Executive Council approves Centre for Odia Studies, dissent on govt grant reduction
THE Executive Council (EC) of the University of Delhi on Friday approved major financial proposals for the upcoming academic year, including a ₹1,651.42-crore budget estimate for 2026-27 in its meeting held on Friday.
The clearance, however, came with a formal dissent note from an EC member who raised concerns over the growing dependence on internal revenue and the consequent rise in student fees.
During the meeting, chaired by Vice-Chancellor Yogesh Singh, the EC reviewed the Finance Committee's recommendations from December 9 and passed both the revised budget for 2025-26 and the budget estimate for 2026-27. The revised estimate for 2025-26 saw a sharp cut, from ₹1,664.74 crore to ₹1,312.33 crore, primarily due to a reduction in government grants.
