!nitial Project "is#.
The future uncertainty of the project is the ris* associated with the project. The following
ris* areas of the project have to be considered for the project implementation.
$. Acceptability by the students and parents
The students of 4ri /an*a still believe the government universities for their educations.
They thing that the education level of the private universities in 4ri /an*a not yet upto
the acceptable level. )urther most of the government jobs are offered to the graduate
passed out by the Government national universities and private sector companies accept
the graduate from foreign universities. Therefore there is a ris* of accepting the graduates
produced by this university from the industry such as government sector and the private
sector.
%. &nvironmental Certificates.
The area of the university premises is situated in a highly residential area with
agricultural bac* ground@ the waste management will be a big issue. "s the oya which
used for drin*ing water and agricultural lands are surrounded by the environmental
authorities may be reluctant to issue the relevant certificates.
'. Acceptance for affiliation from forei(n universities.
"s the 4ri /an*an government universities will not be issued affiliations to these
universities. we have to see* affiliations from the foreign universities. The ris* here is
whether such universities will be affiliated by us as their recogni1ed graduate centers.
). Approval *rom the University +rant Commission
Due to the political parties. general public and the students of the national universities
will pressuri1e the government to stop the privati1ation of the state educations@ there is a
ris* of not giving the approval from the 5G+ of 4ri /an*a.
