SC Orders UGC to Finalize Anti-Discrimination Rules
The Supreme Court wants to make sure colleges are fair for everyone, so they told the UGC, a group that makes rules for colleges, to finalize some new ones.
These rules are about stopping people from being treated badly because of their caste.
The court wants the UGC to listen to ideas from others to make the rules better, like banning discrimination and setting up ways to solve problems.
They have eight weeks to finish these rules.
This came from a case filed by the mothers of two students who died after facing caste-based discrimination.
The Supreme Court directed the UGC to finalize regulations.
The regulations aim to curb caste discrimination in higher education.
The UGC must finalize the regulations within eight weeks.
The order came from a public interest litigation by Rohith Vemula and Payal Tadvi's mothers.
The court suggested suggestions like a ban on discriminatory practices.
