Govt sanctions 38 new colleges in Gadchiroli
TOI: GADCHIROLI:
Despite it being a backward district under the shadow of Naxal
activities, Maharashtra government has sanctioned 38 new colleges for
Gadchiroli in the present academic year to boost education here.
The
increased number of colleges would certainly benefit students of this backward
district and prove useful in catering to their academic needs, said Dr Vijay
Ainchwar, vice chancellor of Gondwana University, under whose jurisdiction
these colleges will function.
Emphasis
is being given to quality education in these colleges and there would be no
compromise, the VC said, adding that with the government's move, the number of
colleges in the university has risen to 215 and all have started functioning
from the current academic session.
The
one-year-old Gondwana University aims to come up as one
of the best in the country and necessary steps have already been taken in that
direction, he said. New courses based on natural resources and tribal culture
are also being drafted and will be introduced shortly, he mentioned.
The
varsity recently conducted an online entrance examination for PhD courses and
got a tremendous response from students, he said.
