The permanent campus of Indian Institute of Technology, Dharwad has been constructed at a sprawling 470.2 acres of land near Mummigatti about 3.5kms away from the temporary campus.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had laid the foundation stone for the permanent campus of both IIIT-Dharwad and IIT-Dharwad simultaneously at a function in Hubballi on 10th February 2019.
Hubli boasts of the world’s longest platform. However no thought has been given to the senior citizens who cannot walk long distances nor climb the stairs nor use the escalator.There are 3 electric buggies parked on the 1st platform. Whenever we request for a buggy it is not available or driver is not available. In Bangalore the buggies are always active in all the platforms. There should be a buggy on each platform to assist the hapless senior citizens.
Hope the authorities take notice of this and take appropriate action.
Great PM of Great India 🇮🇳
Best wishes for brighter future with world class academic excellence to IIT Dharwad!
