Chandigarh:21.12.2021
The Haryana legislative assembly passed the Haryana Private Universities (Amendment) Bill, 2021, which was tabled on the first day of the ongoing winter session on Monday.
The Private Universities (Amendment) Bill, 2021 has been passed to further amend the Haryana Private Universities Act, 2006. In order to accommodate the unprecedented growth of students in higher education, and also to cross the target of 50% gross enrolment ratio (GER), as per National Education Policy, 2020, there is a need to roughly double the number of institutions at all levels and the government intervention would not be adequate to meet this benchmark. Haryana Private Universities Act, 2006, has been brought essentially to rope in private sector to supplement the government initiative in expanding the capacity in higher education and upscaling its standards. To achieve the objectives of the Act, proposal has been made to setup Geeta University in Panipat.
OTHER BILLS
Three other bills were also tabled in the House — The Haryana Pond and Waste Water Management Authority (Amendment) Bill, 2021, The Haryana Scheduled Roads and Controlled Areas Restriction of Unregulated Development (Amendment and Validation) Bill, 2021 and The Panchkula Metropolitan Development Authority (Amendment) Bill, 2021 — and will be passed later after a detailed discussion.
