With a view to set up another technical university in Noida, the Uttar Pradesh Government today tabled a Bill to amend the UP Technical University Act 2000 in the Vidhan Sabha .
As per the amendment Bill, the existing UP Technical University, located in this city, has 589 colleges and institutes under it. To reduce this burden the Bill proposes to amend the existing act to pave the way to set up another technical university in western Uttar Pradesh.
The Bill also proposes to rename the Lucknow Technical University as Gautam Buddha University and the proposed one at Noida as Mahamaya Technical University.
