The Indian Institute of Information Technology Bill, 2014
The School of Planning and Architecture Bill, 2014
The School of Planning and Architecture, New Delhi, India, a premier institution in the field of Planning and Architecture, was established in 1959 as an autonomous society, registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860. In 1979, the School was conferred with the status of ‘Deemed University’.
In light of the vast changes taking place in the urban, rural and industrial environment in the country and with a view to adapting to the ever evolving Planning and Architectural education system globally, two new Schools of Planning and Architecture one each at Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh) and Vijayawada (Andhra Pradesh), were established by the Central Government in 2008, as registered societies under the Societies Registration Act, 1860.
The Government brought forward The School of Planning and Architecture Bill to confer the status of ‘institution of national importance’ to all the three Schools of Planning and Architecture at New Delhi, Bhopal and Vijayawada, thereby enabling them to emerge as ‘centres of excellence’ with the objective of meeting the national and international standards of planners and architects in an ever increasing environment of urbanisation and industrialization.
RationaThe Delhi Special Police Establishment (Amendment) Bill, 2014 Section 4A of the Delhi Special Police Establishment Act, 1946, as amended by the Lokpal and Lokayuktas Act, 2013 (1 of 2014), provided for a Committee for recommending a panel of officers to the Central Government for appointment of the Director of the Delhi Special Police Establishment. As per the existing provision in clause (b) of sub-section (1) of Section 4A, the Leader of Opposition in the House of People, Parliament of India is one of the members of the said committee. In the absence of a provision as to how the selection might be made when there is no Leader of Opposition recognized as such in the House of People, it was considered appropriate to amend clause (b) of sub-section (1) of Section 4A of the Delhi Special Police Establishment Act, 1946 and make enabling provison for inclusion of the Leader of the single largest Opposition Party in the House of the People as a member of the said committee. Keeping in view the legislative practice followed in this regard, the Government proposed to provide that no appointment of a Director shall be invalid merely by reason of any vacancy or absence of a Member in the committee. The Government accordingly brought forward the Delhi Special Police Establishment (Amendment) Bill, 2014. The Amending Bill effected an amendment to Section 4A
1. Education is a key element for developing human resources and contributing to the growth of the society. From a relatively small beginning, the Indian Information Technology (IT) had emerged as a strong and credible force and is now recognized as a major constituent of the global IT services industry. In order to develop manpower for different areas of knowledge economy, education and training in Information Technology is a prerequisite.
2. A major objective in establishing Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIITs) is also to set up a model of education which can produce best-in-class human resources in IT and harnessing the multi-dimensional facets of IT in various domains. These are conceived as research-led institutions contributing significantly to the global competitiveness of key sectors of the Indian economy and industry with application of IT in selected domain areas. While the number of students produced by these IIITs might be small, the impact they are likely to create would be substantial. 3. The Government brought forward the IIIT (Amendment) Bill to provide the four existing IIITs funded by the Central Government independent statutory status with uniform governance structure and policy framework as also to declare them as Institutions of national importance and to enable them to grant degrees to their students in the academic courses conducted by these Institutes.
