This legislation establishes Shri Ramasamy Memorial University as a self-financing private university in Sikkim, India. Sponsored by the SRM Trust, the Act provides the legal framework for the university's governance, administrative structure, financial management, academic programs, and operational powers. It applies to university administrators, faculty, staff, students, and constituent institutions or learning centers operating under its umbrella. The statute matters because it enables the establishment of a modern higher education institution focused on flexible, industry-aligned learning and skill development while ensuring regulatory oversight, academic standards, non-discriminatory admissions, and financial independence from the state government.
