New ministry rules set curbs on academic freedom online
In a move likely to affect academic freedom at India’s public sector higher education institutions, the government has now made it mandatory for academics and organisers to obtain prior clearance from the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) to hold international webinars or online seminars on topics touching on India’s security and internal issues and on subjects the government believes are sensitive.
The revised guidelines were issued on 15 January by the Ministry of Education in consultation with MEA and came into immediate effect.
According to the guidelines, when giving permission to hold the online event, the government will ensure the subject matter is not related to the country’s Northeast States – considered sensitive due to a long history of insurgency – the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir and the Ladakh region which saw clashes between Indian and Chinese troops in 2020.
