Tri-Valley University (TVU) in the United States has been in controversy for its de-recognition. The Human Resource Development Ministry has asked Educational Consultants India Limited (EdCIL) to set up a website dedicated to students abroad after the Indian students enrolled in the now-derecognised Tri-Valley University (TVU).

EdCIL is a public sector enterprise, formed to offer consultancy and technical services in different areas of education, within the country and globally.

The HRD ministry intends to create website where all necessary information regarding universities and educational institutions abroad would be available to the Indian students.

There would be proper updating procedures on the website ensuring the authenticity of the institutions and the courses offered by them so that it can avoid students from being involved in any types of fraud. The ministry has taken this step when students enrolled in the TVU university were dumped from the university.

Students claimed that they were granted valid student visas and that Tri-Valley University (TVU) is listed as an approved institute by the US’s Department of Homeland Security.

The HRD ministry has given a meaningful explanation to the Ministry of External Affairs that TVU is on the approved institutes’ list of the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) and thus Indian students enrolled in the university should not bear the consequences of the fraud.
