A new bill, the Viksit Bharat Shiksha Adhikshan Bill, is set to be introduced in Parliament, aiming to establish a single regulator for higher education. This move seeks to replace the UGC, AICTE, and NCTE, fostering greater independence and self-governance among universities and educational institutes.  NEW DELHI: A Bill which seeks to set up a single regulator for institutions of higher education is required to facilitate universities and other higher educational institutes become independent and self-governing, officials said.
