According to the ToI report, the topics include various welfare schemes and programmes of the state and central governments.
Among them are: Prime Minister Narendra Modi's pet project 'Swachh Bharat Abhiyan', Gujarat's model schemes like Kanya Kelavani, Gunotsav and MA Yojana and Sardar Patel Awas Yojna.
The students can choose from a range of topics--'Education of minorities — A critical study'; 'Gujarat: Good governance for growth'; and 'Comprehensive analysis of growth of water in seven reservoirs of Saurashtra through SAUNI Yojana' among others.
A U Patel, former vice-chancellor of Gujarat University, believes that the initiative will make students pick "relevant hypothesis" for thesis.
Patel said that PhD students would be able to identify loopholes in a particular scheme or programme.

It is actually a good idea. The defense department in the US encourages projects that help the US military. So many new discoveries in science were made through such support. In fact, if the US didn't do this in the past, many new scientific discoveries would not have taken place at such a pace.
In India, Sikular crooks whine a lot when some good ideas come from people like Modi. Hopefully, the youngsters will see through the CONgame.

this is a terrible idea. what if a doctoral student does not want to do research on the govt sanctioned topics, but on some other topic of his choice? is this not an instance of original thinking being impeded?

encouraging such projects is different from asking research scholars to only do research on govt sanctioned topics.
