💨 Abstract

A parliamentary panel has raised concerns about the draft Higher Education Commission of India (HECI) bill, expressing apprehension over its central government-heavy composition and insufficient state representation. The bill, which aims to replace the University Grants Commission (UGC) as a single regulator for higher education, is seen as potentially leading to the closure of rural institutions due to privatization.
