Jammu, Apr 04: Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Saturday described the passage of the Jammu and Kashmir Private Universities Bill as a milestone moment for the youth of the Union Territory, congratulating Minister for Education Sakeena Itoo and all stakeholders.

"The Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly has passed the Private Universities Bill today, marking a significant step towards shaping a brighter future for our youth," the Chief Minister said.

The Assembly passed the Jammu and Kashmir Private Universities Bill, 2026 (L.A. Bill No. 08 of 2026) on the concluding day of the Budget Session.

Highlighting the broader vision behind the legislation, Omar Abdullah said the Bill will open new avenues for quality higher education within the Union Territory, significantly reduce the need for students to move outside for studies, and attract reputed institutions to establish campuses in Jammu and Kashmir.

He said the move reflects the government's commitment to strengthening academic infrastructure, fostering innovation, and creating a vibrant ecosystem for learning and research, adding that the passage of the Bill marks a decisive step towards positioning Jammu and Kashmir as an emerging hub of higher education and academic excellence.

Earlier, the bill was moved for consideration and passing by Minister for Education Sakeena Itoo. The Speaker later put the Bill to a voice vote, following which it was passed by the House.
