Central Gujarat University to be created for 150 colleges of Vadodara, Kheda, Anand, Godhra and Dahod districts

The state government is soon going to set up a university for central Gujarat.

The new university will have 150 colleges of Vadodara, Kheda, Anand, Godhra and Dahod districts. This will effectively mean that GU will be limited to Gandhinagar and Ahmedabad districts alone.

This change, however, will not effect Vadodara's MS University and SP University of Vallbhvidyanagar. The two will retain the status of university.

Parimal Trivedi, V-C of GU, said, "The final draft of a bill for central Gujarat university is ready and is likely to come up in the next session of the state Assembly. GU was quite over-burdened and creation of this new university will improve administration and we shall be able to give necessary emphasis on quality of education."
