The University Grants Commission (UGC) has decided to look into any violations concerning the appointment of teachers and the award of PhD degrees in higher educational institutions (HEIs). The decision was taken by the Commission at its 568th meeting. A standing committee was also set up to monitor the selection process of teachers and awarding of PhD degrees.

Jagadesh Kumar, Chairman of the University Grants Commission, disclosed to IANS that the Committee will meet up regularly and choose a few institutions to assess. These institutions will securely provide documents verifying that the appointment of teachers and award of PhDs have abided by the UGC regulations. If the documents to not comply then the Committee will recommend an appropriate action to be taken on the matter.

Kumar mentioned, that the UGC Regulations on Minimum Qualifications for Appointment of Teachers and Other Academic Staff and University Grants Commission (Minimum Standards and Procedures for Award of Ph.D. Degree) Regulations are mandatory for the maintenance of higher education standards. Although, despite these regulations, stakeholders have expressed concerns over violations.

The role of higher educational institutions in providing knowledge to the nation and cultivating intellectuals is essential. The UGC periodically notifies regulations that guarantee the quality of teachers and research degrees. The quality of higher education is highly reliant on the quality of those that teach and how research is distributed.

The UGC recognizes the importance of high standards in higher education and will take the necessary steps to prevent any breach of their regulations. By doing so, they will help ensure that universities and colleges remain centers of learning and support the nation’s growth.

The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) has asked both the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange (NSE) to reconsider their approval of the merger of Zee Entertainment and Sony Pictures Networks India. The NCLT wants the BSE and NSE to provide updated no-objection certificates (NOCs) before the next court hearing set for June 16. This order was made after some fresh points were raised at the counsel of NSE and BSE in reference to Sebi’s recent order dated April 25, 2021 which involved Shirpur Gold refinery and Zee’s promoters. Consequently, the NCLT has instructed both the exchanges to review their prior approval for Zee-Sony merger and provide fresh NOCs for the scheme before the next court hearing.

Zee Entertainment is a leading media conglomerate that is owned by the Essel Group. Its portfolio of channels consists of Zee TV, ZEE5, &TV, Zee News, Zee Marathi, Zee Telugu, Zee Bangla, Zee Punjab Haryana, Zee Tamil among others. Sony Pictures Networks India (SPN) broadcast multiple channels that include Sony, Sony MAX, SAB, AXN, Sony BBC Earth, Sony Ten 1, Sony Ten 2, Sony Ten 3, Sony Pix, Sonyliv and Sony ESPN.

In addition, prior to this, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) had issued an interim order against a company belonging to Essel Group. This was what had prompted NCLT to direct the exchanges to re-evaluate and validate the non-compete agreement in the merger that was approved by the exchanges and SEBI.

HV Subba Rao is the Judicial Member of NCLT and Madhu Sinha is the Technical Member. They will preside over the next court hearing to decide the fate of the Zee-Sony merger.
