Corrigendum

Imphal, February 19 2023:
The news caption 'RTI to UGC exposes seedy private varsities' published in the January 29, 2023 edition of this daily regarding 'Manipur International University (MIU) running without informing the University Grants Commission (UGC)', 'Manipur International University has set up many centres in different states' and 'conducts many questionable academic programmes including PhD' was found erroneously reported.
After cross-examination it came to light that MIU is duly recognised and listed by the UGC under Sections 2(f) and 22 of UGC Act, 1956 as private university in the state of Manipur and it has not opened any kind of centre outside the state.
MIU is an autonomous state private university established by government of Manipur through Manipur International University Act, 2018 (Manipur Act No 2 of 2019) .
We deeply regret the oversight and confusion caused to all concerned.
