While reviewing the progress of Higher Education Department, the Human Resource Development Minister expressed her grave concerns about large number of students from SPA Bhopal, SPA Vijayawada and IIITD&M Kancheepuram numbering about 700 not being able to get their Degrees. The Minister directed the officers concerned to immediately take up the matter in the coming Parliament Session so that both the Bills, which are ready, could be passed. In the meanwhile, efforts would also be made to explore the possibilities to have these institutions declared as off-campus centre of one of the existing institution so that standby arrangement of conferring Degrees could be put in place.
