Grievance redressal Ombudsman in educational institutions soon

The Centre has decided to have a grievance redressal mechanism in higher educational institutions. In a statement issued in New Delhi on Monday, Human Resource Development Ministry said the mechanism, which was likely to come into effect from the coming academic session, would require every institute to constitute an ombudsman.

The statement said that students of both management and technical institutes, central and deemed-to-be universities will benefit from it apart from teachers of education institutions under National Council of Teachers Education. It said that the ombudsman would deliver order within one month.
