Jesuit schools in India apply for central university status

Jesuits in India are working on a plan to bring their institutions of higher education under one roof. They have applied to the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) to grant "Central University status" to the 60+ colleges that the Society of Jesus runs in India.

"The central university status will provide us a single-window functioning capability wherein, all the institutes running under the Society of Jesus will work under an umbrella management. We have applied for the status and have been conducting meetings with the ministry to follow it up," said Vincent Braganza SJ, co-ordinator of Jesuit Educational Association for Higher Education, a wing of SJ, which is handling the proposal initiatives.
