Punjab to relax constructed area condition for universities to promote higher education

Chandigarh, Sep 17 (UNI) To aggressively promote higher education in the state, the Punjab Cabinet led by Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh on Thursday decided to reduce the requirement of constructed area from 50,000 sq mt to 30,000 sq mt for multi-domain University, and from 20,000 sq mt to 15,000 sq mt for single-domain University.
It has been decided to accordingly amend the Punjab Private University Policy-2010, an official spokesperson said after the cabinet meeting held through video conferencing. The move will encourage the establishment of more private universities in the state.
This decision has been taken in line with the recommendations of the committee, constituted under the Chief Secretary by the Higher Education Department with the approval of the Chief Minister, to consider the representations received from various sponsoring bodies for relaxation/amendment in various clauses of the Policy-2010 for the establishment of new Private Universities in the state.
