AUTHORITATIVE ENGLISH TEXT THE BAHRA UNIVERSITY (ESTABLISHMENT AND REGULATION) ACT, 2010

The Bahra University (Establishment and Regulation) Act, 2010

Education201046 sections

This legislation establishes and governs Bahra University as a privately funded institution in Himachal Pradesh. The Act regulates the university's academic powers, funding mechanisms, and organizational structure, applying directly to its sponsoring body, administrators, teachers, and students. It matters because it creates a strong, legally binding framework that guarantees academic standards, prohibits discrimination, and requires a security deposit in the form of a three crore rupees endowment fund to ensure strict compliance. By enforcing these rules, the law protects the interests of both students and employees, ensuring the university provides quality higher education without using any direct state taxpayer funds.
