Education200739 sections

The Pandit Deendayal Petroleum University (Amendment) Act, 2021, is a legislative update to the original 2007 Act that established the Pandit Deendayal Petroleum University in Gujarat. The primary purpose of this 2021 amendment was to rename the institution to "Pandit Deendayal Energy University" to reflect its expanding academic scope beyond petroleum studies. This Act governs the university's administrative structure, including its Board of Governors, Academic Council, and financial management. For the ordinary citizen, this ensures the university operates under a clear legal framework, maintaining standards for higher education, research, and training in energy and related sectors.
