Supreme Court notice on deemed varsities

Supreme Court notice on deemed varsities
New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday issued a notice to the Centre questioning the University Grants Commission's (UGC) power to recommend Deemed University status to an educational institution.

Hearing a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) that wants the provision in the UGC Act scrapped, a three-judge bench headed by the Chief Justice of India also issued a notice to the UGC.

The petitioner says this has led to commercialisation of education.
