Bharathiar varsity gets ready for silver jubilee celebrations

"The University will get a new clock tower, a compound wall and a recycling waste water plant, all at a cost of Rs. 33 lakhs, for the silver jubilee celebrations," Bharathiar University Vice-Chancellor G. Thiruvasagam, told presspersons here on Tuesday.

This would be in addition to the new auditorium, ladies hostel and civil services coaching academy that the varsity would get in this connection.

Also, the whole university would get networked at a cost of Rs. 64 lakhs. In order to organise the Community Service Project, "Padithathai Pirarukku Padikka Koduppom', in an orderly and systematic manner, the Vice-Chancellor had called for a meeting of the principals of all colleges on January 9.

The project that is aimed at making the 1,68,000 students of the university collect used academic and literary books from households, would take place on January 26.

Through this, the university expected to collect at least ten books for every student.

The books would be handed over by President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam on February 24 - on his visit to the university on the eve of its silver jubilee celebrations - to the rural library heads from Coimbatore, Erode and the Nilgris district, said the Vice-Chancellor.
