Himachal Education Regulator Calls for Bio-data of VC's of Private Universities

Himachal Pradesh Private Educational Institutions Regulatory Commission (HPPEIRC) has asked private universities to submit the bio-data of Vice-chancellors, for verification. The move was taken after receiving complaints that some of the private varsities' VCs were over-aged, under-qualified, and inexperienced. The commission also directed the management to abide by norms related to appointment, infrastructure, staff salary, and fees. HPPEIRC also issued a concept paper for data collection, to maintain transparency.
