Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan will lay the foundation stone of the facilitation centre on Sunday on the 40-bigha land allotted to the university by the district administration.

BJP MP Ramesh Bidhuri will also be present at the event.

"The facilitation centre will enable students of DU, living in and around Bhatti Kalan, to complete various processes, including admission, examination with ease without having to travel long distance," Gupta said.

There are also plans to establish such centres at some other places as well, according to officials.
