UGC’s equity regulations need reform

The University Grants Commission’s Promotion of Equity in Higher Education Institutions Regulations, 2026 marks a decisive shift in how caste -based discrimination on campuses is addressed.

Areas of Study

The draft regulation by UGC brings a glimmer of hope for area study programmes to develop fully in India. Through this initiative Indian higher education will attract foreign students as well as academicians to do research in the country. Western scholars and academicians are always interested in studying and understanding the non-West, especially the Asian continent. Subjects such as South Asian Studies, Southeast Asian Studies, Chinese studies, Japanese studies etc. can attract the West to establish their institutions in India
