1. This hearing has been done through hybrid mode.

2. The Petitioner- Team Lease Education Foundation, a National

Employability Enhancement Scheme (NEEM) agent, who was recognised

by the Government of India, has challenged the impugned order dated 23rd

December, 2022 by which NEEM has been discontinued, with immediate

effect. The said order issued by the Technical Section-II, Department of

Higher Education, Ministry of Education and communicated to the

Chairman, All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) reads as:

Subject: National Employability Enhancement Scheme

(NEEM) - regarding

Sir, I am directed to refer to AICTE letter F. No. 3-

1/D-SDC/NEEM/2021 dated 11.08.2022 regarding

revised draft NEEM guidelines forwarded to the

Ministry for consideration and to convey that it has

been decided to discontinue the Scheme with

immediate effect.

2. In light of the above, AICTE is requested to close the

above scheme with immediate effect.

3. The Petitioner challenges the above decision of the Respondents to

discontinue the NEEM scheme and the resulting letter dated 23rd December,

2022.

4. The case of the Petitioner is that under the NEEM scheme, which was

notified on 15th April, 2013, in the Gazette of India, training is imparted to

students in various skills to enable them to secure employment. The purpose

of the NEEM Scheme is to facilitate upskilling and make Indian youth ready

for employment in various industries.

5. The case of the Petitioner is that in view of the impugned order/letter,

as per the Petitioner, more than 26,000 students who are receiving training

would be impacted. Considering the large scale impact of the impugned

letter dated 23rd December, 2022, Mr. Anil Soni, ld. Counsel would seek

instructions in the matter.

6. In the meantime, it is made clear that the Petitioner shall make no

fresh admissions. However, considering the fact that the NEEM Scheme has

been in operation for the last decade or so, the sudden stoppage of the

scheme could result in adverse impact on those who are already enrolled.

Accordingly, the students currently enrolled with the Petitioner shall

continue to receive the training as also any certifications that would

otherwise have been given to them under the NEEM Scheme.

7. The Court also directs a responsible official from the concerned

Ministry to remain present in Court on the next date of hearing.

8. List on 24th February, 2023.
