About NRCB

The UGC decentralized its functioning by opening seven Regional Offices in the country since 1994, in a phased manner, for easy access and speedy release of grants and implementation of various schemes / programmes relating to colleges. Later on, one of the UGC Regional Office, viz. Northern Regional Office (NRO), Ghaziabad was converted into "Northern Regional Colleges Bureau" and shifted from Ghaziabad to Delhi at 35, Feroz Shah Road, New Delhi w.e.f. 25-09-2001.
