Telangana to get six new private universities, Chief Minister announces
Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao has announced that the state cabinet has approved the setting up of six private universities in the city of Hyderabad. He also announced that a ‘Pharma university’, which is the first of its kind in the world, will be part of these new campuses coming up in the city.
“Hyderabad has a lot of demand. In principle, the cabinet has approved the idea of these six universities coming up in the city. Their guidelines, rules and regulations, and application formats will be scrutinized and the process of setting up will happen,” KCR said.
The universities include Kaveri Agricultural University, Amity University, Guru Nanak University, MNR University (Pharma), a university by the National Institute of Construction Management and Research (NICMAR), and a university will be set up by the Confederation of Indian Industries (CII), the chief minister informed.
The Chief Minister also informed the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA) in Hyderabad will get a second runway. Considering the long-pending appeals of landowners on humanitarian grounds, the Cabinet has decided to revoke GO 111. This would pave way for more development in the 83 villages of seven mandals in Vikarabad and Ranga Reddy districts. The GO 111 was issued in 1996, when the city’s drinking water requirements were met through the twin reservoirs of Osman Sagar and Himayath Sagar to prevent pollution due to heavy construction activities and industrialization.
Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao said a committee headed Chief Secretary Somesh Kumar was constituted to look into the scrapping of GOMS 111. The Committee would involve officials from MAUD, forest and other related departments and would work as per the pollution control board guidelines.
