UGC Controversy 2026 Explained | Justice & Supreme Court Battle

Описание: UGC Regulations 2026 Explained | Justice, Controversy & Supreme Court Battle

Two students. Two universities. One question India can no longer ignore.

In January 2026, the University Grants Commission (UGC) notified the Promotion of Equity in Higher Education Institutions Regulations, 2026 — a law that has sparked nationwide protests, constitutional debates, and Supreme Court challenges.

But these Regulations did not emerge in isolation.

They trace their origins to the tragic deaths of Rohit Vemula and Dr. Payal Tadvi, and a 2019 Public Interest Litigation filed by their mothers before the Supreme Court of India, demanding a real mechanism to end caste-based discrimination on college campuses.

In this video, we break down:
🔹 How campus tragedies led to judicial intervention
🔹 Why the Supreme Court pushed for a “strong and robust mechanism”
🔹 What the UGC Equity Regulations, 2026 actually provide
🔹 The role of Equal Opportunity Centres, Equity Committees, Squads & Helplines
🔹 Why Regulation 3(c) is being challenged as discriminatory
🔹 Claims of equity vs reverse discrimination
🔹 Whether the law should be caste-neutral or caste-conscious
🔹 And how this case could redefine Article 14, 15 & 21 in educational spaces

Are these Regulations a long-overdue step towards substantive equality?
Or do they risk creating new forms of exclusion?

With the matter now before the Supreme Court, the outcome will not just affect universities — it will shape how India understands justice, dignity, and equality in education.
