Establishing a new university in every district is the top priority of the state government. The aim is to ensure students do not have to travel long distances for higher education, the Chief Minister said.
Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar has said that Universities should not become institutions that award only degrees to students. They should also be concerned about the placements of students. Along with providing quality education, the University should also focus on imparting moral education to the students so that the feeling of patriotism is inculcated in them.
