This Act establishes the SreeNarayanaGuru Open University as a body corporate in the State of Kerala to provide higher education through regional centres and study centres. It defines the structure and powers of the university, including the roles of the Chancellor, Vice-Chancellor, and various councils, and grants the institution the legal authority to acquire property, manage funds, and enter into contracts. By creating this statutory framework, the legislation ensures the university can operate independently and effectively to offer academic courses and degrees to students and affiliated institutions across the state.
