India's first private AI-Augmented multidisciplinary university sets up in UP's Unnao
He said the university aligns with India's broader AI mission and national initiatives such as Startup India, and will help elevate the state's standing on both national and global fronts.
In his address, he described Unnao as a land steeped in literature, culture, and history, blessed by the Ganga and home to icons of India's freedom struggle and literary renaissance. He said that the technological leap, with the establishment of the new campus of Chandigarh University, is inspired by PM Narendra Modi's vision.
As per the statement, 'The university, he said, will not only be a hub of modern education but will also bridge India's ancient knowledge systems with cutting-edge technical learning, aligning with the National Education Policy's multidisciplinary spirit to foster research, innovation, and holistic growth.'
Adityanath said that one of the biggest challenges facing educational institutions has been their isolated functioning — like islands, with limited outreach. Students often remained unaware of key government schemes meant for their benefit, hindering timely career planning.
He asserted that academic institutions must evolve into platforms for career guidance, life building, and industry-oriented skill development, and not only impart education.
The chief minister urged students to move forward with discipline, under the guidance of teachers, and in alignment with societal expectations. He stressed that only a cultured and disciplined youth can build a strong India. Adityanath also highlighted that, over the past eight years, the state has built a safe and law-abiding environment, a crucial factor in attracting investment.

BDU counting on NAAC reforms for easier re-accreditation
Trichy: Almost 15 months after its accreditation by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) expired, Bharathidasan University is yet to apply for re-accreditation, and is now placing its bets on the upcoming reforms by the council which is expected to cut short the laborious re-accreditation process. BDU's third accreditation cycle — through which it received an A+ in April 2019 — expired in Mar 2024. Thereafter, the university did not apply for the fourth cycle of accreditation, drawing flak from academicians who have warned that the university risks losing eligibility to run its distance education programmes. Ineligibility for special grants and central schemes are the other disadvantages. "The license for the distance education programmes expires in February and requires renewal from the Distance Education Bureau (DEB). Without NAAC accreditation, the university cannot apply for it, and it risks losing its financial backbone," said a university source. "We are in the final stages of filing the self study report (SSR). It's a laborious task involving a lot of work, and with our limited resources, manpower, and administrative hurdles, the university is still working to complete it. The new process being planned by NAAC is expected to support our case better," said a senior university official. Officials of NAAC, an autonomous body under the University Grants Commission (UGC), said that among the many upcoming reforms is the increased digitisation of the accreditation process, eliminating the need for field inspections as much as possible. "For Level-1 and Level-2 institutions, it will be made fully online. For Level-3 institutions, it will follow a hybrid model — online processing with field visits by the NAAC team," said Anil Sahasrabudhe, chairman of NAAC's executive council. Sources said the announcement could be made on July 29 by the Union ministry, coinciding with the fifth anniversary of National Education Policy (NEP). "Even recently, BDU did not feature in the ANRF Prime Minister's Professorship scheme for superannuated faculty or scientists. The reasons could be multiple — a few other universities in Tamil Nadu also didn't feature — but such omissions are likely to happen more often if there's no NAAC accreditation," said a senior retired professor. Academicians also criticised the university for relying on reforms that are yet to be officially announced.
