LUDHIANA: Punjab Unaided Colleges Association will be meeting AAP supremo to apprise him of the problems being faced by them. However, the association leaders say that to highlight the issues and problems being faced by small colleges in state, they have launched a campaign to meet top leaders of ruling parties as well as opposition parties of Punjab in coming days.
Office bearers of the association informed that they Recently PUCA delegation met with the Technical Education Minister of Punjab. Now PUCA would also meet Delhi’s Chief Minister and AAP’s supremo Arvind Kejriwal on 29th February.

PUCA’s president Anshu Kataria says, “Punjab government has promised many times to form regulatory body for private universities in state, till date no such regulatory body has been formed. Moreover Akali- BJP Government has given assurance many times in assembly regarding the formation of Regulatory Body.”

On the one hand the states like Himachal Pradesh have formed the Regulatory Body and the entire admission procedure, eligibility process, infrastructure; faculty etc is monitored by that regulatory Body. While on the other hand in Punjab, Private Universities are being not monitored by any Regulatory Body.
“If needed, “We’ll the knock the doors of Hon’ble High Court to save the Unaided Colleges” Said Kataria.
