In a series of tweets in Odia, Pradhan said that if Rajendra University provides the necessary information, the University will soon receive a central grant under Section 12 (b) of the UGC Act,1956.
The move is expected to meet the aspirations of students in western Odisha and achieve the quality education set out in the Prime Minister's visionary new education policy, he added.

Rajendra University, Balangir has been established with effect from September 1, 2020 under the Odisha Universities Act,1989.
The UGC had however rejected the application for recognition of the university in December last year by saying, “As the university has been notified through a government notification and not established by Act of the state legislature, it cannot be included in the list of universities established as per section 2 (f) of the UGC Act, 1956.”
