Union Minister of Education and Skills Development Shri Dharmendra Pradhan today held a comprehensive consultation on additional steps to establish the Indian Higher Education Commission (HECI).

He went on to say that this important recommendation of NEP-2020 would be one of the many steps towards the removal of colonialism from the country’s education system.
It was proposed that HECI become a major regulatory base for all higher education institutions in the country.
