Permission comes with riders: official

The Shiv Nadar University, being set up as a private university by State legislation, will come up on a 230-acre site at Kalavakkam on the outskirts of Chennai, where the group’s SSN College of Engineering is located. The SSN Trust is expected to pump in at least Rs. 250 crore to set up the university.

“We are committed to creating a world class research institution,” an official associated with the proposed Shiv Nadar University said on condition of anonymity.

Separately, Kala Vijayakumar, president of SSN Institutions, said the university would come up on SSN’s 230-acre campus and would offer multi-disciplinary courses in fields, including engineering, commerce, arts and law.

As of now, there is no proposal to set up a medical college, Ms. Vijayakumar said.

The Sai Education, Medical, Research and Charitable Trust, administered by K.V. Ramani, chairman and managing director of Digital Holdings and a former director of ELCOT, will build the Sai University, on the outskirts of Chennai.
