Universities and Institutes of Technology are autonomous academically independent institutions within the meaning of the Universities Act, 1997 and the Institutes of Technology Act, 2006 respectively. Neither I, nor my Department has any function in relation to the day to day management or academic affairs of any institute. The extension of opening hours in academic libraries is a matter for management in each individual higher education institution.
