To bridge the gap of adequate facilities, provide need-based higher education to differently abled
youth, and owing to the fact that differently abled children may not excel at par with general

institute a University, which shall become a centre of excellence, for ensuring higher education to
children with disabilities in an accessible and barrier-free environment suitable for them;
University Campus is coming-up with varied facilities, viz. Post-Office, Bank, Electricity SubStation, Students Hostel (Separately for Boys’ & Girls’), Guest House, Staff Quarters, Placement
Cell, RTI Cell, Disability Cell, Bus Services etc.;

which are spelt-out and enshrined in the University Act and Statute;
The University shall reserve not less than fifty per cent seats for children with disabilities in all
the courses and out of this fifty percent, half of such seats shall be reserved for visually
