Lucknow, 29

Oct (HS): The Uttar Pradesh government, led by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath,

has taken another landmark decision to strengthen the quality and accessibility

of higher education in the state. Kashi Naresh Government Post Graduate

College, Gyanpur, Bhadohi (Sant Ravidas Nagar) will be established as Kashi

Naresh University, Bhadohi.

Under this

decision, the Uttar Pradesh State University Act, 1973, will be amended. To

this end, the state government has proposed promulgating the Uttar Pradesh

State University (Amendment) Ordinance, 2025. Necessary changes will be made to

Section 4, Section 50, Section 52, and the schedule of the amendment act to

enable the formal establishment of the proposed university. Higher Education

Minister Yogendra Upadhyay stated that the state government's objective is to

provide students from rural and backward areas with opportunities for higher

education within their own districts, preventing them from migrating to

metropolitan cities. The establishment of Kashi Naresh University, Bhadohi,

will not only provide high-quality education to students in the district but

will also provide a new direction to educational activities throughout the

Purvanchal region.

He said that

the Uttar Pradesh government has already taken several steps to ensure quality,

employment-oriented, and accessible higher education in the state. By

establishing new universities, increasing autonomy, and emphasizing

research-oriented education, the government has given the state a new identity

in the field of higher education. The establishment of Kashi Naresh University

will be another powerful chapter in this series.
