Plan panel's nod for Aligarh Muslim University campus in Malappuram:

MALAPPURAM: The Planning Commission has granted approval for the project to set up Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) campus in Malappuram. The work of the new buildings at the proposed campus is expected to begin soon.

After the discussion with the union minister of state for human resources and development (MHRD) E Ahammed and the senior officials of MHRD, the director of the centre Muhammed said with the approval of Planning Commission the centre will get a financial aid of Rs 140 crore for the university campus. "The ministry will convene an emergency meeting of expenditure finance committee (EFC) to consider the revised project proposals submitted by the centre," he said.

In a letter to the MHRD minister Kabil Sibal chief minister Oommen Chandy had asked to take appropriate steps to provide financial aid for the centre.

In a meeting with the new vice-chancellor of the university Zameer Uddin Shah, at Thiruvananthapuram in last July, the chief minister had promised that state government will intervene to resolve the issue of delay in releasing the fund for the AMU centre.

As per the initial proposal the estimated cost of the proposed centre was Rs 1,100 crore. But the MHRD and University Grants Commission (UGC) denied the approval saying that it was not feasible. Later the project proposal was revised and the estimated cost was downsized to RS 140 crore. Even though the initial works on the proposed campus at Chelamaala near Perinthalmanna had already started using the initial fund of Rs 10 crore, the revised project was waiting MHRD's approval.

Planning Commission has granted the approval for the project of Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) campus in Malappuram.
