Bro just listed out why this bill is necessary. He adds that the bill violates constitutional freedom of NGOs, but didn't even substantiate that particular claim.
In my latest #TharoorThink column in the @indianExpress, I take on the new FCRA bill, urging it be resisted. “It is a profound injustice to subject institutions that have devoted generations to India's development, education, and healthcare to such punitive statutory mechanisms”, writes @ShashiTharoor
Feminists in TN silent over polytol paithyam's remark. @TVKVijayHQ they won't get conviction in this. Hold them where it hurts. There are so many substantial matters where conviction can be attained. Poke into the beehive. Let them go berserk.
@saikirankannan Govt should also focus on malpractices in SSC exams. Existing frustration towards eduquity being the one conducting ssc exams, and leniency in northern states (which is true and further aids malpractices) could ve added fuel to fire. Seeing many aspirants in their 20s.

This comes as a shocker, as three previously affiliated colleges of The Tamil Nadu Dr MGR Medical University have received deemed university status, which will lead to a reduction of 650 medical seats in this admission year. This will directly impact the admission of students selected under the 7.5% reservation for government school students, and the fee expected to be paid by students admitted to these colleges will be quadrupled, at the least.
The three colleges that have now been granted Deemed University status are St. Peter’s Medical College (250 seats) and Dhanalakshmi Srinivasan Institute of Medical Sciences & Srinivasan Medical College (400 seats). As for who owns and controls these institutions, that is hardly a secret; it is already in the public domain.
The Tamil Nadu Dr MGR Medical University has clarified that it has not issued an NOC to either of these colleges to apply for deemed university status. However, it is also clarified that the refusal letter issued to St. Peter’s Medical College is currently being contested in court.
The UGC (Institutions Deemed to be Universities) Regulations, 2022, in point number 5.02(i) and 5.02 (ii) clearly state that the University Grants Commission will presume that the State Government has no objection to the issuance of deemed university status if the affiliating university (in this case The Tamil Nadu Dr MGR Medical University) does not object within a window of 60 days and it will presume that the university had no objection for issuance of deemed university status.
The Tamil Nadu Dr MGR Medical University has clarified that they did not issue a NOC to Dhanalakshmi Srinivasan Institute of Medical Sciences and Srinivasan Medical College.
Hence, a pertinent question arises. Did the previous DMK Govt deliberately ignore the application filed by Dhanalakshmi Srinivasan Institute of Medical Sciences and Srinivasan Medical College and wait for the 60-day window to close?
I urge the TVK Govt to conduct a detailed probe into this matter and ensure that those responsible for this gross wilful negligence be punished. The future of aspiring medical students cannot be made collateral damage by administrative apathy or wilful political negligence. Their dreams of pursuing affordable medical education must not be stalled or sacrificed because those in power fail to act in time.
