UGC Equity Regulations 2026 Trigger Nationwide Protests and Legal Challenges | In Your Interest

Описание: The University Grants Commission’s new Equity Regulations 2026 have sparked widespread protests across India, with student groups taking to the streets from Delhi to Lucknow, Bareilly, and campuses in Rajasthan and Bihar. Nearly twenty petitions have already reached the Supreme Court, and bureaucrats have resigned amid political backlash. The regulations aim to curb discrimination in higher education based on caste, religion, gender, disability, place of birth, or race, focusing on SC, ST, OBC, EWS, and PwD communities. Unlike the advisory 2012 rules, the 2026 regulations are legally binding, with clear timelines, accountability, and potential penalties for non-compliance. Critics argue the rules exclude general category students, drop penalties for false complaints, and may shift the burden of proof unfairly, while supporters say the rules address structural inequality and respond to Supreme Court directives after tragic cases like Rohith Vemula and Payal Tadvi. The debate raises questions about fairness, enforceability, and true equity in India’s higher education system.
