it had only been eight months since they moved to the new campus and a lot of work was still under progress. “But now, with more space, we have new hostel blocks and accommodation for the faculty . Our campus is eco-friendly it has an in-house sewage treatment plant and a rainwater harvesting system, and we are planning to set up a composting plant. Our solar panels are being installed,“ he said. The new building gives the faculty its own lab to conduct research, for which Rs 3 crore has been allotted. One of the most striking parts on the campus is the library . “It is spread over three floors, 10,000 square feet each, complete with an e-resource centre. The e-resource centre will give access to a range of online journals, including the best like the Oxford and Cambridge publications.
