News of Hunan Daily on Jun. 13 (Journalist Yu Rong) It is reported that the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China has written to the People's Government of Hunan Province, agreeing to change the name of Hunan University of Commerce (HNUC) to Hunan University of Technology and Business. At this point, the number of general institutes of higher education named after "university" in Hunan Province has increased to 13.

Hunan University of Technology and Business is located in Changsha, a famous historical and cultural city. Its school-running history can be traced back to 1949. It is a provincial full-time general institute of higher education covering economy, management, technology, science, law, culture, art and other disciplines. The university has 1,284 faculty members, including 911 full-time teachers and 151 teachers with high professional titles. The university has trained more than 110,000 excellent technology & business and finance & economics talents for the country, which is known as "the Base of Cultivating the Economic Hunan Army and the Cradle of Cultivating Professional Entrepreneurs".

Previously, in addition to Central South University and Hunan University, there were 2 non-comprehensive universities out of 10 provincial "universities" in the general institutes of higher education of the whole province, with agriculture, forestry, medicine, normal, science and technology as the main disciplines. The successful rename of Hunan University of Technology and Business made up for the lack of technology & business and finance & economics "universities" in Hunan, optimized the layout of higher education of the whole province, added new impetus for high-quality development of higher education in Hunan Province, and provided better choices for the majority of examinees and parents.
