UGC warns colleges against unapproved foreign collaborations
Hyderabad: Even as many colleges are signing collaborative agreements with foreign institutions to offer degree programmes, University Grants Commission (UGC) has made it clear that these degrees will not be recognised unless they have approval from the commission. The commission also said that action will be taken against all defaulting higher educational institutions (HEIs) and EdTech companies for offering such courses — twinning programmes, dual degree programmes, and joint degrees — without required approvals. "It has been observed that many HEIs or colleges have entered into collaborative agreements or arrangements with foreign-based educational institutions or providers not recognised by the commission and have been facilitating the issuance of degrees to the students enrolled in those institutions from such foreign-based educational institutions," UGC said in a circular. "Students are advised to exercise due caution and are made aware that such courses, programmes, and degrees do not have UGC recognition and that they will be doing so at their own risk and consequences," it added. Faculty working in technical colleges in the state said that even in Telangana, many colleges were signing agreements with institutions abroad, but hardly anyone was seeking approval before announcing such programmes. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like TV providers are furious: this gadget gives you access to all channels Techno Mag Learn More Undo "The recent notices to ed-tech companies clearly show that many are offering programmes without required approval.

Edible oil regulation: Government tightens norms; monthly reporting, factory checks made mandatory
AI image The Centre has notified a new regulatory framework for India's edible oil industry, aiming to increase transparency, prevent supply disruptions, and ensure fair prices for consumers. The Vegetable Oil Products, Production and Availability (VOPPA) Regulation Order, 2025, notified on August 1 by the ministry of consumer affairs, amends the existing 2011 Order under Section 3 of the Essential Commodities Act, 1955. According to the official release, all vegetable oil producers must now obtain registration certificates through the Directorate of Sugar and Vegetable Oils in New Delhi. The application must include factory location, production capacity and other operational details as listed in Schedule-I. The amended framework requires producers to file mandatory monthly reports by the 15th of each month. These reports must detail oil usage, production, sales, and stock levels. Officials said the move is aimed at ensuring better supply chain monitoring and curbing practices like hoarding or misreporting. The Order also grants greater enforcement powers to the director of the Directorate. Authorities can inspect facilities, demand records and seize stocks in case of suspected violations. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Learn More - How Watching Videos Can Boost Your Income TheDaddest Undo Non-compliance with reporting or directives will be considered a breach under the new rules. The amendment brings in clearer definitions for terms such as 'Producer,' 'Vegetable Oil,' and 'Director,' aligning them with the Essential Commodities Act, 1955 and the Collection of Statistics Act, 2008. Obsolete provisions such as 'de-oiled meal or edible flour' have been removed. Schedule-III and Paragraph 13 of the previous Order have also been scrapped, while terms like 'Clause' and 'Chief Director' have been standardised. Welcoming the step, the Indian Vegetable Producers' Association (IVPA) said the reforms address long-standing concerns over data inconsistencies that hinder policy decisions. 'The organised sector is equipped to meet these data requirements, but the challenge lies in the fragmented unorganised segment, comprising thousands of small units,' IVPA noted. As per news agency PTI, the association expressed hope that improved reporting will help policymakers, consumers and producers align on common goals of affordability and availability. The 2025 VOPPA Order is part of the government's broader efforts to stabilise edible oil supplies and bring accountability to one of the country's most vital commodity sectors.
