The University of Calicut will submit a package of ₹100 crore to the State Government as a compensation for the land it will lose for the national highway development.
The Uralungal Labour Contract Cooperative Society would be asked to devise schemes for the purpose. This was decided at a meeting of the Syndicate here on Monday. An academic block for ₹45 crore and an annexe for ₹10 crore would be part of the projects.
A delegation of the Syndicate would hold discussions with Ministers to ensure the release of funds including those to be allocated by the Kerala Infrastructure Investment Fund Board.
Amidst demand by the BJP for an investigation by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) into the alleged unauthorised transfer of funds belonging to the Maharshi Valmiki Scheduled Tribes Development Corporation (MVSTDC), Home Minister G. Parameshwara on Friday said that the State government will not hand over the investigation to the CBI “voluntarily.”
