Kolkata, Dec 4 (UNI) Three Bills have been passed in the West Bengal
Assembly for the creation of three universities – The West Bengal Green
University Bill, The Purba Medinipur University Bill and The Jhargram
University Bill.
All three universities would be State Government-funded.
West Bengal Green University would be set up in Hooghly district. It
would be a centre of excellence for studies and research in subjects
related to environment, surface management, bio-diversity, etc. Both
graduate and postgraduate courses would be conducted here.
The courses would be job-oriented. All types of pollution – land, water,
surface and noise – would be studied here. This would be the first state
university here.
Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress Government
has taken several steps for facilitating the holistic development of the
education sector.
Seventeen universities have already been set up over
the last six years, five more are in process, as a result of which many
more students have been able to go for higher education.
