Mr. Vice-Chai-man, first of all, T must place on
record my gratefui thanks to the University Grants:
iecion for / the work that thev have done for
{io udivancement of higher education, They have
‘good work and in full / co-operation with the
Jon Minist-y. This, I think, must encourage
Biste Governmen's to establish university grants
Commissions or committees in / thaix RESPRCTE
States. What the country needs otc BEER inthe CO:
OBDINATED efor of the, NOMOUS university
Grants commissions working in jONY with
fhe State Governraents and university authorities,
Coordinated efforts are needed TO BRING ABOUT
certain UNEF Yin the standards (100) of
niversity education. Without that, our educational
advancement is bound to suffer from various
ifficulties. I do agree / with my
“qriend that the Aanual Report under discussion is
rathera dul repo-t.At least, itisnotas/ brightas the
fwo previous Reports were. In the previous two
reports, the University Grants Commission invited
the attention of / the nation to certain ACADEMIC
problems, to certain educational ‘needs.
Dnfortunately, iu this Report the University Grants
Commission CONFINES its /remarks mostly to what
has been achievec in the field of university education
under the guidax:ze and with the assistance (200) of
the University Grants Commission.
However, Sir, [Lis not possible for me to agree
Gap 2 oputh Mr. Sanchanam that the | University ‘Grants
Commission shot Id not-extend help to universities
for the PRESERVATION of MANUSCRIPTS.
Manuseripts are of great importance, so / far as
university librar!es are concerned, It is the duty of
universities to proserve those manuseripis, and itis
the / duty of the University Grants Commission to
extend {0 universities the necessary financial
assistance for maintaining and Preserving the
manuseripts /in ood order.
‘Also, it is not possible for me, Sir, to agree with
my friend that today universities are (200) enjoying
too much of autonomy. Lagree with the Univers
‘Grants Commission which two years ago remar
that freedom is / vital for education and demecracy,
and I personally feel, Sir, that on one plea or the
other university autonomy and / academic freedom
are being restric’ed rather than being extended as
they must be, I do not think, Sir, that a / social
purpose.or a social value can be IMPARTED in the
teaching by a tcacher through the imposition of
restrictions / on vis freedom of thinking. I feel that
teachers need academic freedom for discharging
their duties in ar efficient way. (400)‘SHORTHAND TRANSCRIPTIONS’ by Sir Kailash Chandra, F.88, Bast of Kailash, New Delhi

‘Mr. Vice-Cheirman, Lwould now like to make a
few observations. on the Ministry of Education.
‘Education is basic / to any national REGENERATION.
LLis true that_ it does not bring any return as our
other projects de as / for instance, the steel projects
or the irrigation projects do. But this js the Investment
that is designed ‘o help / building up of the human
material. It is ag veed that education has expanded
after independence and during the plan periods. /
But itis a matter for CONCERN that the content of
education has nt been equal to our expectations.
Even (100) today. we are engaged in experimenting
with all types of sducation, from the basie stage up
to the university level. / It is not clear, I presume,
that the basic pa‘tern of education of whichso much
was snid and written, /is accepted,as a success even
today. Where do we.stand with roar to the. basic
pattern? Itsee the position that all arguments
Ere in favour of.taat type of education, but all proof
is against the/ success of such a type of education,
Where does the Government stand with regard to
this type of eduention? We (200) SWORE by-the basic
type of education because it was discovered by the
Father of the Netion, But if it/ has been a failure,
why should not the Government say that thatis the
position? Then again, take secondary education!
and also COLLEGIATE eilucation. Thres vears ago.
itwassald that ell universities should have THIREE-
YEAR degree conxses and / some universities whic
were RELUCTANT to accept this reform were more
‘or less, compelled to do so and they accepted / ii.
Now, certain universities find that this scheme is

Mr. Vice-Chairman, Sir, I rise to support the
Plantations Labour (Amendment) Bill brought up
by the Government for our / consideration.
Sir, the sad, PLIGHT \of millions of TOILING
people who sweat'on various plantations ‘in the
country to earn valuable foreign exchange for us is,
really too much to be expressed in words. These
workers_live and work in / most inhuman and
PITIABLE “conditions. These plantations include
tea; coffee, CINCHONA; rubber, ete. and as we know.
tea alone is‘/"drie of the major foreign exchange
earners of our.country. But,.Six, it is indeed most
REGRETTABLE that NOTWITHSTANDING a (100)
lapse of 84 years since “our-Independence, these
workers who earn crores and crores of rupees by
way of / foreign exchange have to live in most
miserable conditions. They-live.in houses that are
most INSECURE and, COLLAPSE frequently / and
when 'thesé workers die'as a result of these. collapses,
their guardians_or theiz DEPENDANTS.do not get
‘even/ die compensation for the loss that they have
to bear, UNHYGIENIC living in distant and EAR-
. FLUNG areas COMPOUNDED with /lack of medical
and educational facilities make their life UTTERLY
miserable. These Plantation workers have to live in
ABJECT poverty (200) like slaves of their employers,
And, as we know, most of these plantations are still
foreign-owned establishments, last VESTIGES of |
‘the COLONIAL rule, thé BRITISH RULE, and, as |
sald. it is a matter of deep regret for all of /us that
despite enacting an Act, the Plantations Labour
Act, 1951, we have not vet been/ able to EFFECT any
improvement in their conditions. I think the
employers alone are not responsible for their
miserable condition, / We are also as much responsible
as they are because although: we could enforee the
enactment and we could improve (300) their
conditions much earlier, we have failed in doing so.
Sir, on the 9th May, 1973, / this House, the Rajya
‘Sabha, decided that a Joint Committee should be
appointed to look into the desired amendment and
jput up 2 draft, as early as possible. for our
consideration, On the 26th May, 1973, / the Lok

that If the prices of food articles go up, that would
create difficulty, would be avoided. (240)
