Govt gives a nod to Adani Group for setting up university in Ahmedabad

The Adani Group’s plan to set up a private university has been approved by the Gujarat Government after the state assembly collectively passed a bill seeking establishment of the university under the Gujarat State Private Universities Act, 2009.

The group’s application for setting up a private university was submitted through the Adani Institute of Education and Research (AIER). Adani University will start offering programmes from Academic Year 2022 in Ahmedabad.

The application was scrutinised by an empowered committee nominated by the Gujarat State Education Department. Based on the committee's recommendations, the Government of Gujarat brought it for consideration in the State Assembly.

Dr Priti G. Adani, Chairperson, Adani Foundation and Trustee, AIER, said, “At Adani University, we aim to create a model that aligns with industry imperatives. We want to build the right talent set and fulfil the competency gap by imparting the right knowledge, right skills, and the right attitude and make the learners feel complete as a professional and as a person and continue contributing to nation-building.”

She added, “A knowledge-based ecosystem at Adani University will encourage transformative research that focuses on addressing real-world problems creating impact. We want to build a platform to contribute to increasing productivity, achieve social and national integration, accelerate the process of modernization, and cultivate social, moral, and spiritual values.”
