State university (India)

In India, state universities are run and funded by the state government of each of the states of India.

Following the adoption of the Constitution of India in 1950, education became a state responsibility. Following a constitutional change in 1976, it became a joint responsibility of the states and the central government.[1]

As of 23 August 2022, the UGC lists 456 state universities.[2]
