UP govt clears proposals for 3 private varsities, UK scholarship scheme, municipal ad policy reform
Lucknow, The Uttar Pradesh Cabinet on Thursday approved a series of proposals spanning higher education, international scholarships and urban governance reforms, paving the way for new private universities, a Chevening-style UK collaboration, and long-term municipal advertisement regulation. UP govt clears proposals for 3 private varsities, UK scholarship scheme, municipal ad policy reform The decisions of the Cabinet, chaired by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, were announced by Finance Minister Suresh Khanna along with his cabinet colleagues Rakesh Sachan and Yogendra Upadhyay during a press conference here. According to the decisions, the Cabinet granted an intent letter to Lala Fateh Chand Charitable Trust, Muzaffarnagar, for the establishment of Vedanta University in Muzaffarnagar under the Uttar Pradesh Private Universities Act, 2019. The proposed university will be set up on 23.3349 acres of land in village Hussainpur Bopada, tehsil Khatauli, within the Muzaffarnagar Development Authority limits. The high-level committee, headed by the chief secretary, had recommended the issuance of the letter of intent in its meeting held on December 19, 2024. In a similar move, the Cabinet also cleared the establishment of KD University in Mathura under the same private universities framework. The approval was based on provisions under the Uttar Pradesh Private Universities Act, 2019, which regulates and facilitates the establishment and incorporation of private universities across the state. The Cabinet further approved the setting up of Bodhisattva University in Barabanki. The sponsoring body, Bodhisattva Charitable Trust, Lucknow, has earmarked 25.31 acres of land in Gadia village, pargana Deva, tehsil Nawabganj of Barabanki district. A letter of intent had earlier been issued to the trust on February 9, 2024. The Cabinet has now cleared the promulgation of the "Uttar Pradesh Private Universities Ordinance, 2025" to officially include the new university under the Act and issue it the operational licence. In a landmark collaboration, the Cabinet gave its approval for launching the "Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee-Chevening Uttar Pradesh Government Scholarship Scheme," in partnership with the UK's Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office . The scheme aims to sponsor five meritorious students from Uttar Pradesh each year to pursue a one-year master's degree in the UK at recognised institutions. It will cover tuition, examination and research fees, a living allowance, and one return economy-class airfare. The program will run from academic year 2025-26 through 2027-28. For each selected student, the state government will bear approximately 19,800 pounds , while the remaining scholarship amount - ranging between 38,048 pounds and 42,076 pounds per student - will be provided by the FCDO. In another major decision, the Cabinet approved an amendment to Section 305 of the Uttar Pradesh Municipal Corporation Act, 1959, related to permissions and renewal durations for aerial signage and advertisements. The amendment proposes increasing the validity period for advertising licenses from two years to 15 years. The new rule, to be implemented through the Uttar Pradesh Municipal Corporation Rules, 2025, is expected to attract larger investments and innovations in the urban advertising sector. It will also reduce the frequency of tender processes and offer greater revenue stability for municipal corporations across the state. Following Cabinet approval, the Uttar Pradesh Municipal Corporation Ordinance, 2025, will be promulgated to formalize this change. The Cabinet also approved a proposal to reintroduce a bill in the upcoming session of the State Legislature to amend the King George's Medical University , Uttar Pradesh Act, 2002. The amendment seeks to insert Section 24, providing for the nomination of one senior-most professor each from the Scheduled Castes or Scheduled Tribes and from the Other Backward Classes to the university's executive council. The nominations will be made by the state government on a rotational basis in consultation with the Vice-Chancellor.

Uttar Pradesh govt proposes new law to decriminalise 293 minor offences
In a bid to create an industry-friendly atmosphere and remove irritants in the ease of doing business, the Uttar Pradesh government proposes to enact a new law to decriminalise 293 minor offences and replace the provisions for imprisonment with civic penalties The state government is working on bringing the new law on the pattern of the Jan Vishwas Adhiniyam that the Centre enacted in 2023, those aware of the development said. (REPRESENTATIVE IMAGE) Those aware of the development said the 293 provisions proposed to be decriminalised are part of nearly 15-20 acts and the proposed law would ensure that the penalties are commensurate with the seriousness of the crime. The Uttar Pradesh Revenue Code, the laws for urban local bodies that include the municipal corporations, the Fire Services Act, the Tree Protection Act, labour laws and the laws for industry have provisions for imprisonment for minor offences. The proposed new law will decriminalise them. Under the proposed new law, there will be provisions for compounding of minor offences. The provisions for imprisonment up to about six months will be replaced by a fine of a few thousand of rupees or to a lakh or so. 'We propose to enact a new law to decriminalise 293 of 294 provisions of law as part of the state government's efforts to provide an industry-friendly atmosphere and relax provisions for the ease of doing business. No relaxation will be made in the provisions for imprisonment if the offence causes health hazards or directly affects human lives,' said a senior officer of the state government. The state government is working on bringing the new law on the pattern of the Jan Vishwas Adhiniyam that the Centre enacted in 2023, those aware of the development said. Chief minister Yogi Adityanath has time and again asked the officers to remove irritants in the ease of doing business. Chief secretary SP Goyal also chaired a meeting convened on Tuesday to review the progress under the flagship Compliance and Reduction and Deregulation 2025 initiative. Efforts to ease the regulations and create an industry-friendly ecosystem are part of this initiative. A senior officer said the draft of the new law is being finalised and once approved by the state cabinet, the proposed legislation may be moved in the monsoon session of the state legislature commencing on August 11.
