Section 15 of BHU Act, 1915 : Section 15: Maintenance And Admission To Privileges Of Colleges

Explanation using Example

Imagine a situation where the Central Government issues a notification stating that from the 1st of July, the Central Hindu College in Banaras is to be considered a college maintained by the Banaras Hindu University (BHU). Following this notification, the college is integrated into the university system, and students of the Central Hindu College gain access to the resources and facilities of BHU. Additionally, BHU decides to establish a new research center for advanced studies in renewable energy within 15 miles of the main campus. This center is founded to promote research and development in the field and is maintained by the university as per the provisions of Section 15(1) and (1A) of the BHU Act.

Furthermore, an existing private high school located 10 miles from the main temple of BHU seeks affiliation with the university to enhance its academic standards. After a thorough evaluation, the Academic Council of BHU approves the proposal, and with the Visitor's sanction, the high school is granted certain privileges of the university, such as access to the BHU library system and participation in inter-collegiate sports. This affiliation is done in accordance with Section 15(2) of the Act but is subject to the conditions set by the university's Statutes and Ordinances.
