Anil Kumar has said that the Kerala government is prepared to amend rules, if required, to expedite land-use conversion and the distribution of title deeds. Addressing the district-level review meeting of the Revenue department in Thrissur, the Minister said practical difficulties often come to light only after laws are implemented. “Such issues may require amendments to rules or the issuance of special government orders. Once the review meetings in all 14 districts are completed, the government will examine the practical suggestions and proposals for legal amendments put forward by officials and take appropriate decisions,” he said. Mr. Kumar said the Revenue department handled the largest volume of public files and maintained the closest interface with the public. Revenue officials played a crucial role in almost every public issue, he noted, adding that people today were well aware of their rights and entitlements. While it may not be …

UGC announces rules to streamline recognising academic qualifications from foreign institutions | Education

Published by Parlour News

New Delhi, The UGC on Saturday announced a new set of regulations to streamline the process of recognising and granting equivalence to academic qualifications obtained from foreign institutions. UGC announces rules to streamline recognising academic qualifications from foreign institutions The UGC Regulations, 2025, allow for the recognition of qualifications obtained from offshore campuses of foreign institutions, provided they meet specific criteria. The University Grants Commission regulations also prescribe foreign school-level qualifications for admission into undergraduate and equivalent programmes in Indian institutions, subject to prescribed conditions. This is expected to ease transitions for students moving to India after completing secondary education abroad. However, it draws a firm line against qualifications obtained through franchising arrangements, stating that these would not be eligible for equivalence. The rules are expected to significantly benefit Indian students who study abroad and seek to continue their academic or professional journey in India. The regulations, however, do not apply to professional qualifications in disciplines such as medicine, pharmacy, nursing, law, and architecture areas governed by respective statutory councils in India. “These regulations mark …

Published by Parlour News

Finance Minister K.N. Balagopal (file) | Photo Credit: S. MAHINSHA The Kerala government intends to streamline the functioning of welfare fund boards, making their operations more systematic, Finance Minister K.N. Balagopal informed the Kerala Assembly on Monday (March 10). Responding to Opposition UDF’s charges concerning the plight of the boards while addressing an adjournment motion, he said that the welfare fund board pensions would not be slashed, but increased. Mr. Balagopal countered the UDF onslaught saying that the government intended to disburse three pending instalments of pensions in the coming fiscal. The Opposition was “shedding crocodile tears” for the welfare fund board members, he said. Six boards which disburse pensions from own fund and eight which provide pensions with the aid of the government through the Kerala Social Security Pension Ltd disburse it on time, he said. The 2011-2015 UDF government spent ₹9,011 crore on the pensions. The 2016-2021 Pinarayi Vijayan spent ₹35,154 crore, and the current LDF government has thus far spent ₹36,212 crore. This is expected to touch ₹55,000 crore by the end …
