The present rapid proliferation of private institutes of higher education, with the sole motive of making maximum possible profit, and keen global competition, call for urgent steps to streamline them and for introducing some stringent regulations to check the deteriorating quality of education and monitor their practices. The government has set up various agencies to monitor and control the activities of the private institutes but these have only limited success due to their overlapping and opaque functioning. Moreover, corruption and dubious practices have creeped-in in these private institutes and they have successfully circumvented the rules with impunity. It is argued in the present article that e-governance through a national or nodal agency or a Central Commission of Higher education will be a more effective regulatory body instead of the many agencies with overlapping and ambiguous responsibilities. E-governance would also result in greater transparency in the affairs of private institutes, in particular, and at the same time would make services delivery more prompt and cost-effective.
