What Happened
The Viksit Bharat Shiksha Adhisthan Bill, under Joint Parliamentary Committee review, faces criticism for concentrating excessive power in Union government councils. Critics argue it violates constitutional limits on federal education authority, removes institutional autonomy from IITs, IIMs, and universities, and reduces UGC's consultative role. The Bill diminishes state government participation and university decision-making authority in higher education governance.
