The Maharashtra Federation of University College and Teachers’ Organisation (MFUCTO) has written to Rajesh Tope, higher and technical education minister, asking him to withdraw the “illegal” resolution. “The UGC has said it will clarify the issue with MHRD. So this notification is baseless,” said Madhu Paranjape, MFUCTO member.
