Bengaluru: Karnataka Legislative Assembly today passed by voice vote a bill aimed at trifurcation of Bangalore University.
The Karnataka state Universities (Amendment) bill, 2015 that was tabled in the House during the first phase of the current monsson session in Belagavi was presented by Higher Education and Tourism Minister R V Deshpande.
The bill considers it necessary to amend the Karnataka State Universities Act, 2000 (Karnataka Act 29 of 2001) to bring reforms in the governance and administration of the Bangalore University and improve academic quality by trifurcating it.
According to the bill, 'The Bangalore University' with campus at Gnanabharathi is having jurisdiction over the areas of several legislative assembly constituencies in Bengaluru urban, rural and Ramanagara district.
Another new university called Bangalore North University would be established as an affiliating university with headquarters at Jangamkote (Sidalagahatta taluk) (temporary camp office at Kolar PG Centre) with territorial jurisdiction of seventeen constituencies in Bengaluru Urban, and Rural, Chikkaballapur, and Kolar districts.
Participating in the debate, C T Ravi (BJP) said that the joint select committee should be constituted to study about dividing Bangalore University.
Replying to this, Mr Deshpande said having separate University for Kolar and Chikkaballapura is not a viable option.
