The "Tribhuvan" Sahkari University Act, 2025 is a significant legislative measure enacted to establish the "Tribhuvan" Sahkari University by transforming the Institute of Rural Management Anand (IRMA) into a national institution of importance. This Act aims to standardize and enhance cooperative education, training, and research across India, addressing the growing demand for skilled manpower in the cooperative sector. It emphasizes inclusivity, innovation, and collaboration with national and international institutions to promote excellence in cooperative studies. The Act also ensures the autonomy of IRMA as a "Centre of Excellence" while integrating it into the broader framework of the University. By fostering education and capacity-building in cooperatives, this legislation strengthens the cooperative movement and supports India's vision of "Sahkar Se Samriddhi" (Prosperity through Cooperation).
Importance in the Legal System: The Act provides a structured legal framework for the establishment and functioning of the University, ensuring accountability, transparency, and adherence to national educational standards. It empowers the University to grant degrees, affiliate institutes, and conduct research, thereby playing a pivotal role in shaping the future of cooperative education in India.
