Abstract

In June 2018, the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), ​Government of India released a draft proposal for establishing new institution - the Higher Education Commission of India (Repeal the University Grants Commission Act) Bill 2018, especially intended to replace the UGC Act. 

It was intended to seek for comments, suggestions from educationists, stakeholders and general public. Since then, ​ the discussions on the HECI bill have highlighted many concerns across the county. ​

It is imperative to understand the objectives of the proposed bill, which has many implications on the higher education of the country, the proposed panel discussion would enhance public understanding on the issue.
