RGUHS campus in Ramanagaram

Staff Reporter

BANGALORE: The State Government has made it clear that the new campus of the Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS) will come up in Ramanagaram near Bangalore.

Principal Government Advocate Basavaraj Kareddy made the statement on Friday when a Division Bench comprising Chief Justice J.S. Khehar and Justice A.S. Pacchapure was hearing a public interest litigation (PIL) petition relating to the setting up of the RGUHS campus at Archakarahalli in Ramanagaram.

Delay questioned

Nalini Navaneesh and several other residents of Suggenahalli near Ramanagaram had moved the court against the delay in shifting the RGUHS campus.

They apprehended that RGUHS might not be shifted and it may continue in its present location in Jayanagar, Bangalore.

They said that in 2007 the State Government had decided to shift RGUHS to Archakarahalli and reserved 30 acres of land for it. Subsequently, the Government issued notification acquiring 200 acres of land.

With the Government stating that RGUHS would come up at Archakarahalli, the Division Bench took it on record and disposed of the petition.
