UGC Equity Norms: Panel Debates Caste Discrimination Regulations | NewsTrack Debate | India Today

Описание: In this episode of NewsTrack, host Maria Shakit (referred to as Miriam/Maria) leads a heated debate on the University Grants Commission's (UGC) new equity guidelines aimed at curbing caste-based discrimination in higher education. Scholar and 'Caste Matters' author Dr. Suraj Yengde strongly supports the move, stating, 'This new directive, I think we should welcome it simply because it really covers, it backs its policy with data.' He highlights the 118% rise in reported cases as a justification for institutional deterrence. Conversely, Professor Chandra Bhushan Sharma labels the regulation 'uncalled for,' arguing that existing mechanisms like the Internal Complaints Committee are sufficient and that the new rules reflect a lack of trust in academia. Student Alokit Tripathi raises concerns regarding the definition of victims and the potential for fake allegations. The discussion explores whether these guidelines ensure social justice or create unnecessary bureaucratic hurdles and surveillance on Indian campuses.
