Executive Council approves Centre for Odia Studies, dissent on govt grant reduction

- IFRAH MUFTI @ New Delhi

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.
