THE SWAMI RAMA HIMALAYAN UNIVERSITY ACT, 2012

The Swami Ram Himalyan Act

General201247 sections

This Act establishes and governs Swami Rama Himalayan University in Uttarakhand, promoted by the Himalayan Institute Hospital Trust. It regulates the university's corporate governance, academic faculties, administrative structures, officer duties, financial funds, and accreditation standards across disciplines including medical sciences, engineering, management, and humanities. The law applies to university officials, governing boards, teaching faculty, non-teaching employees, and enrolled students. It matters because it creates a self-financing private university expanding access to professional higher education in the state, while guaranteeing local residents forty percent seat reservation, a twenty-six percent tuition fee rebate, and preferential recruitment for support staff positions.
