The legislative council on Monday passed the bill to facilitate formation of DVG Bangalore University. Over 300 colleges affiliated to BU will now also be affiliated to the new university, in Hoskote on the outskirts of Bangalore. Private and government colleges in Bangalore Rural district, Chikballapur, Kolar and two taluks of Bangalore north division and Bangalore east will come under the jurisdiction of new university.
Higher education minister C T Ravi said the administration office of the new university would function from Central College campus in Bangalore, until a fullfledged campus is established at Hoskote.
Many members of the opposition demanded that affiliations of existing colleges in Bangalore limits not be transferred to the new university. JD(S) member Marithibbe Gowda said: “Existing colleges in Bangalore urban district should continue to be affiliated with BU. Affiliation of these colleges to new university can cause a lot inconvenience to students.”
Responding to such apprehensions, Ravi said: “Boundaries of new university have been identified by a committee of experts after many rounds of deliberation. The main objective of opening a new university is to lessen the burden of BU and if proposed DVG university does not get affiliation 300-odd colleges administration burden on BU will continue to remain.”
The minister said around 360 colleges will be affiliated to the new university, once it is operational, and 314 colleges to Bangalore University.
Another member Krishna Bhat advised the government to drop the word ‘Bangalore’ from DVG Bangalore University as it could lead to confusion among students seeking admission. “We already have an University named BU. It should not get repeated again, as it may lead to confusion,” he said.
Quashing fears of not getting financial allocations, Ravi said the government would take loans from institution to provide infrastructure. He said plans were on to make Central College an autonomous institution on par with national institutes.
