💨 Abstract

The proposed Higher Education Commission of India (HECI) aims to replace various education regulators, including UGC and AICTE. However, a parliamentary panel has raised concerns that the reform could lead to closure of under-resourced rural institutions, potentially fueling privatization. The panel recommends a simplified hierarchy of regulatory bodies with adequate state representation to avoid excess centralization.
