Equity should strengthen institutions, not create new inequalities. I see the Supreme Court’s stay on the UGC Draft Regulations on Equity and Inclusion in Higher Education as a necessary and timely pause.
UGC Promotion of Equity in Higher Education Institutions Regulations Bill 2026 is a discriminatory and draconian act which will only create useless conflict colleges and schools. This black Act must be recalled.
