6.1.iii: Educational and Research Piracy

Crack down on piracy in the educational and research sectors.

Other Information:

A national initiative to crack down on piracy in the educational and research sectors should be initiated. The Ministry of Human Resource Development (and other relevant ministries, such as Health, for medical schools) could issue directives to all public and private educational and research institutions to stop using unauthorized photocopies of books and journals; take action against on-campus copy-shops engaged in illegal activity; and report periodically to the Ministry on what steps have been taken. This data would form the basis for more targeted efforts in the future. Action: Ministry of Human Resource Development, GoI.
