Muslim-owned university accused of ’flood jihad’ by Himanta Biswa Sarma shines among country’s top 200. The Muslim-owned university has been under attack from Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, who accused it of ‘flood jihad’ for allegedly being responsible for floods in Guwahati. The University of Science and Technology (USTM) in Meghalaya has become the only private university in the Northeast region to be included in the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) 2024, which the Union Ministry of Education released earlier this week.
Himanta Biswa Sarma also targeted the university, saying that its gates are like Mecca - the holiest site of Islam in Saudi Arabia- and that his Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government would move the National Green Tribunal (NGT) against the university. USTM, a private university established in 2008, is promoted by the Education Research and Development Foundation, founded by Mahbubul Hoque, also the Chancellor of the University.
