The Centre has taken charge to seek changes in the education sector of the country as the Narendra Modi Government has initiated steps in order to allow foreign universities to set up campuses and programs in India. The overhaul by the Centre to improve the South Asian Nation’s higher education can see universities such as Stanford, Oxford, Yale and others.

The University Grants Commission has announced a draft of a bill which seeks to accommodate the establishment and operation of foreign universities in the country. The UGC regulatory body has opened the legislation for public feedback for seeking changes. The legislation for accommodation and establishment of foreign universities in the country is the first time for India.

According to reports, the bill states that the local campus will have the authority to decide on the admission criteria for domestic students and foreign students, fee structure and scholarship. Whereas the Institution will have the autonomy to recruit faculty and staff for their campuses.

The Centre’s effort to seek an overhaul in the Indian education sector will enable and help the Indian students to get foreign qualification from ivy league universities at an affordable cost. The effort by the Centre will not only cater to Indian students, but also make India a global study destination for other countries.

According to reports, the UGCs final draft will be presented to the parliament for its approval before becoming a law.

Although, few foreign universities already have a partnership with the Indian universities which allows the students to study in India for a few semesters and then complete their qualification on the main campus abroad. The current move by the Narendra Modi Government will inspire the overseas establishments to set up camp in India as well.

A few major challenges that the move might kick off, includes the affordability aspect for the people in the country, as well as if affirmative actions will be taken into consideration for the admission process.

Chhattisgarh: 5-year-old appointed child constable after father's death

A five-year-old boy from Chhattisgarh’s Sarguja has been appointed child constable on Thursday after the death of his father, a police officer, in a road accident.

Raj Kumar Rajwade, who was a police officer posted in Mahila Thana, died in a road accident. Following the incident, the Superintendent of Police (SP) Bhavna Pandey said that his 5-year-old son, Naman Rajwade, will take over his position.

Naman, a UKG student, has been posted as a child constable on compassionate grounds in Sarguja, a district in Ambikapur’s Chhattisgarh.

Speaking about Naman’s posting, his mother Nitu Rajwade said that her husband died in an accident. Now, his son has been appointed as the child constable. She said she is hurt a bit but is happy for her child.

The decision to appoint Naman as a child constable was taken as per the guidelines by the administration and police headquarters.

According to the guidelines of the Police Headquarters, in such a case, if someone below 18 years is present in the family, he is appointed as a child constable. Under this, Naman Rajwade has been appointed as a child constable.

Earlier in January too, a similar incident took place in Chhattisgarh’s Surajpur when a five-and-a-half-year-old boy was made a child constable after he lost his father. Furthermore, a four-year-old boy in Katni, Madhya Pradesh, was appointed as a child constable after his father’s demise who was a head constable in the police force.

Child constables will be appointed as full time constables on attaining the age of 18 years.

Fugitive Khalistani leader Amritpal Singh may be headed for Delhi, a day after his last known location was traced to Haryana, reports quoting sources have claimed.

An NDTV report quoting sources said the security has been heightened across the national capital as its suspected that the notorious ‘Waris Punjab De’ chief may be headed to Delhi after last being spotted in Shahabad in Haryana’s Kurukshetra.

On Sunday, Amritpal Singh and his associate Papalpreet Singh, had stayed at Shahabad home of a woman identified as Baljeet Kaur, who was arrested yesterday, Punjab Police said.

A video with a time stamp of Monday, doing the rounds on the internet yesterday showed the fugitive Sikh preacher dressed in a white shirt and blue jeans, trying to hide his face with an umbrella as he was departing from the Baljeet Kaur’s house in Shahabad.

On Thursday, the Punjab Police arrested Amritpal Singh’s former gunman and notorious associate, Tejinder Singh aka Gorkha Baba.

A report quoted DSP Payal Harsimrat Singh of the Punjab Police as saying that Tejinder Singh, a resident of Punjab’s Mangewal village, was nabbed by the Khanna police.

DSP Harsimrat said Tejinder, who was a gunman for Amritpal Singh for a long period and often lived with the Waris Punjab De chief, is also involved in the Ajnala case. The officer said that Tejinder, also known as Gorkha Baba, was very active on social media and often posts pictures of himself brandishing different weapons due to which he’s wanted in a separate case registered against him at Malaud police station.

The official further said that Tejinder has been booked under sections 107/151 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and two other aides who accompanied him, have also been taken into custody and are being questioned.

A nation-wide crackdown was launched to nab Amritpal Singh after last month, the dreaded Khalistani leader and his supporters armed with swords and guns, stormed a police station in Ajnala on the outskirts of Amritsar city and clashed with police for the release of one of his aides Lovepreet Singh.
