The proposal passed in the building committee has been placed before the executive council meeting. According to the agenda document, 鈥淯nder the EWS scheme, the university has been allotted Rs 1.20 billion for construction and creation of other infrastructure, whereas the cost of the four projects, as approved by the building committee, is much more than the sanctioned grant; as such it was necessary to prioritise the projects to be taken up under the EWS scheme.鈥�
