The Jharkhand Assembly saw the passage of several significant bills, including the Jharkhand State University Bill 2025. This bill gives the Chief Minister the power to appoint key officials in universities, such as VCs and Pro-VCs, as well as determine the recruitment and promotion of university staff. The Senate will be chaired by the Pro-VC or the Minister of Higher and Technical Education, meeting twice annually. The Jharkhand Professional Educational Institutions (Fee Regulation) Bill 2025 seeks to regulate fees charged by private professional institutions, establishing a fee regulatory framework and a grievance redressal system for students. In addition, the Jharkhand Coaching Center (Control and Regulation) Bill 2025 was passed, leading to the formation of a state-level authority and district-level regulatory bodies to monitor coaching centers. Mandatory registration will be required for all involved. The Jharkhand Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (Special Exemption) Bill 2025 provides exemptions for MSMEs from certain government requirements. Furthermore, the Jharkhand Platform-Based Gig Workers (Registration and Welfare) Bill 2025 aims to establish a regulatory framework for gig workers, ensuring fair working conditions, minimum wages, and social security, along with a registration system to promote their welfare.
