Mr. Satya Pal Singh further clarified that the HRD Ministry is not in plans to accord central university status to any of the state university. No proposals on the same are under consideration, he added. The central government decided not to convert any of the state universities into central universities due to a few problems including disaffiliation of affiliated colleges, adjustment of existing staff and legacy issues, he pointed.

Apart from setting up new universities, MHRD is also focusing on improving standards in higher learning institutes across the country.

The government wants to give more autonomy to the top performing institutes with fewer regulations. It will ensure the institutes to work consistently for achieving the desired outcomes and goals.
