The Ministry of Education has started a nationwide public consultation on the proposed University Townships Initiative, seeking suggestions from students, faculty members, researchers, education administrators, alumni and industry representatives.

The consultation will be carried out via a survey questionnaire on the MyGov portal to gather opinions that may assist the government in formulating the proposed scheme.

The scheme has been proposed in the Union Budget 2026-27, wherein the government intends to assist State Governments in creating University Townships in five places located adjacent to major industrial or logistics corridors.
