UGC Revisits Equity Norms as Court Gives More Time
The Centre will revisit UGC equity norms, while the Supreme Court has granted more time over rules on caste bias. Both steps relate to the rules that govern equity and caste bias.
Context
The University Grants Commission (UGC) sets rules for universities across India, and the Supreme Court is also hearing a separate case on its anti-ragging rules. Caste bias on campuses has been a long-running concern, and these rules are part of that debate.
