UGC relaxes entry rules for Foreign Educational Institutions

            First UGC said that only the top 500 world universities can enter into India..
Within few months, UGC says anyone can enter and sell degrees in India !!? 
What's next relaxation?! 

      Who cares for education?! 

         Government is busy with other critical issues...May be only the "MONEY" part of the education seems to be important for the HRD and the Government.. Not clear...

         Education is one among the priority sector for any Government. But here we are not able to provide better quality education to all. No matter it takes time.. 

         But the situation has further worsened after the privatization of higher education. No effective measure has been taken to curb the money makers in the name of private universities and colleges.

      To add to that now comes the FDI in education allowing everyone to enter into the Indian soil with not much quality regulations. 

   By nature we tend to get attracted by the high rise buildings and colour ful brochures rather than looking at the quality of education.  Here these foreign universities are now going to join hands with our own private universities who very well know how to tweak the systems..

   Here goes the link for more information on the recent amendments to the bill..
