In a bid to regulate proliferation of educational institutions and to ensure quality education for youth, Haryana Government has decided to redistribute colleges as per the territorial jurisdiction of the state universities.
Education Minister Ram Bilas Sharma on Friday said the Government has established many State and private universities for imparting higher education to reach the required gross enrolment ratio and to maintain standards in higher education. The redistribution of the colleges as per the territorial jurisdiction of the State universities would ensure quality education for youth belonging to all sections of society, within their reach. The decision was necessitated as it was also being felt that affiliating all colleges with only some of the State universities was not administratively convenient or logistically desirable, said the Minister
