Statutory backdrop of the dispute
1. The profession of teaching is classically and scripturally regarded as amongst the noblest of professions. One of the immortal dohas1 of poet-saint Kabir reads:
???? ??????? ??? ????, ???? ????? ?????
??????? ???? ???? ??????? ???? ??????2
2. On the broad shoulders of the teacher rests the responsibility of nurturing and bringing into existence an entire new generation, which represents the nation builders of tomorrow. From infancy to adulthood, it is often the teacher, more than anyone else, including parents, who moulds and crafts the character of the individual, and shapes and gives form and substance to his perceptions and predilections, which are to form the basis of his outlook for the whole of tomorrow.
3. The responsibility that rests on a teacher is, therefore, onerous. The teacher is a sculptor, save that he sculpts live human beings, not inanimate clay. The ability to read, peer into the soul of, and psychoanalyse the individual, from childhood to adolescence to maturity, has, therefore, to inhere in every teacher. A teacher, who does not understand or comprehend the minutiae of the elements of the students character may, even if unwittingly, cause incalculable harm to the student under her, or his, guidance and tutelage.
4. It is of essence, therefore, that the educator is also educated.
5. The art of how to educate is a science in itself. Teaching the teacher how to teach is, therefore, itself a matter of great import, which cannot brook any compromise in standards. It is, therefore, to monitor the standards of institutions which educate the educators that the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) was set up in 1973 by a Government resolution, as a national expert body to advise Central and State Governments on all matters pertaining to teacher education.
6. Till 1993, the status and role of the NCTE was purely advisory. This resulted in unplanned growth of Teacher Education Institutions (TEIs) in a random and unchecked fashion. The then prevalent National Policy on Education (NPE), therefore, framed a Programme of Action in 1986, which envisaged conferment of the NCTE with requisite resources and capability to accredit TEIs and provide guidance regarding the curricula and methods of education to be followed. The Programme of Action also envisaged conferring, on the NCTE, statutory status.
7. The National Council for Teacher Education Bill was, therefore, tabled in Parliament in 1993. Consequent to grant of Presidential assent, the Bill acquired statutory status as the National Council for Teacher Education Act, 1993 (the NCTE Act).
8. Section 1(3) of the NCTE Act envisages its coming into force on a date to be notified by the Central Government in that regard. Notification No. S.O. 620(E) dated 1 July 1995, brought the NCTE Act into force from that date. Thus, the NCTE Act came into effect from 1 July 1995.
Salient features of the NCTE Act
9. Section 123 of the NCTE Act casts, on the NCTE, the duty to take all such steps as it may think fit, for ensuring planned and coordinated development of teacher education and for determination and maintenance of standards of teacher education. For this purpose, Section 12 confers various powers on the NCTE which includes, in clause (c), the power to coordinate and monitor teacher education and its development in the country; in clause (j), to examine and review, periodically, implementation of the norms, guidelines and standards laid down by the NCTE and suitably advise recognised institutions and, in clause (n), to perform such other functions as may be entrusted to it by the Central Government.
10. In exercise of the powers conferred by Section 20(1)4, the NCTE has, by notification, established an Eastern Regional Committee (ERC), Western Regional Committee (WRC), Northern Regional Committee (NRC) and Southern Regional Committee (SRC). The functions of these Regional Committees are contained in Section 14, 15 and 165 of the NCTE Act, with the further stipulation in Section 20(6)6 that the Regional Committees are also required to perform such other functions as may be assigned to them by the NCTE or determined by regulations.
11. Section 137 of the NCTE Act empowers the NCTE to cause inspection of any TEIs, in such manner as may be prescribed, for the purpose of ascertaining whether the TEI is functioning in accordance with the provisions of the NCTE Act. Prescribed is defined in Section 2(h) as meaning prescribed by rules made under Section 31 of the NCTE Act, in the exercise of which the Central Government has promulgated the National Council for Teacher Education (Procedure for Recognition of Certain Categories of Institutions) Rules, 2006 (hereinafter referred to as the NCTE Rules).
12. Section 13(3) requires the NCTE, consequent on inspection of any TEI, to communicate, to it, the results of the inspection and the views of the NCTE in that regard and to recommend, to the concerned TEI, any action that is required to be taken by it.
13. Chapter IV of the NCTE Act deals with recognition of TEIs. Section 15 deals with grant of permission for a new course or training by a recognised TEI, and Section 16 requires the affiliating body, to which the TEI is to be affiliated, to grant affiliation consequent on recognition or grant of permission by the NCTE to the TEI. Of these, the provision which is pivotal to the dispute at hand, and on which the petitioners place especial reliance, is Section 14(3).
