Hi All, This is a big victory for CURE. We had submitted this list of cases to the Raghavan Committee in the second week of November. It has now been presented to the parliament through the HRD ministry. Unfortunately, this news report has not given the due recognition to CURE.
We are eagerly waiting for the SC judgement in December. We hope to see some concrete measures being taken and certain processes (which we have been recommending to the Raghavan Committee and the government for several months now) being set into place on the directives of the court.
