956 by an Act of Parliament.
