BJD strongly opposes Draft UGC Regulation 2025, calls it draconian

Bhubaneswar, Feb 6 (UNI) The Biju Janata Dal (BJD) has expressed grave concern over the Draft UGC Regulations, 2025 and urged the UGC to reconsider the draconian provisions before finalizing the regulations.
Addressing the media, BJD’s Coordination and Activities Committee Chairman, Debi Prasad Mishra, stated that the proposed regulations pose a direct threat to federalism, the autonomy of state universities, and the quality of higher education in India.
He pointed out that one of the most alarming aspects of the draft regulations is the undue centralization of power, which grants absolute authority to Governors—who function under the influence of the Central Government— in appointing Vice-Chancellors and academic staff. Mishra said this move blatantly undermines the principles of federalism enshrined in the Indian Constitution.
