That will not be sufficient. It will help if we have a national level
campaign on the issue involving academics from everywhere. The UGC and
AIU must also be targeted. M$ does not actually run universities
anywhere in the world. This proposal reflects more severely on the
corruption and malpractices in the higher education sector of our
country.
