Bare Act

The Himachal Pradesh University of Agriculture Horticulture and Forestry Act, 1986

This amendment act updates the 1986 law governing agricultural, horticultural, and forestry universities in Himachal Pradesh. Specifically, it modifies Section 44 regarding state funding and financial grants to these institutions. Under this revised provision, the Himachal Pradesh state government provides annual grants to the universities based on terms, conditions, and amounts explicitly approved by the state legislature in the annual budget. This law applies to state-run agricultural universities and state financial authorities. It matters because it ensures that public funding for specialized agricultural higher education and research remains transparent, subject to direct legislative approval and ongoing budgetary oversight.
