STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS

The ten Bills to amend certain University Laws, which were re-passed by the Tamil Nadu Legislative

Assembly based on the resolution moved by the Hon’ble Chief Minister on the 18th November 2023 were

deemed to have received the assent of the Hon’ble Governor on the 18th November 2023, pursuant to the

Judgement of the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India, made under Article 142 of the Constitution of India in Writ

Petition (Civil) No. 1239 of 2023 titled “The State of Tamil Nadu Vs The Governor of Tamil Nadu & Another,”

dated the 8th April 2025.

In the said State University Laws, the Government have been empowered to appoint and remove the

Vice-Chancellor of 18 Universities. On the same lines the Government have decided to empower themselves

to appoint and remove the Vice-Chancellor of the Tamil Nadu Physical Education and Sports University.

Further, in tune with the provisions of section 3 of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016

(Central Act 49 of 2016) which prohibits discrimination on the ground of disability, certain University Laws

were already amended omitting the disqualification of Deaf-mute person from being elected or nominated or

continued as a member of any of the authorities of the Universities. It is, therefore, decided to remove the

above disqualification for being a member of the authority of the above said University.

Further, it is essential to have the Finance Secretary as a Member of the Syndicate of this University

as in other State Universities. Hence, it is proposed to include the Secretary to Government in-charge of

Finance department as an ex-officio member of the Syndicate of the authority of the above said University.

2. The Government have, therefore, decided to amend the Tamil Nadu Physical Education and Sports

University Act, 2004 (Tamil Nadu Act 9 of 2005) suitably for the above said purposes.

3. The Bill seeks to give effect to the above decision.

Deputy Chief Minister.
