Lucknow: Lucknow University (LU)’s proposal for its third campus at Piparsand village in Sarojini Nagar has moved a step closer to implementation, with the LU registrar’s office submitting a land verification report to the UP higher education department.
The department has forwarded the report to the district magistrate’s office for clearance before the final proposal is placed before the state cabinet for approval.
We are now awaiting clearance from the district magistrate’s office so that the proposal can be taken up at the next state cabinet meeting. “We visited the site to verify the land and submitted the report to the UP higher education department along with dean of the agriculture department Gauri Saxena. Following this, the UP higher education department directed LU authorities to identify suitable land for the proposed campus and submit a report detailing the university’s land requirements.
A reminder was also sent to the DM office on Friday, requesting clearance for the report,” said LU registrar, Bhavana Mishra.
The proposed 50-hectare campus will accommodate the university’s agriculture faculty and help expand its academic infrastructure,” said LU vice-chancellor Prof JP Saini. “We hope to get the clearance soon. The next step will be to complete the land transfer process and take the proposal forward.
