Delhi Education Minister announces establishment of two new Ambedkar University campuses, check details
Delhi Education Minister Atishi has announced that Ambedkar University will soon be getting two new campuses to increase the number of seats. The Delhi government has taken the step to prioritize re-conceptualization of technical institutes. While reviewing the projects for higher education, the minister directed the officials to prepare an action plan for modernisation and expansion of all universities and technical education institutions of the Delhi government.
"In Delhi, 2.5 lakh children pass out of class 12. But despite having talent and ability, only one lakh of these children get admission in any university. Taking cognisance of this, the Delhi government started increasing the capacity of its universities," she said, as reported by NDTV.
She further directed the officials to accelerate the construction work of the Rohini and Dheerpur campuses of the Ambedkar University and said the new campuses will address all academic needs of students. "The Delhi government is working with a vision of changing the country through education. After the Dheerpur and Rohini campuses of the university are ready, more than 26,000 students will be able to get admission here," the minister said.
"Both the campuses will have multi-storey academic blocks, convention block, health centre, auditorium, administrative block, library block, amphitheatre, guest house, separate hostels for girls and boys. Residential units will also be constructed," she said.
"Two state-of-the-art academic blocks will be constructed in Industrial Training Institute (ITI) Shahdara for 10,000 students," she further added. The first phase of the project was reviewed by the Delhi education minister tomorrow.
