Bhopal: Education department has also been affected due to the lockdown. The Higher Education Department has rejected all proposals received for opening new private colleges in the academic session 2020-21. The department received proposals to open about a dozen private colleges from the state. But now these colleges will have to wait for the next academic session for approval. The department has decided that neither new colleges will open nor new courses will start this year. Before accrediting new colleges, the committee inspects them. This process is adopted before starting the new course, but this time it has not been possible due to lockdown.
For the first time in six years, temperature was low in May
New colleges will not be opened for this reason and old colleges will be recognized without inspection. Seats in colleges will not be increased this year. The number of seats in which courses were allowed to be admitted in colleges last year. This time too, the same seats will be allowed to be admitted in the same course. The department has renewed the recognition by depositing fees online.
Workers returned to villages, now decided to become 'Atm-Nirbhar'
Every year in March-April the Higher Education Department used to ask for applications for running new colleges and courses and for increasing seats. The process went online from this year. On the basis of applications, the department used to form a committee and send a committee for physical inspection of that college. Validation was based on inspection report but this time due to the lockdown neither the committee could be formed nor the colleges were inspected.
