Shimla: The state government has decided in
principle not to allow more private universities to set up their premises in districts where they already exist or are in the process of coming up.

districts where private Universities have already been set up
or are in the process of being set up," a senior government
official said.
The BJP government in the state has been under pressure
from various quarters including the party's student wing the
ABVP not to encourage mushrooming of private universities.
