South Asian University may take shape in India soon

It is a proposal that proponents of better relations in South Asia would really cheer for. The idea of students from India, Pakistan and the other Saarc countries studying and living under the same roof may sound fanciful at first hearing, but it could very soon turn into a reality For, the concerned governments are in an advanced stage of hammering out the details of setting up a South Asian University. And, in fact, the university could be located right here in India, with the ministry of external affairs making a concerted pitch for it. However, a final decision on the South Asian University is likely to be taken in March, ahead of the Saarc summit to be hosted by India in April. The university is being seen by New Delhi as a way of enhancing regional cooperation and greater integration among the Saarc countries. The idea of the proposed university was mooted by PM Manmohan Singh at the Saarc summit last year. Gowher Rizvi, director of Ash Institution of Democratic Governance and Innovations at Harvard University, was entrusted with the task of preparing a concept note on the university. After intense discussions with stakeholders across the seven countries, it has been proposed that the South Asian University should be set up as a non-profit PPP venture. This seems like an ideal middle-of-the-road option, given the limitations of both state-funded and for-profit private universities.

It has been suggested that while all the governments will have to contribute for the initial funding — primarily capital costs to set up the residential university — once operational, governments will not be required to provide for annual subsidies and grants to the university. To ensure that the university is autonomous and accountable to its board of governors and trustees, the burden of ensuring that the institution is financially viable will rest with the university leadership. While a needs-blindadmission policy and a rational fee structure has been suggested, there are issues that require greater consideration, such as the legal framework for the university. The Central European University (Budapest) and the University of Central Asia (Kyrgyzstan) have been recommend as models for a workable legal framework for the varsity.
