Yogi said these new universities should not be seen merely as academic campuses, but as part of PM Narendra Modi’s broader vision—aimed at delivering quality, employment-oriented, and accessible higher education to youth across every district, the press release read.
The initiative, the CM added, will not only expand academic reach, but also liberate higher education from regional limitations. Laying out the priorities for construction, he directed that the administrative building, academic block, and vice chancellors’ residence must be completed in the first phase—on time and with uncompromised quality.
In the second phase, the construction of hostels and residential quarters should be fast-tracked. He further instructed that at least 500 workers be deployed at each site to ensure momentum and seriousness in execution, spokesperson said.
To ensure smooth functioning of the three universities, Yogi directed immediate appointment of full-time registrar, controller of examinations, and controller of finance.
