About RUSA Project
Our college was selected for the RUSA Phase II Grant of 5 Crore in 2018, with the grant divided into three major heads as per the Detailed Project Report submitted to RUSA-SPD. One of these heads involves utilizing 1 crore from the project to create a student's utility centre, which will have toilets in the basement and common rooms on the first and second floors for various student needs. The centre is strategically designed at the centre of the college campus, surrounded by an indoor stadium, old and new college blocks, and the college ground. The second major head involves purchasing equipment for strengthening UG and PG science laboratories, expanding computer labs, and updating the teaching-learning system, with 40 lakh utilized for this purpose.
