Education202554 sections

This Act establishes the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Skill University in Sikkim as a private, non-affiliating institution dedicated to vocational education and skill development. It defines the university's governance structure, including the extensive powers of the Chancellor and Vice-Chancellor, and mandates strict adherence to University Grants Commission (UGC) norms. The Act outlines financial requirements, such as the establishment of a mandatory Endowment Fund, and sets specific quotas for local student admissions and non-teaching staff recruitment. It also provides a legal framework for the university's operation, potential dissolution, and the State Government's oversight powers to ensure academic standards and financial accountability are maintained.
