Alumnus Fadnavis offers help to Nagpur varsity for building

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis today offered help to the Rashtrasant Tukadoji Maharaj Nagpur University for the building of an ultra-modern convocation hall.
Fadnavis, who laid the foundation stone for the new administration building of the varsity, said that since Nagpur was being developed into a smart city, the building being constructed should be equipped with wi-fi and be a paperless office.
Well-known industrialist Rahul Bajaj, who donated Rs 10 crore towards the proposed building, was present on the occasion along with Vice-Chancellor Dr Siddharth Kane.
Fadnavis said that since he had completed his graduation at this varsity, he would like to repay that debt by helping it build a grand convocation hall.

Recalling that his family has had old ties with Nagpur and Wardha and was part of the freedom movement of Mahatma Gandhi, Bajaj said he will share 50 per cent of the total expenditure for the administration building, which is estimated to cost Rs 24.52 crore.
The construction of the 'E' shaped administration building is expected to be completed within two years.
