Bhubaneswar: The academic sessions of the newly-established state universities in Kalahandi and Balangir will start from June 1, 2020.

According to notifications issued by the Odisha government, the functioning of the two new universities will reduce the burden on Sambalpur university, which has 240-odd universities affiliated to it.

The territorial jurisdiction of Sambalpur University has accordingly been altered, excluding the revenue districts of Kalahandi and Nuapada districts. These are now under the Kalahandi university. The new affiliations will come into effect from June 1, 2020.

Similarly, colleges under the revenue districts of Balangir and Sonepur has been pulled out from the jurisdiction of Sambalpur University and included under the Rajendra University in Balangir.

The exercise has been carried out under powers conferred by Section 1 and 2 of the Odisha Universities Act, 1989, the notifications said.

The state government had in March announced establishment of new universities by upgrading two existing colleges. The Bhawanipatna Autonomous College became the Kalahandi University and Rajendra Autonomous College in Balangir was upgraded into Balangir university.
