RAJOURI, Aug 28: University Grants Commission (UGC) released second installment of 12th plan grants for Campus Development of Baba Ghulam Shah Badshah University (BGSBU).
With the release of the grant, the construction works in progress on the University Campus will receive further boost.
Following recognition of the university under 12 B by the UGC in 2011 and the sanction of Plan Grants by the State Government, the once financially starved University, is abuzz with construction and development works today. Seven new blocks, built at a total cost of over Rs 13 crore are nearing completion, waiting only for the finishing touch. For construction of another five blocks at a cost of Rs 18 crore, foundation stones are being laid in next few weeks.
Such unprecedented speedy growth at the physically hostile terrain has been possible through the untiring efforts of those at the helm of affairs in the University now and also in the past.
The unique feature of the BGSBU development works is the way these have been harmonized with the ecology and environment of the place. Establishment of 20 huge water bodies for recharging underground aquaducts, setting up of elaborate system of solar panels for harvesting solar energy, green construction works and massive plantation have turned the nude hillocks of Dhanore into a salubrious Campus for others to emulate.
