The coming of Bennett University to Uttar Pradesh is a welcome step in this direction," said Uttar Pradesh chief minister Akhilesh Yadav. The Bennett University, Greater Noida Uttar Pradesh Ordinance 2016, had been sent for the governor's approval on Saturday after the Uttar Pradesh cabinet cleared it by circulation. UP's higher education secretary Jitendra Kumar said, "Setting up Bennett University, which is of international standard, is a landmark in the state's higher education scenario. Engineering students who are interested in striking out on their own will get a chance to polish their skills at Babson College. In addition, Bennett University is also a founding member of The Babson Collaborative, launched by the US-based Babson College, globally recognised for its leadership in entrepreneurship education.
