Bhubaneswar: The second campus of Rama Devi Women’s University is likely to be set up at Gothapatna, on the outskirts of Bhubaneswar, Higher Education Minister Ananta Das said here Saturday.
However, the committee constituted under the chairmanship of vice chancellor of the university would take a final call in this regard, he pointed out.
The panel members and the minister have already inspected a 66-acre land at Gothapatna and are happy with the location, sources said.
“We have visited three to four sites. But we like Gothapatna the best as there are other educational institutions like IIIT nearby,” Das said. However, he said they are still trying to “accommodate” the students in the “existing campus”.
Earlier, the state government had decided to establish the second campus of the Women’s University on the premises of Utkal University. However, the proposal did not go down well with students of Utkal varsity who staged protests demanding immediate rollback of the decision.
Prior to this, the government had selected a piece of land in Daspur but dropped the plan after the location was deemed too remote.
