The package will cover the cost of modern equipment and other necessary facilities for a multi discipline research centre (MDRC) and improvisation of the animal house. The college authority has already allotted a compact floor area in one of its newly-constructed buildings for the MDRC in which research works of all the departments of the College will be performed with the new equipment. It may be mentioned that presently the research works of different departments are being performed in respective departments. Out of total Rs 6 crore, an amount of Rs 82 lakh has been segregated for the improvisation, renovation of the aged old existing Central Animal House.
