Aizawl: The Mizoram cabinet on Monday approved the establishment of a state run university. As of now, the state solely relies on Mizoram University (MZU), which operates under the purview of the Central government.
The decision was made during a crucial meeting of the council of ministers, presided over by Chief Minister Zoramthanga.
The move comes as a response to the National Education Policy’s call for the establishment of state universities across the country. With the aim of strengthening higher education within the state, the cabinet reached a consensus on creating an independent state university.
During the meeting, several other crucial proposals were also approved. Among them were the amendment of the Mizoram Rights of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Rules of 2011, and the proposal for establishing the Directorate of Nursing.
The council of ministers approved the amendment proposal for the Mizoram State Medical Rules of 2013, the implementation of the Pharmacy Practice Regulations, the draft rules of Zoram Medical College (ZMC), and the restructuring of Mizoram Health Services, taking into account the grievances of the Mizoram Government Doctor Association.
