Early Times Report
Srinagar, June 14: The career of aspiring engineers who cracked Common Entrance Test (CET) with high percentage has been put on stake by the government by consuming time to construct Government College of Engineering at Safapora.
If sources are to be believed, the state government for unknown reasons has shelved the plan of constructing engineering college at Safapora due to which aspiring students have been suffering immensely.
Sources said that the government has already took years to procure land and now when it was time to construct college building authorities again use time buying tactics to start construction.
"They cannot made students suffer for their lackluster approach, how long shall the aspiring students wait, college could be started from rented buildings so that the future of students is saved, it seems that the government is waiting for auspicious moment for this purpose as well," sources told 'Early Times'.
They claimed likewise other universities and colleges were functioning from rented buildings or satellite campuses, GEC too could be made functional in the same manner for transitory time period.
They said the identification and procurement of land for the same has already consumed a lot of time for authorities, and without wasting more time government needs to start the operations of this institution from the rented buildings or from other college and university campuses.
"If Central University Kashmir, Government College of Engineering and Technology Jammu can be started from camp colleges/pre-existing buildings of other institutions and in many cases from rented buildings, why cannot the first ever Government Engineering College of the valley be started from a camp college from the current session itself," sources said.
The CEO, Jammu and Kashmir Innovators Forum (JKIF) Er Idrees-ul-Haq beigh said that the necessary financial assistance stands sanctioned by MHRD, Government of India to Higher Education department of J&K Govt under RUSA Scheme to procure land and construct the necessary infrastructure, "but the state government has already taken too much time to procure land, It is known college construction will take years altogether. He said government needs to propose and operate the institution from a camp college in any Govt. Degree College having well developed building infrastructure and start the classes from the current academic year itself. "The laboratory experiments desirable in the courses can be conducted in Kashmir University's Engineering School, NIT Srinagar, Kashmir Govt. Polytechnic Srinagar, Regional Research Laboratory etc till the infra-structure for the new Engineering College at Safapora is in place," Haq said. |
