Guv reserves Kalaignar University Bill for Prez's Consideration
The New Indian Express Madurai
|August 06, 2025
GOVERNOR RN Ravi has reserved the Kalaignar University Bill, passed by the legislative assembly to form a new university in Kumbakonam with the chief minister as chancellor, for the President's consideration.
"The governor has not given immediate assent to the bill but has instead, referred it to the President for a decision. This will further delay the process of formation of the university as we have to wait for the President's reply," said a higher education official. The President can either give assent, withhold assent, or return the bill for reconsideration.
