The Viksit Bharat Shiksha Adhishthan Bill, 2025, which was introduced in the Lok Sabha on December 15, 2025, aims to make this a reality and help reimagine India’s higher education institutions. India’s higher education system has expanded rapidly, spanning over a 1,000 universities, tens of thousands of institutions, and crores of learners. Students will provide feedback on academic quality and the overall learning experience of the higher education institutions. In perspectiveAtmanirbharta in higher education is achieved when India’s institutions can set ambitious goals, innovate responsibly and remain accountable to society. When the Bill succeeds in aligning standards, regulation, and accreditation into a coherent and transparent system, it will help build exactly the kind of citizens that Tiruvalluvar envisioned.
