Mysuru: Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy has said that the campus of century-old Nanjaraja Bahadur Choultry on Vinoba Road will be utilised to expand the Maharani’s Women’s Arts College. A hostel for the students will be built in a one-acre plot behind the Choultry and the State Government already possesses the land, he said.
Kumaraswamy was speaking after inaugurating the Cultural Forum of the Maharani’s College in city yesterday. “Maharani’s College was established in 1902. Thousands of students study here and the college has infrastructural issues as it is impossible to provide all the facilities within the existing premises. To solve this, we need space in the heart of the city and since the Nanjaraja Bahadur Choultry is diagonally opposite to the College, it is most suited for expansion,” he said.
