Kunal Mathur, an expert consultant from the company said that they inspected the site in order to prepare the DPR for the AMU's study centre. The consultancy would complete the DPR in a month and hand it over to the AMU authorities for approval. Further he added that the construction of study centre campus in the first phase would cost Rs 400 crore while the total cost of overall infrastructure would be about Rs 2,500 crore.
It should be noted that the state government had last year handed over the 224.02 acres plot to the AMU authorities to set up infrastructure for higher education facilities. Later on the UPA government had late last year approved the AMU study centre project at Kishanganj. Last month on 1st April, 2013 an official delegation of Aligarh-based premier central university led by Vice Chancellor Lt Gen (Retd.) Zameruddin Shah had visited the site. Mr Shah had expressed his willingness to start the campus at the earliest from Minority Hostel of Bihar Government.
