HOPE FOR 44 DEEMED VARSITIES - Govt
asks UGC to hold fresh inspections
Offering hope to 44 deemed
universities, the Union ministry of human resource development has asked the University
Grants Commission (UGC) to conduct fresh inspections.
These
deemed universities came under the scanner in 2009 following an adverse report
by a government panel. Uncertainty on their status has continued since then.
Eight
years ago, MHRD set up the Tandon Committee to examine 126 deemed universities.
The committee's report found 46 of them “unworthy“of deemed university status. Another
44 were found deficient on many counts, while the performance of 38 was found
satisfactory. Uncertainty over the “deemed“status of these institutions across
the country continued till date and some of them sought legal recourse.
According to a senior HRD official, “The government wants that there should be
some clarity. Therefore the ministry has once again asked UGC to conduct fresh
inspections so that whichever of these universities that can be allowed to
retain deemed status can do so. This will also ensure that others are removed
from the list and the matter is fully resolved. “
