New Delhi: Human Resource Development (HRD) MinisterKapil Sibal has recently sought the advice of Solicitor General Gopal Subramaniam to ensure that the tough action projected against 44 deemed universities does not end up in courts of law.
As per sources,the HRD Ministry's plan is believed to have received the approval of Subramaniam. Moreover, Mr Sibal, in order to pass on of the action recommended by the HRD's task force, would meet Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh. In view of the fact that many of the deemed universities are run by the political leaders of India, political clearance would be taken at the highest level.
According to the statement of top source, they are not going to roll the ball back. Once the process is set in motion many deemed universities would lose the deemed status. They are also preparing for the likely legal action that might follow. Further, the review committee that was turned into a task force has recommended a detailed action map against deemed universities that do not have necessary academic and physical infrastructure.
