INDIA: Hazare unrest delays higher education bills
Protests led by social activist Anna Hazare, which can develop in the coming weeks, led to the fact that the parliamentary bill to allow international branch campuses to create in India, and other key higher education reform bills have little chance to make it through the current session of Indian parliament.
Hazare, who has united students, scientists, farmers and others from different social strata in his populist anti-corruption campaign has led to increased pressure on parliament to consider a bill to establish anti-corruption watchdog, or ombudsman (Lok Pal).
This issue has dominated a stormy parliamentary session, which began on 1 August. Previous session of Parliament was also disturbed about the noise corruption.
Meanwhile, 15 higher education reform bill expected to be approved by Parliament, affecting the pace of education reform in the country.
"It seems unlikely that foreign universities bill comes up for discussion in Parliament this session," said Member of Parliament of RK Biju University World News.
Bijou said that several other important issues, including treatment of the Government in the Lok Pal Bill will take precedence.
Parliamentary business is likely to be in the awkward position of long and heated debate, as Hazare encouraged the Government to develop and give the citizens of the Ombudsman (Jan Lok Pal), a bill involving the public, preferring their own government bill, known simply as the Lok Pal Bill.
August 17, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh was forced to appeal to anxious Lok Sabha (lower house of parliament), "to ensure that Parliament functions smoothly. There are important steps that are necessary for the transfer."
Prime minister criticized for violating Hazare legislative process, having begun a hunger strike and protest, and would seem to involve the public in the legislative process.
"The question before the nation is not whether the Lok Pal Bill is necessary or desirable. All of us in this House agree that the Lok Pal Bill must be passed as soon as possible. The question is, who is preparing a law, and who makes the law?" Singh said.
Other debate before parliament, including the Mumbai serial blasts, the Maoist violence and the rights of farmers to their land, means that the reform of higher education has slipped down the priority list.
Ministry of Education officials hope that a bill to establish tribunals to resolve disputes in higher education institutions, including foreign institutions establishing in India, will come up for discussion in the Rajya Sabha (upper house of parliament), as well as being cleared. It has already been accepted at the present time, alertness Lok Sabha.
Meanwhile, foreign universities bill may still need correction.
Parliamentary Commission for a thorough bill "gave a few suggestions, and we were convinced that human resource development ministry will actively consider them in the bill," said Biju MP, member of the opposition CPI (M) party.
The Standing Committee has given its support to the project of foreign universities bill on August 1, but needs a few points, including a ban point of profit repatriation by foreign institutions.
The Committee believes that it can frighten off the big names in global education. "It's like a one-way traffic. Reputable providers of education, may feel hesitant about opening campuses in India," the Committee said in its report.
Although the surplus derived from educational activities can not be sent abroad, there are no curbs apply to transfers of funds from other activities such as consulting and research.
Ministry of Education sources said it was considering amending the bill to the Committee's recommendations, including revising the minimum down "corps" of about U.S. $ 11 million needed for the foreign institution to establish a campus in India, especially for high schools settings in collaboration with Indian institutions.
However, a key recommendation of the committee also said the size of the housing needed to be increased in case of medical institutions.
Pre-condition that the foreign organization may not use more than 75% of the housing stock to the development of branch campuses in India, may also be considered.
