CHANDIGARH, NOV 14
The Haryana Government has launched a drive to identify self
styled and fake universities or institutions operating in the state. FIR
will be lodged against these institutions under appropriate sections of
the Indian Penal Code and UGC Act.
While
stating this here today, an official spokesman said that these self
styled and fake universities and institutions were creating an
impression amongst students that their degrees were recognised both for
the purpose of admission in higher studies and for the employment in the
central and the state governments, which amounts to cheating. This kind
of fraud might ruin the career of young students and also bring the
entire higher education system into disrepute.
"According
to UGC Act, only those universities which have been established under
an act of parliament or state legislature or have been granted 'deemed
to be a university' status under section 3 of the UGC Act, are entitled
to call themselves "universities" and confer degrees. The degrees
provided only by such institutions are recognised by educational
institutions and central or state governments for purpose of admission
and employment. Contravention of this provision of UGC Act attracts the
penalties under the Act", he added.
