Which of the following are Central Universities? 1. Pondicherry University 2. Vishwa Bharati 3. H.N.B. Garhwal University 4. Kurukshetra University Select the correct answer from the code given below: Codes:
1, 2 and 3
The test for a Central University is straightforward: it must be established or incorporated by an Act of Parliament and funded by the Union Government, with the President of India as its Visitor. A university created by a state legislature is a State University, however old or distinguished it may be.
Pondicherry University is a Central University, established by an Act of Parliament in 1985 for the Union Territory of Puducherry.
Vishwa Bharati is a Central University. Founded by Rabindranath Tagore at Santiniketan, it was declared a Central University by an Act of Parliament in 1951 and holds the distinctive position of having the Prime Minister of India as its Chancellor.
H.N.B. Garhwal University is a Central University. Established as a state university in 1973, it was converted to Central University status by an Act of Parliament in 2009, and is named after the environmentalist Hemvati Nandan Bahuguna.
Kurukshetra University is not a Central University. It was set up in 1956 by an Act of the Haryana state legislature and remains a State University, funded and governed by the state. This is the statement that decides the question.
Since items 1, 2 and 3 are Central Universities and item 4 is not, the first code applies. Notice that every other code includes Kurukshetra, so identifying that single item correctly is enough to settle the answer without checking the rest.
Hence the Central Universities among those listed are 1, 2 and 3.
