==History==
A Union University or Central University in India is established by the Department of Higher Education, normally by the Act of Parliament, unlike most universities which are established by state governments. This university was established under 12 more proposed Central Universities in Bihar, Gujarat, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Kerala, Orissa, Punjab, Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu in the year 2009 through an Act of Parliament: "The Central Universities Act, 2009" by the [[Government of India]].
The Central Universities Bill 2009 aims at creating one new central university each in [[Bihar]], [[Gujarat]], [[Haryana]], [[Himachal Pradesh]], [[Jammu and Kashmir (union territory)|Jammu and Kashmir]], [[Jharkhand]], [[Karnataka]], [[Kerala]], [[Orissa, India|Orissa]], [[Punjab (India)|Punjab]], [[Rajasthan]] and [[Tamil Nadu]]. It also seeks to convert [[Guru Ghasidas University|Guru Ghasidas Vishwavidyalaya]] in [[Chhattisgarh]], [[Dr. Hari Singh Gour University|Harisingh Gour Vishwavidyalaya]] in [[Sagar, Madhya Pradesh|Sagar]] ([[Madhya Pradesh]]) and [[Hemwati Nandan Bahuguna Garhwal University]] in [[Uttarakhand]] into Central universities.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2009-02-25/india/28034296_1_harisingh-gour-vishwavidyalaya-guru-ghasidas-vishwavidyalaya-central-universities |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120708062215/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2009-02-25/india/28034296_1_harisingh-gour-vishwavidyalaya-guru-ghasidas-vishwavidyalaya-central-universities |url-status=dead |archive-date=8 July 2012 |title=Parliament passes bill to set 12 central news |date=25 February 2009 |work=[[The Times of India]] |access-date=20 February 2012}}</ref>

==Controversy==
=== Land fraud ===
When the land for the University was leased out by the villagers for a nominal rent, local and state leaders promised that the local villagers will be given priority for admission and jobs. Since then, M.M.Pallam Raju, Union Minister for Human Resource Development, has told the villagers that the Central Universities Act, 2009, does not allow reservations for jobs based on domicile. The people felt cheated and no relief was given to them.<ref name="Tribune 2013">{{cite news |url=http://www.tribuneindia.com/2013/20130117/haryana.htm#6 |title=Denied quota at varsity, villagers feel cheated |last=Dhawan |first=Sunit |date=16 January 2013 |work=[[The Tribune (Chandigarh)|The Tribune]] |access-date=22 June 2014}}</ref>

=== RSS leader speech ===
The University came under controversy and criticism when a senior leader of the [[Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh]] (RSS), Sunil Ambekar, presented a conference on "research methodology" without a research degree and as a chief guest organized by Central University of Haryana. Several scholars have questioned the option and asked if it comes under pressure from the government.<ref>{{cite web | last=Mohanty | first=Basant Kumar | title=No research is no bar for speech | website=Telegraph India | date=5 July 2020 | url=https://www.telegraphindia.com/india/no-research-is-no-bar-for-speech/cid/1785348 | access-date=8 July 2020}}</ref>
