The State Platform for Common School System – Tamil Nadu (SPCSS-TN) has formally requested the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) to withdraw the Viksit Bharat Shiksha Adhishthan (VBSA) Bill 2025, deeming it unconstitutional. The Bill aims to establish a centralized body for regulating higher education, which SPCSS-TN argues will undermine the autonomy of state universities in Tamil Nadu and elsewhere. According to the letter from P.B. Prince Gajendra Babu, General Secretary of SPCSS-TN, the Bill infringes on state rights by allowing the Union Government to regulate universities and potentially wind them up. The organization highlights that the reservation policies and subsidized fees in Tamil Nadu have been pivotal in promoting social justice and universalizing higher education. The VBSA Bill is criticized for failing to recognize the contributions of state universities and for imposing a uniform regulatory framework that could lead to the privatization of education. Furthermore, the letter expresses concerns over the financial implications for state governments, who would bear the cost of education without the necessary funding from the central government. The SPCSS-TN warns that the Bill's provisions could create a system that prioritizes vocational training over comprehensive education, ultimately serving the interests of those in power.
