Ravenshaw II for GenNext

Ravenshaw II for GenNext
Cuttack:18/February/2007
If you are bored with the concrete jungle and polluted environment around the century old Centre of Learning, Ravenshaw Unitary University (RUU) -- just relax.

Soon the Unitary University will be having its second campus by the side of ever flowing Mahanadi, a sprawling 150 acres of area dotted with lush green environment and a serene atmosphere in the outskirts of Cuttack.

Once anybody visits the place will appreciate why the chief of the institution has chosen the picturesque site.

Giving out details of the expansion plan Devdas Chotray, Vice Chancellor of the Ravenshaw Unitary University said that the century old institution which was established in 1868 to accommodate only 500 students is catering to the demand of 7000 learners.

While the earlier 100-acre campus is being encroached from various sides and left with less than 80 acres the class rooms are not able to cater the growing demand of the students, he said.

“Keeping in view another 100 years, we have planned for Ravenshaw II in Abhinav Bidanasi by the side of the Mahanadi”, said he.

Choice of the place came naturally to the authorities because on the other side of the river, the National Institute of Science, Education and Research (NISER) and Sri Ravishankar University is coming up.

“So to make RUU a ‘Knowledge Hub’ of South Asia we have planned for both infrastructure and academic development of the institution,” said Chotray.

On academic front including subjects of applied science like Biotechnology, Food technology and Language technology is in offing.

Similarly RUU will be opening branches of Management Specialty in Aviation, Steel and Mining sector to cater to the growing demand of the future education, said he.
