Viksit Bharat Shiksha Adhishthan Bill Reviewed After TDP Objection

Viksit Bharat Shiksha Adhishthan Bill Reviewed After TDP Objection

The Viksit Bharat Shiksha Adhishthan (VBSA) Bill is being reviewed again because the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), which is part of the ruling coalition, has some concerns.

The TDP doesn't like two parts of the bill (Clauses 45 and 47) that give the central government a lot of power over the new education regulator, the VBSA.

The VBSA would replace some existing education bodies like the UGC and AICTE.

The TDP thinks this bill would make state governments have less control over their universities.

So, the joint parliamentary committee is taking more time to discuss the bill and talk to state governments before making a final decision.
