The Delhi High Court expressed concern over the growing number of fake universities and urged the Centre to take action. Hearing a PIL, the court sought affidavits from the Centre, UGC, AICTE and Delhi government on measures taken to curb such institutions. It warned that students from smaller towns risk wasting time and money on degrees that fail to make them employable.
New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Wednesday called upon the Centre to act against the mushrooming of fake higher education institutions.
Calling it a serious issue, a bench of Chief Justice D K Upadhyaya and Justice Tejas Karia said that students attracted to such fake institutions usually belong to small towns, who spend their time and resources but end up with degrees that do not make them employable.
The court, which was hearing a PIL by lawyer Shashank Deo Sudhi seeking action against fake universities, sought an affidavit from the central government, University Grants Commission (UGC) and All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) indicating the steps taken by them to check the mushrooming of such institutes.
"We also call upon the learned Additional Solicitor General of India (ASG) for respondent no. 1 (Union of India) to draw the attention of the authorities in the education department to the issues raised in the petition and impress upon them to take necessary action," the court said.
