CHENNAI: Fearing poaching by means of neighbouring states, the state is set to introduce a invoice within the current session of the assembly to allow putting in place of 2 state personal universities, one by means of industrialist Shiv Nadar's HCL crew and some other by means of a renowned businessman-turned-philanthropist.
Sources stated the forms have been going on for more than seven months, however the invoice is being rushed now to forestall poaching. Highly positioned resources stated that one state personal university (Krea University), which was to come back up in Tamil Nadu, had already moved to Sri City in neighbouring Andhra Pradesh at the northern fringes of Chennai. "We are introducing these bills to prevent losing more such universities to other states," an official stated.
Set up with an funding of 750 crore, Krea is backed by means of the Institute of Financial Management and Research and has corporate leaders like Mahindra Group chairman Anand Mahindra and JSW Group chairman Sajjan Jindal as a part of its governing council.
State personal universities like Azim Premji University in Karnataka and Sikkim Manipal University in Sikkim are other from a deemed university. Since schooling is at the concurrent checklist, the state can move a invoice to set up a non-public university. There are more than 270 state personal universities around the country governed directly by means of the University Grants Commission. These universities are free to set charge constructions for their classes and feature state executive officers at the board of the university.
"Private universities started to show interest in moving to other states and just to prevent them from leaving Tamil Nadu, we have turned aggressive and decided to move the bill," stated an official.
Interestingly, the HCL crew had signed the agreement for the university all through the Global Investors Meet in 2014.
Apart from Nadar's SSN institutions, the other university has also sought a no-objection certificate from the state. The draft invoice to allow each universities might be handed on July 9, the final day of the current session. Officials stated they might come up on 100 acres of land every and would have a corpus of 50 crore.
