Himachal Now News Shri Renuka Ji:

Shri Renuka Ji College, currently operating temporarily in the Senior Secondary School, is soon expected to have its own grand building.

The state government has allocated 35 bighas of forest land for the construction of the college, for which the Forest Department has prepared a case under the Forest Conservation Act (FCA). This case will be sent to the Government of India soon.

On Tuesday, a team from the Nahan Forest Division, led by DFO Avni Bhushan Rai, inspected the selected land. During the inspection, the DFO stated that the draft under the FCA is being prepared and will soon be sent to the Government of India for approval.

The construction work of the college will commence as soon as forest clearance is received from the Government of India.The state government has approved a budget of ₹5 crore for this significant project, out of which ₹25 lakh has already been released to the construction agency, the Public Works Department.

He has included the construction of the college among his priorities.Currently, the college operates in just four small rooms of the hostel at Government Senior Secondary School Shri Renuka Ji Dadahu, where approximately 250 undergraduate students are pursuing their education.

The construction of the new building will provide better facilities for students from around 25 panchayats in the area to access higher education.After the construction of the building, postgraduate (PG) classes are also likely to commence in the college.
