Reclaiming educational federalism is a constitutional necessity, says high-level panel on Union-State relations
The High-Level Committee on Union-State Relations, led by Chief Minister M.K. Stalin, has called for a significant restructuring of Indian education. The report recommends divesting Governors of their role as Chancellors of State universities and shifting the authority over education back to the States. It argues that this would address constitutional issues related to federalism and academic autonomy, while also improving educational quality and reducing inequality. The report suggests completely freeing top universities from UGC oversight and returning admissions control to the States.
