“UGC will debar universities violating PhD quality standards” — a bold statement made by former UGC Chairman M. Jagadesh Kumar.
Fast forward to today — many of the concerns he raised still ring true.
PhD quality? Still under question.
⭐ Faculty shortages? Still unresolved in many state universities.
⭐ Research environment? Struggling without adequate support.
⭐ While leadership may have changed, the challenges in Indian academia remain largely the same. The question is — how much has actually moved since then?
If we truly care about research integrity and global relevance, we can’t afford to let these issues stagnate.
