Dumka: Godda MP Nishikant Dubey on Wednesday said the new UGC regulations will be corrected to satisfy the concerns of general category students and the community at large.Addressing a press conference in Dumka after a municipal poll campaign, the BJP lawmaker referred to the submission of the Solicitor General Tushar Mehta in the Supreme Court that the Union govt would come forward with a corrected one."There must be no doubt, after the submission of the Solicitor General, who represented the central govt in the Supreme Court during the hearing of the UGC matter, that regulations will be suitably corrected to incorporate the concerns of the general category students," Dubey said. Protests were held in Ranchi and other parts of the state against the regulations in recent weeks.Dubey also referred to the introduction of 10 per cent reservation for economically backward general category students by the Centre, stating that it helped raise the number of community members in govt jobs and educational institutes.
