The Central Government has introduced the Central Universities (Amendment) Bill, 2021 in Lok Sabha on 5th August, 2021. At present, there is no Central University in the Union territory of Ladakh. Therefore, the Government has decided to establish a new Central University in the Union territory of Ladakh to ensure increase in accessibility and quality of higher education and to facilitate and promote avenues of higher education and research for the people of the Union territory of Ladakh. This shall also cater to the regional aspirations for years to come.
