PATNA: The state government has dissolved the Bihar Inter-University
Board in order to grant complete autonomy to the state universities on
the pattern of Central universities.

The board had been set up to monitor development of universities and
regulate teaching and research in institutions of higher education in
the state.

Set up during the Emergency in 1975 by then CM Jagannath Mishra, the
board was also empowered to suggest ways for improving academic
standards, implement various examination reform measures and
development schemes of universities and to ensure uniform regulations
and statutes for all the universities.

But it was found that the board had miserably failed to preform the
tasks assigned to it. The Administrative Reforms Commission had also
recommended dissolution of the board.

The services of the employees of the board would be accommodated as
per provisions of the Bihar State Agricultural Marketing Board
(Dissolution) Bill, 2006.
