With the Governor’s assent to the State government’s ordinance, decks have been cleared for the establishment of the State’s first sports university. As per the amended ordinance, the Governor’s office will nominate one member of the upcoming university’s executive council. Besides, it is almost imminent that a sportsperson of international repute will be appointed its vice-chancellor.
Notably, the sports university bill was passed in the State Assembly during its monsoon session held in August. It was then sent to the Governor for his nod. But as it did not mention a nominated member of the executive council of the upcoming university and did not have any clear stipulation about the appointment of its VC, the bill was returned by the Governor sans assent.
