The Vasundhara Raje government Tuesday scrapped Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar Law University, which was announced by the Congress government in 2013, but had failed to take off after the Raje-led BJP government came to power later that year.
“In a cabinet decision, we have decided to close the Bhimrao Ambedkar Law University which was announced by the previous Congress regime in the year 2012-13. It could not move beyond the files; no land was allotted, no step was taken towards admission and neither were any colleges affiliated with it. Only, vice-chancellor U C Sankhla was appointed,” Cabinet Minister Rajendra Rathore said Tuesday.

“Instead, as per the CM’s wish, the Ambedkar Peeth in Jaipur will be revived and be made into a Centre of Excellence, where… we will run courses in law and other fields,” he added.
The state cabinet also decided to constitute Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Vitran Vitt Nigam Limited with an aim to improve the financial condition of the discoms.
