Introduction is fine. Some value addition can be done by mentioning some context, for example, the University Grants Commission recently unveiled its guidelines for transforming Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) into autonomous institutions.
Challenges mentioned are good, you can divide it into administrative issues and operational issues otherwise points are fine.
Way forward is also decent, however, governor is not the only person responsible for politicization, so you can make the point broader by mentioning that HEIs in both public and private must be away from political affiliations. Also, when you talk of removal of governor as chancellor, you can mention Sarkaria or Puncchi commission to give weight to your argument as these commissions had argued for the role of the Governor to be restricted to constitutional provisions only. Also, some NEP recommendations can be mentioned such as provisions to transform colleges into either multidisciplinary universities or degree-awarding autonomous institutions; same set of norms for public and private HEIs; affiliation of colleges to be phased out in 15 years etc. Other points such as more autonomy, collaboration with foreign universities, training students etc are good.
Conclusion is fine.
Keep practicing. 🙂
