HECI Bill Sparks Debate on Privatisation of Higher Education

The Indian government is discussing a new law called the HECI Bill, which aims to change how universities and colleges are run.

The bill replaces old education bodies with new ones, promising better regulation.

However, many people are worried.

They say the bill might make education more expensive and harder to access for poor students.

It could also give more power to private colleges, making education a business rather than a public good.

Some think this will create a system where only rich students get good education, while others struggle.

The bill is being debated, and people are asking if it will make education fairer or just benefit the wealthy.
