Re: [MTC Global] Modi government to replace UGC, AICTE with one higher education regulator

Dear Sirs,
Great news indeed.
  • Digital platform for academic administration, Universities and Accreditation Bodies should also be included in the radical make-over in my opinion to eliminate duplication and overlap of processes.
Warm regards,
G.S.Autee

NEW DELHI: Big-bang education reform is on its way – the Modi government is all set to scrap the University Grants Commission (UGC) and the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and replace them with one higher education regulator, tentatively christened Higher Education Empowerment Regulation Agency (HEERA). 

The decision to go ahead with this radical change, long advocated by experts but never implemented, was taken after a meeting on education chaired by the the prime minister in early March. If required, and since setting up a new regulator may take some time, amendments to existing rules will be considered as an interim reform measure. 

Senior officials who spoke off record told ET that work is on at a rapid pace to frame the HEERA legislation. The human resource development (HRD) ministry and the Niti Aayog are working on the new law. A committee that has, among others, Niti Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant and higher education secretary KK Sharma as members, is working on the detailed blueprint.
