The Viksit Bharat Shiksha Adhishthan (VBSA) Bill, 2025, introduced in Lok Sabha, aims to enhance transparency in higher education by mandating public disclosure of academic, operational, and financial matters. It seeks to grant greater autonomy to institutions in teaching, curriculum, and research, aligning with the National Education Policy's goal of a 'light but tight' regulatory framework. The bill intends to subsume multiple regulatory bodies into one commission, with proponents stating it will not impede institutional autonomy or funding, while states retain their rights.
