He said this negates the tall claims of the administration to make available education at door steps, especially in rural and far-off areas.
He said that laying of the foundation stone by Commissioner/ Secretary Higher Education Department at a function held with much fanfare is not enough and there is need to proceed ahead with sincerity of purpose in expediting the work of the college complex
