Thread on #InstituteofEminence and the #Jio drama. Stay with me till the end, if you can pls.

1. How do we define Crony Capitalism? When the govt makes rules that favour a few and gives these few an unfair (but, by virtue of these crafted rules, now legal) advantage over others.
2. What was the govt's idea behind #InstituteofEminence? To unshackle higher education from UGC's regulations and monitoring.

Why? Coz govt believes these UGC regulations are bureaucratic, cumbersome and hold higher education institutes from delivering with flexibility
3. Then, why not just wait and unshackle all of them? Why select only 5 running institutes to be free and another non-existent one to develop free of regulation?

So much fake news, outrage, moaning some from our own flock on the #JioInstitute matter. For once let us get into facts. 60 years of Congress Govt. in India & not ONE Indian University is in the list of top 200 World Rankings. Mind you India has 800 Universities as on date. (1)
So Modi Govt. without sleeping/doing nothing like other Govts. frames policy wherein Union HRD Ministry'll identify 20 Universities & grant #InstituteofEminence status. Out of 20, 10 will be public & 10 private run. #InstituteofEminence to cut redtape & give greater autonomy. (2)
Modi Govt. without appointing housemaids like Congress Govts did, prefers *eminent* "Selection Panel" to identify 20 #InstituteofEminence ! Panel - Gopalaswami Ex-CEC, Pritam Singh Ex-Director IIM, Renu Khato Pres, University of Houston, Tarun Khanna. Harvard Business School. (3)
