Following are excerpts from a report in indiaedunews.com.
With plans to transform itself into a global educational centre in the coming years, the Banaras Hindu University (BHU) has submitted a Rs.3100 crore plan to the Union Human Resource Development (HRD) Ministry.
The proposal for the 11th Five Year Plan includes Rs.2800 crore for the main campus and Rs.300 crore for the South Campus of the varsity located at Barkachha in Mirzapur.
The university has also gone ahead with developing an Ayurveda faculty along with a 125-bed hospital, said BHU Vice Chancellor Professor Panjab Singh.
The institute’s Rs.100 crore proposal to establish an Institute of Science is also under the consideration of the Central Government.
The process of setting up an Institute of Law, Management and Social Sciences was also in progress, the V-C added.
I think Ravenshaw University, if it hopes to become a central university, should send such a plan. (One may note that of the 30 new proposed central universities, 14 are supposed to be world class universities.)
