The Meghalaya Assembly has tabled the North East Adventist University Bill 2015, which will aim at establishing a university which provides quality education, training and research in the state.
Tabled by Meghalaya Education Minister Dr. R. C Laloo on Friday, the Bill reportedly covers the physical sciences, applied sciences, life sciences, health sciences, social sciences, bio-technology, information technology, engineering, management, commerce, communication, law, humanities, languages, performing arts and other allied areas.
The University will also look to impart distance education through information technology and communication such as multimedia, broadcasting, telecasting, online internet, portal, email and so on.
Another important feature of this Bill is that the university will be self-financing and will neither make a demand, nor shall be entitled to any grant in-aid or any other financial assistance from the state government.
