Viksit Bharat Shiksha Adhishthan Bill sets up single higher education regulator with three councils

The government's Viksit Bharat Shiksha Adhishthan Bill proposes a unified regulatory commission with three councils to guide universities toward independence and self-governance, emphasizing excellence through accreditation and autonomy, in line with National Education Policy 2020.

The Indian government plans to table the Viksit Bharat Shiksha Adhishthan Bill, establishing a single higher education commission overseen by three specialized councils. This aims to evolve universities and institutions into autonomous, self-regulating entities while building a transparent system for accreditation and standards.

Based on a draft reviewed by Hindustan Times, the bill targets institutions of national importance, granting them greater independence and focusing on quality enhancement amid broader reforms to position India as a developed nation.
