New Aligarh university to leave Agra University poorer by 400 colleges and Rs 100 crores
India Today
The new state university coming up in Aligarh is being funded from the emergency funds of the self-financing Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar University, Agra, besides carving up its jurisdiction by taking away 400 colleges.
In a bid to lure the Hindu voters of the Aligarh division towards the party right before the state goes into assembly polls, the UP government has decided to open a new state university in Aligarh, named after the local Jat chieftain and freedom fighter Raja Mahendra Pratap Singh, who reputedly defeated former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee in the 1957 Lok Sabha elections from the Mathura constituency, despite being an independent candidate. The new university, whose foundation stone will be laid by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on September 14, upon his Aligarh visit, will be created by carving up the jurisdictional area of the existing Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar University, Agra, taking away about 395 colleges of Aligarh, Hathras, Kasganj, and Etah districts to the new university.
