DELHI:EROS TIMES: Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia made a surprise visit to the under construction East Delhi campus of the IP University. Both the CM and Deputy CM went around the campus and checked the progress of the construction at the campus.
The East Delhi Campus of the IP University is being built on a 18-acre land. The campus will have two colleges, one for design and one for architecture. It will cater to 2,000 students in every batch. The state of the art building would be ready in a few months and it will start its educational operation from the next academic session (2020). The campus will have hostels for both boys and girls.
It is worth mentioning here that the new campus was pushed by the AAP government during its first tenure of 49-days in 2013-14. However, the land was not allotted to the government during its tenure then.
Later, during the LG rule in Delhi, the campus was inaugurated without the land being transferred by the DDA.
When the AAP government came back to power in 2015, it again started pushing for the new campus. When checked it came to know that the campus has been inaugurated but the land was yet to be transferred.
The Education Minister, Manish Sisodia, again pushed for the project and ultimately the government bought the land from the DDA for the new campus and after some delay the work on the campus started.
Now with the continuous push by the Education Minister and support from the Chief Minister the eastern part of the city will soon get a state of the art campus which will benefit 2000 students in every batch.
