The Maharashtra government has granted preliminary approval to an educational organisation to establish the city’s first ‘vertical’ university in Malad. The one-of-a-kind university will be confined to a single high-rise instead of a sprawling campus.
Earlier this month, Atharva Educational Trust was issued a letter of intent (LoI) to start a private university housed in a 10-storey building. The trust must meet several academic and infrastructure requirements before opening the institution to students. The proposed institution will operate separately from the trust’s other educational offerings.

The trust runs several colleges in Malad and had submitted a proposal for a vertical university last year. This was after the state government relaxed land norms for new private universities in the MMR region. The new policy allowed universities in the region to operate from an independent building of up to 50 floors with a minimum 15,000 SqM built-up area.
Under the norms for vertical universities, the building should have a scope for further construction in case the number of students rises. The total area requires 40% reserve space for the playground following the provisions of the Unified Development Control and Promotion Regulations (UDCPR) and Development Control Promotion Regulations (DCPR), 2034.
