NEW DELHI:
Prime Minister Narendar Modi is likely to lay the foundation for a Delhi University (DU) named after Veer Savarkar along with two other campuses in east and west Delhi on January 3. The DU has sent an invitation to the prime minister and is awaiting a confirmation from the prime minister’s office (PMO), as per the source from the PTI.
The Sarvarkar College in Najafgarh was approved by DU’s executive council in 2021 and will be built at a tentative cost of Rs 140 crore, the news agency said.
Expressing his views on the upcoming inauguration of three DU campuses, Yogesh Singh, vice chancellor, Delhi University, said: “It is a matter of pride for the Delhi University that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be inaugurating the east Delhi campus, west Delhi campus, and the Savarkar college which is being established under the vicinity of Roshangarh, Najafgarh tomorrow. In view of this project, we will create new opportunities and seats for the students and the projects will be completed within two years”.
“The university will set up screening of the inauguration programme in all three campuses and it will be viewed by many students because this project is a commitment by PM Modi and Delhi University will adhere with that commitment. We are proud that we are part of this great initiative.”
