STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS O. P. Jindal Global University is a private University established under the Haryana Private Universities Act, 2006. O.P. Jindal Global University has submitted application before the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India under the Universities Grants Commission (Institutions of Eminence Deemed to be Universities) Regulations, 20l7 to declare it as an Institution of Eminence Deemed to be University. Under Clause 6.1 (x) of the Regulations in case any State Private University is recommended for selection as an Institution of Eminence, it has to submit an undertaking from the respective State Government that the State Government will introduce an appropriate legislation in the State Legislature for withdrawal of Private University status before declaring them as Institution of Eminence Deemed to be University. Further, an undertaking was given by the Haryana State Government that it would introduce appropriate legislation in the State Legislature withdrawing the status of O.P. Jindal Global University as a Private University, under the Haryana Private Universities Act, 2006. It is also provided in the proposed Amendment Act that this amendment would come into force only from the date of publication of the notification declaring O.P. Jindal Global University as an Institution of Eminence Deemed to be University by the Central Government in the Official Gazette under Section 3 of the UGC Act, 1956. As per the provision envisaged in the present Haryana Private Universities Act, 2006 there is no scope for the change of name of an established Private University under the Act. Therefore, to insert a clause for change of name is also required and therefore an amendment for insertion of such clause in the principal Act has also been introduced. Further, there is a need for creation and expansion of educational institutions for improving opportunities of higher education for the youth of the State. In order to accommodate the growth of students in higher education, and also to cross the target of 30% gross enrolment ratio (GER), we need to roughly double the number of institutions at all levels. The Government intervention would not be adequate to meet this benchmark in higher education. We need to enlist the participation of private sector in a major way. Haryana Private Universities Act, 2006 has been brought essentially to rope in private sector to supplement the initiative of Government in expanding the capacity in higher education and upscaling its standards. To achieve the objectives enshrined in the Act, proposal has been also formulated for setting up of Rishihood University, Sonipat. Hence, this Bill.

KANWAR PAL, Education Minister, Haryana.
