The Abhilashi University (Establishment and Regulation) Act, 2014

Education201445 sections

This Act establishes and regulates Abhilashi University as an independent, privately funded institution in Himachal Pradesh. It applies directly to the university's sponsoring body, governing officials, employees, and enrolled students. The legislation regulates the university's academic powers, financial administration, and curriculum guidelines, ensuring strict adherence to national academic standards. This matters because it establishes a robust legal framework to offer diverse higher education programs and research opportunities in the region, operating entirely without state funding. Crucially, it safeguards student and public interests through clear regulatory oversight and a mandatory three crore rupee endowment fund security deposit pledged to the government.
