New Delhi: The Union Cabinet on Wednesday approved an expenditure of Rs 3,639.32 crore for 13 new central universities for recurring cost and creation of necessary infrastructure in order to finish work on their campuses. According to a government note, the work will be completed with 36 months.
Union Minister Piyush Goyal said during Cabinet briefing that the move will increase access to higher education and set exemplary standards for other universities to emulate and will help in minimising regional imbalances in educational facilities
The new central universities were established under the Central Universities Act, 2009, in the states of Bihar, Gujarat, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Kerala, Odisha, Punjab, Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu.