14. Section 14, as noted, deals with recognition of TEIs. Every TEI, or institution intending to offer a course or training in teacher education may, under Section 14(1), apply to the concerned Regional Committee for grant of recognition under the NCTE Act. Section 14(3) sets out the manner in which such applications are to be dealt with, by the concerned Regional Committee. In case any further particulars are required from the concerned institution, the Regional Committee is required to call upon the institution to provide such particulars. Once such particulars, if any, are obtained, the Regional Committee has to assess whether the TEI has adequate financial resources, accommodation, library, qualified staff and laboratory and whether it fulfils other conditions required for proper functioning of the institution for providing a course or training in teacher education. The requisite conditions in this regard are to be as determined by the National Council for Teacher Education (Recognition Norms and Procedure) Regulations, 2014 (hereinafter referred to as the 2014 Regulations).
15. If the Regional Committee is satisfied that the TEI has the requisite resources and satisfies other stipulated conditions in order to enable it to properly function as a TEI, Section 14(3)(a) requires the Regional Committee to mandatorily grant recognition to the institution. If the Regional Committee is, on the other hand, of the opinion that the TEI does not fulfil the necessary requirements, the Regional Committee has, under Section 14(3)(b), equally mandatorily, to pass a reasoned order refusing recognition to the institution, prior to which the Regional Committee is required to provide a reasonable opportunity to the concerned institution to make a written representation.
16. Every TEI is required to be affiliated to a university, agency or authority for conducting examinations in teacher education qualifications. Such university, agency or authority is defined, in Section 2(d)8 as the examining body. Section 14(6) mandatorily requires every examining body to, on receipt of an order of the Regional Committee either granting or refusing recognition to the TEI as sought in Section 14(1), either grant affiliation to the TEI, if it has been granted recognition, or cancel the affiliation of the TEI, where recognition has been refused.
17. Section 15 deals with a situation in which a recognised TEI intends to start a new course of training in teacher education. Before starting any such new course, the TEI is required to obtain permission therefore, from the concerned Regional Committee, for which it is required to apply under Section 15(1). As in the case of Section 14(3), Section 15(3) requires the Regional Committee, on receipt of such an application from a TEI which proposes to start a new course in teacher education, to first call upon the TEI to provide any additional particulars if necessary. Thereafter, the Regional Committee proceeds as it does in the case of an application from an institution seeking recognition under Section 14(3). If the Regional Committee is satisfied that the TEI has the requisite financial resources, accommodation, library, staff and laboratory and fulfils other stipulated conditions for properly conducting of the proposed new course in teacher education, the Regional Committee shall mandatorily pass an order granting permission to the TEI to start the course. If it is not satisfied that the TEI fulfils the said requirements, the Regional Committee has to pass an order refusing permission to the TEI to commence a new course, for reasons to be recorded in writing, prior to which the TEI has to be granted an opportunity to submit a written representation.
18. Section 16 reiterates what is contained in Sections 14 and 15, insofar as the duty of the affiliating body is concerned. It proscribes the affiliating/examining body from granting affiliation, provisional or otherwise, to any TEI and from holding any examination for a course or training conducted by TEI, unless the TEI has obtained recognition under Section 14 or permission to commence a new course under Section 15.
19. Section 179 deals with the power of the Regional Committee to punish for contravention of the provisions of the NCTE Act, or any rules, regulations or orders made thereunder. Any such contravention, on the part of a TEI, or breach, by a TEI, of any condition subject to which recognition under Section 14 or permission under Section 15, was granted to it by the Regional Committee, empowers the Regional Committee, under Section 17(1), to withdraw the recognition of such TEI. The order of withdrawal has to be reasoned and in writing and has to be preceded by a reasonable opportunity, to the concerned TEI, to represent against the proposed order. Once recognition of a TEI is withdrawn under Section 17(1), Section 17(3) obligates the TEI to discontinue the course or training in teacher education in respect of which the withdrawal order has been passed. Section 17(3) further obligates the examining/affiliating body to forthwith cancel the affiliation of the concerned TEI.
20. Section 18 provides for appeals, to the NCTE, against the decision of the Regional Committee, under Sections 14, 15 or 17 within the period stipulated in that regard.
National Council for Teachers Education Rules 1997 (the NCTE Rules 1997)
21. These Rules are not of particular significance, save and except to note that the procedure for inspection of a TEI is provided under Rule 8 thereof.
