No more private universities

Eng. Md. Mehebub Haque, BUET
In recent times setting up of private universities has become a fashion. This is a profitable business in the name of providing education. The recent annual reports published by the UGC indicate that private universities are widely offering business oriented courses to produce graduates and post graduates. There are many universities which are running without having the UGC's approval. Thus, the quality of education has deteriorated alarmingly. Also, foreign culture is being widely exercised in those universities, which has a long term detrimental effects on our moral values. It is high time the govt. stopped giving permission to set up any more private university.
