Answer: Educational Reforms
Notes: The Ministry of Education recently approved reforms in Higher Education Institutions' accreditation system based on recommendations from the Dr. Radhakrishnan Committee. The Composite Assessment System (CAS) merges Program and Institutional Accreditation, introducing Binary Accreditation. NAAC aims to implement this in four months, with no new applications under the old system. Maturity-Based Graded Accreditation from Level 1 to 5 will be enforced by December 2024. Additionally, a unified One Nation One Data Platform and "Stakeholder validation" are proposed for transparent accreditation processes.
