New Delhi, Sep 10 - Asserting that his ministry has fulfilled all promises for the first 100 days, Human Resource Development Minister Kapil Sibal Thursday said he will bring in six new bills, including one to replace education regulators like the UGC and the AICTE with a commission.

'Our ministry has circulated the draft bill about an autonomous overarching authority for higher education. We would like to introduce it in the next parliament session,' Sibal said while addressing the media about his ministry's achievement in last 100 days.

The proposed commission will replace institutions like the University Grants Commission (UGC) and the All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE), as recommended by the National Knowledge Commission.

Sibal said the Central Advisory Board of Education (CABE) has already discussed the recommendation and the ministry has already set up a task force for aiding and advising the government on setting up the proposed body, named National Commission for Higher Education and Research (NCHER).

The minister said that draft legislation and a concept note have been circulated among ministries about a law for mandatory assessment and accreditation in higher education through an independent regulatory authority.

A bill to prevent, prohibit and punish educational malpractices is undergoing 'legal vetting'. The ministry is also set to introduce legislation in the coming parliament session to allow foreign universities to open campuses in India.

The other two legislative initiatives are aimed at having a tribunal to deal with higher education disputes and amending the Copyright Act.
