Former MP CM demands ten acre BHEL land for college building

Former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister and senior BJP leader, Babulal Gaur, today demanded that public sector undertaking Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL)provide 10 acres from its land reserve to construct a college building.
Gaur submitted a memorandum to former Human Resources Development (HRD) minister Murli Manohar Joshi in this regard here today urging him to help. Joshi had come to participate in a local programme.
Gaur said that BHEL was allotted 6045.180 acres land for its plant and township between 1956-1962. At present the heavy industries PSU has 2245.10 acres vacant land with it, he added.
The former CM said that the BHEL college, established almost 30 years ago, is running from a dilapidated building allotted by the PSU.

The college offers courses in Arts, Commerce and Science streams.
Gaur said that a provision of Rs 7 crore made by the state government remained unutilised in the absence of land to construct a new building.
"Due to paucity of space and growing strength of students, there is no space for organising sports and other extra-curricular activities in the institution," Gaur said.
