This new university represents a paradigm shift in India’s higher education sector. It seeks to deliver the nation’s youth dividend.
Urbahn recently developed the master plan for a new +5,000-student university with multiple institutes. The new university is sponsored by the Usha Martin Group, one of the major industrialists in India, as part of their initiative to improve the economy and quality of life in Jharkhand State. Usha Martin University will reside at two locations, an 18-acre downtown Ranchi campus and, 15 kilometers away, a 40acre bucolic plot along the Subarnarekha River.
The campuses will house academic and laboratory facilities as well as the administrative support, domiciliaries, business co-location, recreation, and community components. Contrasting most Indian universities, the Usha Martin University programs are premised on employability of its graduates, and balancing academia with real-world considerations; fieldwork will be fundamental to the educational process, and a wide range of rigorous business classes are integrated within the core curricula. Other values that are embedded within UMU’s institutes are sustainability, innovation, collaboration, and partnership with corporates.
The Rukka campus is planned to achieve LEED Platinum with Net-Zero energy consumption.This new university represents a paradigm shift in India’s higher education sector – It seeks to deliver the nation’s youth dividend.
