“The Foreign University Bill passed in the cabinet is apprehensive. Kapil Sibal the Union HRD Minister views the bill, if passed in the Parliament, would be a revolution larger than the one in the telecom sector,” said Shahnawaz Ali Raihan National Secretary of Students Islamic Organisation, on March 16. He said the Bill would be a green signal for tough competitions in the education industry to earn large profits. It is an irony that today higher education is reachable only for those who fall in the right hands of economic affordability and so a large section of Indian society has been marginalised. “The Bill, if implemented, will only help to intensify the current state of affairs. Commercialisation of education has ruined many Indians and replaced talents by capitation fee,” he lamented.