The National Council for Teacher Education (Recognition, Norms and Procedure) Regulations, 2014 (the NCTE Regulations)
22. The NCTE Regulations were promulgated, in exercise of the powers conferred by Section 32(2) of the NCTE Act, and came into effect on 1 December 2014. Regulation 310 deals with the applicability of the NCTE Regulations. By generally declaring that the NCTE Regulations would be applicable to all matters relating to teacher education programmes for preparing norms and standards and procedure for recognition of institutions, commencement of new programmes and addition to sanctioned intake in the existing programmes, Regulation 3 specifically includes, in the applicability of the NCTE Regulations, recognition for commencement of new teacher education programmes [vide clause (a)] and permission for introduction of new programmes in existing TEIs [vide clause (b)].
23. Clause (a) further stipulates that recognition for commencement of new teacher education programmes would be offered in composite institutions. Composite institution is defined in Regulation 2(b) as meaning a duly recognised higher education institution offering undergraduate or postgraduate programmes of study in the field of liberal arts or humanities or social sciences or sciences or commerce or mathematics, as the case may be, at the time of applying for recognition of teacher education programmes, or an institution offering multiple teacher education programmes.
24. Regulation 411 deals with the categories of institutions which are eligible for consideration of their applications under the 2014 Regulations. Under the said Regulation, all institutions established by or under the authority of the Central or State Government or Union Territory Administration, institutions financed centrally or by state government or Union Territory Administration, all universities, or all self-financed educational institutions established and operated by not for profit societies and trusts, or companies incorporated under the Companies Act, 2013, are eligible for consideration of their applications.
25. Regulation 5(1)12 permits every eligible institution, desirous of running a teacher education programme, to apply to the concerned Regional Committee for recognition in the manner prescribed. Regulation 5(6)13 mandatorily requires all applications received online from 1st March to 31st May of the year to be processed for the next academic session and for a final decision, either to grant, or to refuse recognition, to be communicated to the concerned TEI on or before the 3rd day of March of the succeeding year.
26. Regulation 714 deals with the manner in which applications under Regulation 5 are to be processed.
27. For the purposes of the present controversy, it is not necessary to enter into the specifics of the procedure to be followed in that regard, which envisages, inter alia, forwarding of the application to the State Government and the affiliating institution and visiting of the institution by a team of experts. Learned Counsel for the petitioners, however, stress the fact that each step of the exercise is statutorily time bound, which is an aspect which I would address later.
28. Regulation 7(10) clarifies that the Regional Committee would decide the grant of recognition or permission to a TEI only after satisfying itself that the TEI fulfils all conditions prescribed under the NCTE Act, regulations, rules, norms and standards.
29. Regulation 7(13) is of some importance. It envisages the TEI concerned being informed, through a Letter of Intent (LoI), regarding the decision for grant of recognition or permission subject to appointment of qualified faculty members before the commencement of the academic session. The LoI is required to be sent to the concerned TEI and the affiliating body with a request that the process of appointment of qualified staff be initiated and the TEI be provided all assistance to ensure that the staff and faculty is appointed as per the prescribed norms within two months. The TEI is required to submit the list of faculty, as approved by the affiliating body, to the Regional Committee. Consequent on appointment of the requisite faculty and staff, and after fulfilment of conditions for grant of recognition stipulated in Regulation 8, the TEI is required, under Regulation 7(15), to formally inform the Regional Committee about the appointments.
30. Regulation 7(16) also requires the TEI to provide, to the Regional Committee, the letter granting approval for the selection or appointment of faculty. Once this is done, Regulation 7(16) envisages the Regional Committee issuing a formal order of recognition, to be notified as provided under the NCTE Act.
31. Regulation 7(17) deals with a situation in which the Regional Committee, after consideration of the records and the facts available, is of the opinion that the TEI does not fulfil the requirements for starting or conducting of the course. In such a case, the Regional Committee is required to give an opportunity of hearing to the TEI and thereafter, pass an order refusing to allow any further opportunity for removal of deficiencies or inspection, for reasons to be recorded in writing. Said order is appealable under Section 18 of the NCTE Act.
32. Regulation 8 contains conditions for grant of recognition. Regulation 8(1)15 requires new TEIs to be located in composite institutions. Existing standalone institutions are also required, by the said sub-regulation, to gradually move towards becoming composite institutions.
33. Sub-regulations (2) to (7)16 stipulate the various conditions to be satisfied by the institution seeking grant of recognition. Sub-regulation (8)17 provides that, at the time of inspection of an existing TEI which desires to start a new programme, the visiting team would also verify the facilities for existing teacher education programmes for which recognition has already been accorded by the NCTE. Sub-regulation (10)18 provides that the examining/affiliating body would grant affiliation only after issuance of formal recognition order under Regulation 7(16) and furt
