Derecognising deemed universities: Government

A DAY after Central government submitted an affidavit to snatch the accreditation of 44 deemed universities spread across India in the honourable Supreme Court, it had said interest of the students would be taken care of and there is no move from government to play with, and jeopardise the career of the lakhs of student studying in these universities.

Addressing media persons on the issue, Cabinet Minister for Human Resource and Development Kapil Sibal said, "We are going to take care of all students and government's intention is not to put any student in problem. All students will get a university degree. Technically, we haven't derecognised any deemed university. We have moved the Supreme Court with an affidavit and a report by the expert committee on deemed universities.”

Till Tuesday (January 19) morning, there was an uncertainty and nervousness among the students and pall of gloom was clearly noticed, as derecognising universities would have left many students in darkness. Nevertheless, with government coming forward to rescue these students, a ray of hope has emerged.

It is really a commendable move from the government, students eager to study and willing to excel in life would definitely study and it is not their fault if an existing deemed university is blacklisted or snatched off its accreditation in the middle of the academic session. Government should ensure that universities offering education meet government guidelines.
