Friends, As you know, the government has moved its bulldozers to the higher education sector with its proposal to table the Draft Higher Education Commission of India Bill in this monsoon session. This Bill plans to scrap the UGC and enforces absolute government control over colleges and universities. In order to fight this extremely regressive measure, we need as many people as possible to write in to the MHRD, expressing their opposition to the Bill. Please find below the link to a detailed clause-by-clause feedback, and it would need 2-3 minutes of your time to copy/paste/email a fitting response to the government's devious intentions. All you need to do is click on the link, follow the instructions and send an email by 7 July, 5 pm. Any citizen can send in feedback, so please do take out the time to do this. This email is absolutely crucial, in order to save the fortunes of millions of students/teachers/parents/citizens of the country. https://betteruniversities.in/2018/07/02/heci-act-draft-feedback-act-now/ Plea Dr. P.
