Mizoram Chief Minister urges centre to set up new University campus
Mizoram Chief Minister Zoramthanga has called on Union Education and Skill Development Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and apprised him that there is a need to establish higher education institutions in the state in order to improve education overall.
"The chief minister sought the Central government’s help to set up a new campus of the Mizoram University (MZU) in south Mizoram’s Lunglei town," the official statement said. He further urged the Education Minister to extend the help to ensure that the proposed MZU southern campus in Lunglei became functionalised at the earliest.
The Education Minister on his part assured the Mizoram Chief Minister that he will take all required steps to help the state. Earlier, state higher and technical education minister Dr. R. Lalthangliana had informed the state assembly that the government will be unable to finance the creation of infrastructure for the southern campus of MZU.
The minister had said that "the Centre wanted the state government to arrange necessary funds for the creation of infrastructure for the university campus." He further added that in 2020 the Centre had approved in principle the establishment of MZU southern campus and also asked the state government to acquire land for the campus and the MZU, which is a Central University.
He further informed that the state government has already acquired land for the campus and the land lease certificate has been already handed over to the MZU. He had said that "a Detailed Project Report (DPR) prepared by the MZU was already submitted to Centre for the establishment of the university campus."
