| BJP J&K hails historic decision to hand over Army Land Adjoining Jammu University for its campus | |
Jammu, August 01 (Scoop News)-The Bharatiya Janata Party, Jammu & Kashmir, wholeheartedly congratulates the Government of India, under the visionary leadership of Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, and the Ministry of Defence for taking the historic and long-awaited decision to facilitate the transfer of the Army-held land adjoining the main campus of the University of Jammu. This landmark decision brings to fruition a demand that has remained pending since 1973 and marks the end of a five-decade-long wait for the academic community and the people of Jammu said Arun Kumar Gupta UT Spokesperson BJP
This is not merely an administrative decision but a transformational step that reflects the Government of India's commitment towards strengthening higher education, promoting balanced regional development and ensuring that genuine public aspirations are addressed with sincerity and resolve. The decision demonstrates that under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, even the most complex and long-pending issues can be resolved through dialogue, coordination and political will.
On behalf of the BJP Jammu & Kashmir, Arun kumar gupta UT state spokesperson expressed heartfelt gratitude to the Hon'ble Prime Minister, the Hon'ble Raksha Mantri, the Ministry of Defence, the Indian Army leadership and all stakeholders who worked tirelessly to make this historic breakthrough possible. The Indian Army has always been the pride of the nation, safeguarding our borders with unmatched courage and dedication. The Army's willingness to cooperate in this matter, while balancing national security imperatives with developmental aspirations, deserves the highest appreciation and respect.
The issue of the land adjoining Jammu University has remained unresolved for more than five decades despite repeated representations by various stakeholders, university authorities and public representatives. Successive governments discussed the matter, committees were formed and proposals were moved, but the issue remained unresolved. The present Government has once again demonstrated that decisive leadership, institutional coordination and commitment to public welfare can overcome even the oldest administrative hurdles said Arun Kumar Gupta
The expansion of the University of Jammu has been constrained for years due to the non-availability of adequate land. As one of the premier institutions of higher learning in the region, the university has witnessed a steady increase in academic programmes, research activities and student enrolment. The availability of this strategically located land will provide a significant opportunity for the university to create new academic blocks, advanced research centres, innovation hubs, hostels, sports facilities and modern infrastructure that will benefit thousands of students for generations to come.
This decision is also a powerful affirmation of the Modi Government's vision of empowering youth through quality education. Over the last decade, the Government of India has consistently invested in educational infrastructure, promoted innovation, encouraged research and implemented the transformative National Education Policy. The present decision is another milestone in that larger vision of creating world-class educational institutions across the country gupta added
Equally important is the exemplary spirit of cooperation displayed by the Ministry of Defence and the Indian Army. National security remains paramount, and the Army's operational requirements have always been respected by every patriotic citizen. At the same time, this decision proves that developmental needs and security interests can coexist through mutual understanding, careful planning and institutional cooperation. It reflects the maturity and strength of India's democratic institutions.
The people of Jammu have waited patiently for this day. Students, teachers, alumni and citizens have consistently hoped that this issue would finally be resolved in the larger public interest. Their patience has been rewarded through the decisive intervention of the Government of India. This achievement will be remembered as a defining moment in the educational history of Jammu and Kashmir said gupta
The BJP also hopes that the transfer process and all subsequent formalities will now be completed expeditiously so that the University of Jammu can immediately initiate its expansion plans. Every effort should be made to ensure that the land is utilised in a transparent, planned and visionary manner to create state-of-the-art educational infrastructure that serves future generations.
The BJP believes that education is one of the strongest foundations of nation-building. Investments in universities are investments in India's future. This decision will not only strengthen the University of Jammu but will also contribute to the economic, social and intellectual development of the entire Jammu region by attracting greater academic excellence, research opportunities and innovation-driven growth.
The Bharatiya Janata Party once again conveys its sincere appreciation to Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, the Ministry of Defence, the Indian Army and all officials associated with this historic initiative. Their collective efforts have transformed a five-decade-old aspiration into reality and have written a new chapter in the development journey of Jammu and Kashmir.
This historic achievement sends a clear message that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, no genuine public demand is too old to be addressed and no developmental aspiration is beyond fulfilment. The BJP remains committed to supporting every initiative that strengthens education, empowers youth and accelerates the comprehensive development of Jammu and Kashmir concluded Arun Kumar Gupta.
