SC Allows UGC to Notify Caste-Based Discrimination Rules
Hindustan Times Noida
|April 25, 2025
The Supreme Court on Thursday allowed the University Grants Commission (UGC) to notify its regulations for preventing caste-based discrimination in higher educational institutions, clarifying that a recent judgment of the top court setting up a National Task Force (NTF) to recommend measures to prevent student suicides will not come in the way of this process.
NEW DELHI:
The order of the court came in a public interest litigation filed in 2019 by the mothers of Rohit Vemula and Payal Tadvi—students who died by suicide due to alleged caste-based discrimination in 2016 and 2019, respectively—seeking a robust mechanism to ensure such incidents are prevented and addressed by authorities in time.
