UGB V-C seeks DM's help

MALDA, 18 NOV: With no alternative in sight, the University of Gour Banga (UGB) vice chancellor Prof Gopa Datta today sought the Malda district magistrate Mr Sridhar Ghosh’s help for post graduate students’ classrooms.



It may be noted that the new university does not have buildings in the present campus in English Bazaar town. Construction of the boundary wall is going on at the site now.


The university authority has rented rooms from some colleges in Malda town from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m to run courses for seven PG subjects. According to the district magistrate, the vice chancellor Prof. Gopa Datta said that the allotted three hours were not sufficient for the PG students. “The problem grow acute in the winters and pose a practical problem for the teachers and students to attend classes,” said Prof. Datta.


Under the circumstances, the VC met the district magistrate this evening and urged him to rent seven buildings in the town for the university to open departments separately for the seven subjects and hold classes as well.


Stating that it was difficult to arrange that many buildings in the town, the DM added that the administration would try to find out alternative arrangements. “It calls for immediate construction of buildings in the university campus,” he added. ;SNS
