Gandhinagar, 24 April 2023
Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel announced at the prize distribution ceremony at Rajkot’s Rajkumar College, which was built in 1870 only to educate dynasties, that today the government has done a great job of creating 103 universities providing world-class education in Gujarat .

The speech of the Chief Minister is not correct. Not a single university in Gujarat supported by the Gujarat government has ever been ranked 50th in India, not in the world.

What the Chief Minister is claiming is far from the truth. 10 years ago, Modi had invited administrators of 100 universities of the world to Vibrant in Gujarat. Even then the universities of Gujarat were made world class. But nothing happened. Today the government is misleading the people that the government has done a great job by making 103 world class education universities in Gujarat.

A total of 1300 universities in the world have been named in the QS World University Rankings 2022. Last year, QS released the list of top 1000 universities in the world. In which only 35 institutions from India got a place. 7 of these institutions have made it to this list of best universities in the world for the first time.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), this year also MIT has been ranked as the best university in the world. This Cambridge, USA based university has scored 100 out of 100 marks.

America’s Stanford University fell down a notch. Which was the second best university in the world last year. Cambridge University was exactly like that.

Switzerland-based Swiss Federal Institute of Technology has been ranked 8th. UK University UCL London got 9th place and USA’s University of Chicago got 10th place.

Good people are not allowed to work. Losses from political dignitaries, increased political interference. Politicians do politics. The appointment of Senate-Syndicate members is political. Global academic research is not valued. The tension between the teachers leads to scandals in result. The government does not give enough money. Donors are no longer donating.
