Yoga guru Ramdev today announced his plans to set up a university in Haryana, which will be established and controlled under his Haridwar-based Patanjali Yogpeeth.
The BJP government in Haryana today decided to set up an AYUSH university at Kurukshetra, Ramdev also informed that he too plans to set up another university in the state, without elaborating about it.
"The government will set up this university (at Kurukshetra), but we (under Patanjali) too will set up one. A resolution to this effect will be passed in the Haryana assembly soon," Ramdev told reporters this evening.
When asked if he will seek any help from Manohar Lal Khattar government for setting up the university, Ramdev said, "we will seek legal advice from government, but not any financial incentive."
Khattar, who was also present in the press conference along with Ramdev said, "Swami ji has multiple roles, one in which he runs his organisation like in Haridwar or in Haryana, the government will not have any role in this. He is Haryana's brand ambassador for promotion of Yoga and Ayurveda, a role which he has accepted and we are seeking his guidance and moving forward on this."
