The proposal will be discussed in the Executive Council meeting on March 25.
In the same meeting, the EC will also decide on the proposal to take over Rs 1,000 crore from the Higher Education Funding Agency ( HEFA ) for infrastructure development and creation of capital assets.
According to the proposal, construction of the new girls hostel will be funded with this HEFA loan. The university has earmarked nearly Rs 144 crores for constructing the hostel.
HEFA is a central government initiative to grant infrastructure loans to institutions including central universities and Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs). Established institutions would have to pay the principal amount while the government paid the interest.
The university, in one of the official documents, commented that it has been receiving “very limited allocation for creation of capital assets for the past three to five years” and that the university is “not able to develop any infrastructure” within the limited allocation.
