No more varsities in Vani Vihar campus: ABVP

No more varsities in Vani Vihar campus: ABVP
Bhubaneswar(visakeo)Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad( ABVP) has strongly protested the move of the State Government to set up the proposed Open University in Utkal University campus in Vanivihar here. By this myopic measure decision of the Government the glory, prestige and progress of the varsity will be tarnished.

The progress, excellence of different educational departments, introduction of new time-relevant subjects has identified this as a prominent university nationally. Today there is not enough land for hostels, lecturers’ quarter, play ground, new departments, and different development programmes. Thousands acres of land is being given to private universities as compensation package, but isn’t it the responsibility of the Government to provide 50 acres of land near the city for the Government institution,-questioned ABVP. Therefore the Government should plan for the next 50 years. It must consider another place instead of Utkal University because in the next 10 years half of Odisha’s population will be in the age group of 18 to 25. Keeping their educational career in view the Government must plan. “If the University land is misused the student community will intensify a State wide agitation,” warned State secretary Sanjaya Dash
