    While searching for Kumaun University in ISC, I found two spellings for it - (1) Kumaun and (2) Kumaon.
    Though both spellings are popular in Uttarakhand but the first one is officially accepted.
    I suggest that the option 'Kumaon' can be deleted and colleges linked to it can be linked to 'Kumaun'. Of course, the webmaster will be knowing the better way to do it.
    Just for reference - Kumaun University is having its main campus in Nainital, Uttarakhand. There are many colleges in Uttarakhand which are affiliated to it.
