The government is soon going to introduce a bill which would permit the instituting of private universities under very strict directions.

The correct answer is: A. We have some private universities in our country even now.

The other options are incorrect because:

• B. The demand for more universities is being stepped up. This is not a reason why the government is introducing a bill to permit the instituting of private universities. The government may be introducing the bill for other reasons, such as to increase access to higher education or to improve the quality of higher education.
• C. Such directions can also be issued without informing the Parliament. This is not true. The government cannot issue directions to establish anything in the private sector without informing the Parliament. The Parliament has to approve any such directions.
• D. The government gives directions to establish anything in private sector. This is not true. The government does not give directions to establish anything in the private sector. The private sector is free to establish any business or enterprise that it wants.
• E. Unless and until the directions are given, the private universities can charge exorbitant fees. This is not true. The government can regulate the fees charged by private universities even without issuing any directions. The government can set a maximum fee that private universities can charge.
