The Central Universities are autonomous institutions governed
under the provisions of their respective Acts and Statutes and
Ordinances framed there under. The Statutory bodies of the Central
Universities are competent to develop the criteria for starting a
college, provided the respective Act permits it. Section 6 (xiii) of
the Central Universities Act 2009, under which the Central University of
Kerala has been established, stipulates that the University has the
power to establish and maintain Colleges, Institutions and Halls.
Establishment and abolition of
Schools/Departments/Centres/Halls/Colleges/Institutions by the
University will be governed by the Statutes.
As far as the Central University of Kerala is concerned, the University
has taken possession of land for establishment of its campus only
recently and its first priority would be to establish its campus before
setting about establishment of colleges.
Such proposals have to be considered by the Statutory bodies of the
respective University in accordance with their Statutes and the Ministry
has no role to play in this regard.

Human Resource Development in a written reply to a question in the
Lok Sabha
