A satellite campus of the Central University Tamil Nadu (CUTN) in Tiruvarur will be set up in Trichy soon, university vice-chancellor M Krishnan said.

Thee VC said chief minister M K Stalin had promised his support to establish the campus in Trichy. “We met the CM last week to discuss the matter. He promised to provide necessary help to set up the satellite campus in Trichy. We need around 25 acres of land for the purpose. All these efforts are made to benefit more students from Tamil Nadu,” the VC said.

Regular classes, which had been suspended following the outbreak of Covid-19, will resume from October 20. “Students of UG third year and PG final year will be asked to attend class. Those coming in should be fully vaccinated and should also submit the relevant certificates,” he said.

A separate department for sports will be created soon at the University and a special fund has been requested for this, he said.

Earlier, Union minister of education and skill development and entrepreneurship Dharmendra Pradhan hoped that the students’ dreams would encompass the idea of doing something to better the lives of people less fortunate.

In a written message to students on the occasion of the sixth annual convocation via live streaming, he expressed hope that the country is going to witness a massive transformation in the education landscape in the years to come because of the various reforms.
