Dharmendra Pradhan writes Odisha CM to rectify Odisha Universities Act

Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has written a letter to Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Mjahi seeking necessary changes in the Odisha Universities (Amendment) Act, 2020 introduced by the previous BJD government.

In his letter, Union Minister urged the Chief Minister to rectify the discrepancies in the Odisha Universities (Amendment) Act, 2020. He also mentioned that the state government had enacted the law with a political motive. So, the universities have lost their importance. It is also in conflict with the UGC guidelines.

This letter from the Union Education Minister has triggered a political slugfest with the BJD warning that the BJP is inviting corruption in the education system as witnessed in other states.
