The Bangalore University is keen on creating a better ambience at its Jnana Bharathi campus.
Following the increasing number of road side vendors inside the campus, a special meeting of the university’s Syndicate, held on Monday, decided to change the ambience of the postgraduate campus.
Speaking to reporters, V-C Prof B Thimme Gowda said, “Tender coconut sellers, chat sellers, tea-coffee vendors will be told to shift their business to shops. We will create shelter for them. We will soon come out with a plan to stop such business inside the campus.”
According to the Syndicate members, the meeting discussed about building shops from the university funds and give them on rent at a nominate rate.
“There were suggestions to allow vendors to build shops and pay rent to the university. There was also a discussion about opening milk booths within the campus,” said a member.
