Bare Act
The Dhamma Dipa International Buddhist University Act 2022
This Act establishes the Dhamma Dipa International Buddhist University as an autonomous, self-financed private institution in Tripura, sponsored by a religious trust. It outlines the university's governance structure, administrative authorities, officer responsibilities, financial mechanisms, and statutory rules for academic programs. The law applies to university administrators, faculty, non-teaching staff, enrolled students, and affiliated academic units. By creating a legal framework to grant degrees in disciplines spanning Buddhist studies, Indology, medicine, engineering, and humanities, the Act matters because it broadens access to higher education, promotes interdisciplinary research, and preserves traditional Indian wisdom alongside contemporary learning in the region.
