Education Inflation
The rising costs of higher education in India have become a significant barrier for many students, threatening to undermine the country’s aspirations for inclusive growth and development.
Going out of the way, the Haryana Government has decided to grant change of land use (CLU) permission for the setting up of DAV Women University in Yamunanagar.
An official spokesperson said the request for grant of CLU made by DAV managing Committee had earlier been rejected by the state government in March 2013.
An official spokesman said that Chief Minister, Manohar Lal Khattar has approved a proposal in this regard in order to promote girl’s education in the state and ensure that they need not to travel far to get quality education.
