Bhubaneswar, Nov 23: The Odisha Cabinet chaired by Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi on Saturday approved the proposal of amendment to the Odisha Universities Act, 1989.

The amendment aims to address critical challenges faced by universities, while enhancing the overall academic excellence, governance and administrative efficiency of the universities.

Key aspects of the amendment focus on improving the recruitment process, empowering universities with more autonomy allowing them to make decisions independently while maintaining accountability and involving academic professionals in crucial decision-making processes, reintroduction of Senate, formation of building and works committee, finance committee etc.

By amending the Act, the state government aims to streamline the recruitment process and eliminate the stagnation caused in the recruitment of the teachers by court cases, according to a statement.

The changes are designed to create a more transparent and time-bound procedure for appointments, ensuring that vacancies are filled promptly.

The amendment has also incorporated the NEP’s transformative aspects such as the emphasis on multidisciplinary education, skill development, and enhanced access through distance learning, skill development for employability etc.

The Cabinet also approved a proposal for amendment in two sections of Industrial Policy Resolution (IPR) 2015. This will enable eligible investors to furnish their claim for incentives in time for which they are entitled to and to make the IPR in line with sectoral policies for smooth administration of incentives.
