This Act establishes FLAME University in Pune, Maharashtra, as a non-affiliating institution dedicated to higher education and research. It provides the legal framework for the university to function, defining its objects to include teaching, skills development, and research in fields like liberal arts and life sciences. The legislation governs the university's administration through a Board of Management and a Governing Body, while also outlining the roles of its sponsoring body, the Foundation for Liberal and Management Education Society. By creating this corporate entity, the Act ensures the university can operate independently and confer degrees to its students.
