T'gana CM demands withdrawal of draft UGC regulations

The article discusses the opposition by Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy to the draft UGC (Institutions Deemed to be Universities) Regulations, 2024. CM Reddy has demanded the withdrawal of these regulations, arguing that they would undermine the autonomy of state governments in educational matters. He criticized the regulations for potentially allowing the central government to convert any institution into a deemed university without state consent, which he sees as an infringement on federal principles. Reddy has called for a meeting with other Chief Ministers to discuss this issue and has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, urging him to reconsider the draft to preserve the cooperative federalism enshrined in the Indian Constitution. He emphasized that education should remain a collaborative effort between the Centre and the states, not a unilateral decision by the central government.
