Parliamentary Debates. Parliament of India. Official Report. Wednesday 2nd May Part II - Proceedings Other Than Questions and Answers

As a matter of history it would be within the knowledge of many Mem- bers of the House that the idea of Pctridarshak or Visitor in Indian Uni- versities was not included in the first constitution of the oldest Univ,ersities in India; and it was not till the time of Lord Curzon that suspicions, perhaps in the minds of the then authorities of the official world so developed regard- ing the teaching [...] It is, therefore, of the utmost importance, in my opinion, not only that the University should know all the reasons and the complete text of the report and the working of the mind of the Visitor himself. [...] The last thing is: after the brackets and word '(Visitor)' the words the opinion of the Samsad, together with its directions on the' be inserted. " The opinion of the Samsad would be forwarded to the Visitor, and also the Samsad's own indication of the line that should be followed in the matter. [...] Ordinances. —Subject to the provisions of this Act and the Statutes, the Ordinances may provide for all or any of the following matters, namely:— (g) the conditions of residence of the students of the University and the levying of fees for resi- dence in Bhattlanas (Halls) and Chatrarasas (Hostels) and of other charges. [...] The House will see that even as regards the Acharya and Upacharya (The Chancellor and the Vice-Chancellor) the successors to the first Acharya and Upacharya will be elected, by the Samsad in the case of the Acharya, and in the case of the Upacharya the Board of appointment shall be as laid down in the statute.
