Mandi University मण्डी में द्वितीय राज्य विश्वविद्यालय की स्थापना

Thousands of students of 35 assembly constituencies of the state will get higher education near their doorstep
The State Government is paying special attention to the expansion of higher education under the visionary leadership of Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur. Along with the establishment of excellent educational institutions, the higher educational institutions are being endowed with modern facilities by making proper use of the grant received from the Central Government through RUSA. The establishment of a second state university in Mandi will prove to be an effective step in the direction of making higher education accessible to all the remote areas of the state.
After the formation of Himachal Pradesh, the first state university was established in the year 1970 in the capital Shimla. This university, performing excellently in the field of higher education, recognized Himachali talent on the national and international stage, and leaving from here the youth left their mark of their work in various fields.
Higher education in this university expanded progressively and the number of research scholars and students also increased. New colleges were opened in the state. In such a situation, the academic and administrative burden was increasing on the university and for a long time the need for another university in the public sector was felt in the state. The establishment of private universities greatly helped in the spread of higher education, but the need for another state university remained.
The present State Government, after assuming power under the leadership of Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur, took the first step towards providing higher education facilities to the youth of remote areas of the state near their homes by establishing a Cluster University at Mandi. Now expanding this university has been established as the second state university of the state. Sardar Patel University came into existence on April 1, 2022 and on June 28, 2022, the Chief Minister duly inaugurated it in Mandi.
Under Sardar Patel University, Mandi, 141 government and private colleges in five districts of Kangra, Chamba, Kullu, Lahaul-Spiti and Mandi will come up. Of these, 68 state colleges, 36 B.Ed. College and other colleges including 8 Sanskrit colleges. 160 colleges of remaining seven districts Shimla, Hamirpur, Bilaspur, Una, Sirmaur, Solan and Kinnaur will be under Himachal Pradesh University Shimla.
From the geographical point of view, youth from Pangi-Bharmaur of Chamba to remote areas of Lahaul-Spiti had to face many difficulties in reaching Shimla to get higher education. Parents were many times reluctant to send girls especially to such far away education. Now with the establishment of the university in Mandi, his journey has come down to less than half.
Himachal Pradesh University, Shimla will provide education to the youth of 33 assembly constituencies. At the same time, Sardar Patel University, Mandi will provide facilities of higher education to the students of 35 assembly constituencies of the state. The students of the colleges coming under this will not have to go far for their sporadic academic work. This will save their valuable time as well as money.
With the establishment of the second state university, the seats in various subjects of higher education have also increased. Youth forced to take education through distance education system due to limited seats or other reasons will now be able to take admission in regular classes for higher education. The process of filling various posts of teacher and non-teaching class is going on in this university, which has also provided employment opportunities to the highly educated youth of the state.
Initially, the admission process has been started in 11 subjects in Sardar Patel University Mandi. Among them M.A. History and Public Administration, MBA, MBE, MCA, M.Sc. Botany, Chemistry, Environmental Science, Physics, Zoology and M.Sc. Industrial Chemistry included.
Along with the establishment of new educational institutions, the state government is also paying special attention to strengthen the existing educational infrastructure. Rashtriya Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan (RUSA) has been implemented to improve the higher education system in the state. Under this, Rs 231 crore has been sanctioned by the Central Government. Out of this, Rs 176 crore has been released. 92 crores were approved by the Government of India in the year 2018-19. Of these, 90 percent is the central share and 10 percent is the state’s share. Out of this, infrastructure grant of Rs 20 crore has been provided to Himachal Pradesh University, infrastructure grant of Rs 52 crore to 26 colleges, Rs 12 crore to a new model degree college and Rs 8 crore to two other degree colleges for making model colleges.
Due to these efforts of the state government, the expected expansion in the field of higher education in Himachal has been ensured. Situated in the middle of the state and constantly climbing new steps in higher education, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Atal Medical Science and Research University, Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri Government Medical College, Ner Chowk in Mandi district, is now the second state university of the state. The cultural city is now emerging as the main center of higher education.
