The government earlier had planned to build colleges for girls within a radius of 20 kilometres but that distance has now been reduced to 15 kilometres, the chief minister said.
"Soon this limit will be further reduced to 10 km so that girl students do not have to travel long distances from their homes to pursue higher education,” he added.
The chief minister was speaking after inaugurating a newly built academic block at Chaudhary Bansi Lal University, Bhiwani through video conference, an official statement said here. He said the block has been named after India's renowned mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan.
The chief minister said he was proud to name the academic block after Ramanujan as he himself had been a student of mathematics. All the people of our country should take inspiration from Ramanujan, said Khattar, adding that students should also be taught 'Vedic mathematics'.
He said despite being a small state, Haryana has about 50 universities, including the government and private ones, imparting general as well as technical education. He said the state has also universities for sports, medical sciences and ‘Ayurveda'.
