Private varsity for technical education
By a Staff Reporter
GUWAHATI, March 7: In order to provide for establishment and incorporation of 
private universities in Asom for imparting higher education and to regulate 
their functions and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto, Asom 
Education Minister Ripun Bora introduced the Assam Private Universities Bill, 
2007 in the State Assembly today.
While introducing the Bill, Education Minister Ripun Bora said that the two 
engineering colleges set up in the State were totally inadequate to cater to 
the growing need of students in the State, and the existing capacity of 
technical education in the State for degree as well as diploma courses was 
significantly lower than the national average. “HRD Minister Arjun Singh 
suggested that the State Government should plan for expanding the capacity 
under technical education to bring it at par with the national level at least 
by the end of 11th Plan period,” Bora said, and added: “Taking these in view, 
the Education Department scanned steps taken by States in this direction in the 
post-Chattisgarh Private University judgement by the Supreme Court. Rajasthan 
and Haryana enacted private university legislation in 2005 and 2006 
respectively, and taking these legislation as a guideline, the Assam Private 
University Bill-2007 has been introduced.”
