Spicer Adventist University (Amendment) Act, 2019

Education201931 sections

The Spicer Adventist University (Amendment) Act, 2019, modifies the original 2014 legislation governing the Spicer Adventist University in Pune, Maharashtra. This amendment primarily strengthens the administrative oversight of the institution by redefining the role of the Secretarial Committee, which is tasked with verifying the university's compliance with its founding undertakings. Crucially, the amendment introduces a penal provision (Section 52) that makes any contravention of the Act a punishable offence for the university and its officers, carrying potential imprisonment and significant fines. This ensures the university remains accountable to the State Government and adheres to its self-financed status while maintaining academic and operational standards.
