Decks have been cleared for establishing the Aryabhatt Knowledge University at the Bihar capital here, a minister said Wednesday. The varsity is named after a famous astronomer and mathematician of ancient India. Bihar Human Resource Development Minister Hari Narayan Singh Wednesday said that the state assembly has passed the Aryabhatt Knowledge University Bill, 2008 for setting up the university.
"After the assembly passed the bill Tuesday, work will soon start for setting up the university," Singh said.
He said that university is being established with the objective to regulate and add value to institutions imparting education on modern science like Information Technology, Nano-technology and Bio-technology.
After initiating a move to set up an international university in Nalanda, the Bihar government drew up a blueprint for setting up Aryabhatt Knowledge University last year.
