History

• Galgotias Educational Institutions began with Galgotias College of Engineering and Technology near Pari Chowk in Greater Noida, which opened in 2000 and established the family's presence in the region's private technical education market.加尔戈蒂亚斯教育机构起步于大诺伊达帕里广场附近的加尔戈蒂亚斯工程技术学院，该院于 2000 年开办，奠定了该家族在本地私立技术教育市场的地位。

• The university itself was created in 2011 by an Act of the Uttar Pradesh legislature, sponsored by the Shakuntala Educational and Welfare Society and led by Suneel Galgotia as founder and chancellor.大学本身依据北方邦议会 2011 年通过的法案设立，由沙昆塔拉教育与福利协会主办，苏尼尔·加尔戈蒂亚斯以创办人及校监身份领导。

• Teaching began in 2011 on a campus off the Yamuna Expressway in Sector 17A of Greater Noida, a site chosen for its road access to Delhi and to the expressway corridor towards Agra.教学于 2011 年在大诺伊达第 17A 区、亚穆纳高速公路旁的校区开始，选址考虑的是通往德里以及往阿格拉方向高速走廊的便利。

• The land beneath the campus had been assembled in 2008 and 2009, when the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority acquired farmland from local cultivators at below-market rates using the urgency clause of the Land Acquisition Act 1894.校园用地于 2008 至 2009 年间整合而成，当时亚穆纳高速公路工业发展局援引 1894 年《土地征收法》的紧急条款，以低于市价的价格向当地农户征得农地。

• A large part of that land was subsequently allotted to educational institutions, including the Galgotias group, a transfer that turned into litigation rather than a settled acquisition.其中很大一部分土地随后被分配给包括加尔戈蒂亚斯在内的教育机构，这一转让最终演变为诉讼，而非尘埃落定的征收。

• In 2011 the Allahabad High Court held in the Gajraj case that the urgency clause had been wrongly applied across the Greater Noida region and that farmers were entitled to 64.7 per cent extra compensation from the allottees.2011 年阿拉哈巴德高等法院在加杰拉杰案中认定，紧急条款在大诺伊达地区被错误适用，农户有权向土地受让方额外索取 64.7% 的补偿。

• The judgment made Galgotias liable for a further 12 crore rupees, a demand that the Shakuntala Educational and Welfare Society contested and that remained pending in court for years afterwards.该判决使加尔戈蒂亚斯须再支付 1.2 亿卢比，沙昆塔拉教育与福利协会对此提出异议，相关诉讼此后多年悬而未决。

• In September 2014 an FIR was registered against the university after the society failed to repay high-interest loans of more than 100 to 120 crore rupees that it had taken from SE Investments between 2000 and 2012.2014 年 9 月，因协会未能偿还 2000 至 2012 年间向 SE Investments 借入的逾 10 亿至 12 亿卢比高息贷款，警方对大学立案。

• Dhruv Galgotia, then chief executive of the university, and his mother Padmini Galgotia were arrested in October 2014 and spent 14 days in judicial custody before being released on bail.时任大学首席执行官的德鲁夫·加尔戈蒂亚斯与其母帕德米尼·加尔戈蒂亚斯于 2014 年 10 月被捕，在司法羁押中度过 14 天后获保释。

• Parts of the case were later treated as a civil dispute and quashed by the courts, and an arbitrator ordered repayment with interest, although the interest amount was subsequently reduced.案件的部分内容后来被认定为民事纠纷并由法院撤销，仲裁员裁定须连本带息偿还，但利息金额其后被调低。

• In 2014 Narendra Modi, then chief minister of Gujarat, presented the university with a DQ-ICT Award as a top private university for academics and global linkages, an early marker of its public alignment with the Bharatiya Janata Party.2014 年，时任古吉拉特邦首席部长的纳伦德拉·莫迪向该校颁发 DQ-ICT 奖，表彰其作为私立大学在教学与全球联系方面的表现，这成为该校与印度人民党公开亲近的早期标志。
