The Education Promotion Society for India (EPSI) has welcomed the Supreme Court’s decision to maintain status quo on the 44 deemed universities facing de-recognition for not being upto the standard.
While the court’s ruling has been welcomed by various Deemed Universities, EPSI plans to submit a letter to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in this regard.
On Monday, the Supreme Court assured the aggrieved universities that no adverse order would be passed without hearing them, as the issue not only involved several institutions but also the fate of thousands of affected students.
The Court directed the government to submit the report of the Review Committee and the task force, based on which the human resource development ministry had decided to derecognise these universities within two weeks and meanwhile maintain status quo as on today.
