Students will get world class education
Highlighting its impact, Higher Education Minister Yogendra Upadhyay said that higher education reforms will improve the image of Uttar Pradesh on both national and international forums.
Yogendra Upadhyay said that with the establishment of new universities and foreign campuses, students will get the opportunity to get world class education in their home state. They will no longer need to go out of the state, as high quality education will now be affordable and easily available. He said that till now only institutions registered in Uttar Pradesh could establish universities within the state. However, the new bills will open the doors for institutions, companies and trusts registered in other states to open private universities in Uttar Pradesh. He said that foreign universities recognized by the UGC will also be eligible to set up campuses in the state.
