Education202051 sections

This Act establishes and regulates the Khangchendzonga Buddhist University as a self-financing, non-profit private minority university in Sikkim, sponsored by the Denjong Charities trust. It sets up the university's governance structure, including a Board of Governors, Academic Council, and administrative officers, while granting powers to offer courses, confer degrees, and establish constituent colleges. The law applies to the university management, faculty, staff, and enrolled students, reserving ten percent of seats with financial aid for local Sikkim residents. It matters because it expands higher education opportunities rooted in Buddhist philosophy and modern skills, fostering regional intellectual growth under state oversight.
