New Delhi: Human Resource Development (HRD) minister Kapil Sibal at a function in the Observer Research Foundation said that state universities should focus on research and academics, and not just function as affiliating agencies.
According to Mr Sibal, state universities should stop giving affiliations to colleges. Instead, they must focus on research and other academics, which they are not doing properly these days. He also added that these universities are only making money by giving affiliation and this must stop. He has informed the state governments about it. However, the minister said regulating the State universities is the job of State governments and the Central government cannot do anything about it.
