16 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA EXTRAORDINARY [PART IIReasons for the enactment
Under the existing Uttar Pradesh Acts relating to Universities, the Selection Committee fnr appointment of a Registrar consists of the Vice-Chancellor and a nominee of the Chancellor and also the Chairman of the State Public- Service Commission or a member thereof nominated by the Chairman. The present Chairman of the State Public Service Commission has taken the view that the associ- ation of the Chairman or any member of the Commission with any Selection Committee is constitutionally not proper, and he has accordingly declined to sit himself or to nominate a member of the Commission on the Committee. The selection of Registrar in two Universities is pending and because of the stalemate thus created the appointments cannot be mude. It is not in the interest of the proper administration of the Universities to keep the key post of Registrar unfilled for any len.t\h of time, and accordingly it is proposed to modify the constitul' >n of the Selection Committee.
2. Section 5 of tiic Gorakhpur University Act, 1956, bars the establishment of any new college which is not a technological or engineering college within a radius of ten miles from the Convocation Hall of the Gorakhpur University. It also bars the University from granting affiliation to any college for teaching for post-graduate degree. This provision has proved to bo an obstacle in the expansion of higher education in the 14 Eastern Districts of Uttar Pradesh and is accordingly proposed to be omitted.
3. The measure suggested is intended to give effect to these pro- posals.
]
4. The Committee constituted under the proviso to sub-section (2) of section 3 of the Uttar Pradesh State Legislature (Delegation of Powers) Act, 1968 (7 of 1968), has been consulted before the enact- ment of this measure as a President's Act.
