“A satellite campus of Vishva-Bharati National University will be operationalized in Tagore-Top-Hill of Ramgarh in Nainital, where Shri Rabindranath Tagore wrote the Nobel winning literary masterpiece - Geetanjali.”
Uttarakhand allotted/handed over land for a Visva-Bharati satellite campus at Ramgarh and a ground-breaking ceremony was reported in May 2022, with a first-phase DPR around ₹150 crore under central consideration. I did not verify actual academic operations at the campus. Objective partially met: land and project initiation are verified, but the promise was to operationalise the satellite campus, which is not verified. Budget: Reported first-phase DPR value was about ₹150 crore; not verified as fully sanctioned/completed for operations.
