NAGALAND UNIVERSITY ACT, 1989
35 of 1989
20th October, 1989
The need to have a separate University for the State of Nagaland has been felt for sometime. The higher education needs of the State of Nagaland are presently being served by the North-Eastern Hill University which has jurisdiction over the State.
However, this arrangement has not been able to meet the expectations of the People of Nagaland. The State Government has been continuously pressing for a separate University. A decision was taken, in principle in September, 1987 to establish a Central University in the State of Nagaland to meet the special needs of the State.
2. The Nagaland University will be a teaching-cum-affiliating University with jurisdiction over the entire State with headquarters ofLumami. In addition to offering under-graduate and post-graduate programmes in Humanities and Sicences, the University would focus its attention on subjects related to the development and manpower requirements of the State.
3. With the establishment of the Nagaland University, the jurisdiction of the North-Eastern Hill University shall cease over the State of Nagaland.
4. It is hoped that the establishment of a Central University in Nagaland would meet the aspirations and needs of the people of the State.
5. The Bill seeks to achieve the above objectives. -Gaz. of Ind., 18-8-1989, Pt.. II, S. 2, Ext" p. 40 (No. 37).
