I hope this note finds you well.i wanted to take a moment to express my admiration for the exceptional infrastructure at our college .As a student ,i have had the opportunity to witness firsthand the remarkable facilities and resources that contribute to an enriching academic experiences.the laboratories and research facilities are remarkable.
college is under construction . Hence, we are not having a good infrastructure . And coming to food and hygienie , Food is improving day by day as far as hygiene is considered we are facing some issues.
College is under construction but still they are making us (starting from 2022 dec 2) to stay in new campus which is not fully constructed , Hence there is no proper infrastructure. They should arrange for infrastructure faster or they should arrange for temporary arrangements. For now they arranged classrooms in a studyroom of hostel. No our spaces are not clean and hygienic as campus is under construction you can see a lot of dust.
