Report of The State-Level Committee Appointed to Suggest a Model Act for the Universities in Maharashtra November 1972

Abstract

From the Report: The question of amending the existing University legislation has been exercising the minds of educationists all over the country for more than a decade. It has come to the forefront in the Past few years as a result of several new challenges facing the nation, such as the needs of an expanding economy and the establishment of an egalitarian democratic society. Besides, the conventional structure and processes of the educational system have been severely shaken by an unprecedented influx of students at all levels. Post-independence expansion of primary and secondary education has led to a steep increase in the enrolment in the institutions of higher education, drawn from different sections of society with varying backgrounds, attitudes and attainments.
