2. Establishment of Central Tribal University in the State of Telangana will cater to the

regional aspirations for years to come. It will increase access and quality of higher education

and facilitate and promote higher education and research facilities for the people of the State.

It will also promote advanced knowledge by providing instructional and research facilities in

tribal art, culture and customs and advancement in technology to the tribal population of

India. Apart from bringing focus to tribal education, the Central Tribal University shall carry

out all educational and other activities like any other Central University. Moreover, the

establishment of a Central Tribal University in the State of Telangana is obligatory under the
