| GCET sans facilities, hollow claims of govt exposed | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Dec 29 It was supposed to be one of the best engineering colleges in the
north India, but due to the apathetic attitude of the government it is
fast becoming defunct institute.
This is the story of the Government College for Engineering and
Technology (GCET) at Marjali (Chak Bhalwal), which sans facilities and
students are deprived of quality education.
The Government College for Engineering and Technology (GCET) was
established in 1994 in the old campus of University of Jammu but later
the concerned authorities decided to construct the complete college on
the role model of Regional College of Education (REC) at Marjali in
1996.
After one decade since the construction work, which started in 1998,
the condition of the college is completely in shambles.
According to source, the students of the College were suffering due to
lack of basic facilities including hostel facility, workshop,
practical equipments even there is no manpower to maintain the new
campus.
Interestingly, more than 10 years have been passed after the
construction of hostel building at new campus; it has no use for
students. There is boundary wall, water tank, warden room, play
ground, dispensary and other basic infrastructure to run a hostel for
those who are away from their homes. The college authorities or
Government has not done anything for the students to place them in
hostel. Sources said that about 60 percent students are from Srinagar
while 20 percent from far flung areas who needs hostel facility.
It is pertinent to mention here that State Government had decided to
complete the college in 3 phases and proposed to construct 20
buildings at a cost of Rs 80 crores. The first phase has been
completed which include 4 buildings having hostel, Civil Engineering
Block, Computer Engineering Block and common Lecture Hall.
