The Karnataka Legislative Assembly on Tuesday passed a bill to rename Bengaluru City University as Dr Manmohan Singh Bengaluru City University.
As per the bill, the amendment to the Karnataka State Universities Act, 2000, (Karnataka Act 29 of 2001) was deemed necessary to honour the legacy of Manmohan Singh — an esteemed economist, academician, bureaucrat, and statesman who spearheaded economic reforms in the nation and served as Prime Minister for two successive terms.
