Overview
Statutory committees are an essential pillar of how MS Digital University will be governed. Once the university receives statutory approvals, these committees will be constituted in accordance with the university's statutes, UGC regulations, and applicable laws — playing a critical role in maintaining standards, protecting rights, and ensuring the university remains a safe, inclusive, and accountable institution.
Each committee will have a defined mandate, composition, and reporting line. Together, they will cover the full spectrum of responsibilities — from learner welfare, safety, and equal opportunity to financial oversight, research ethics, and long-term planning. Their recommendations will shape institutional policy and be reviewed by the Board of Management.
