The Union Budget 2026-27 announced that the Government of India will support states, through a challenge-based approach, in establishing five University Townships near major industrial and logistics corridors. The proposed academic zones will bring together multiple universities, colleges, research institutions, skill development centres, and residential complexes.
Through the consultation, the government is seeking inputs to help formulate the scheme and understand the aspirations, priorities, and expectations of stakeholders.
