work of the Government Degree College should be complete by October end.
Talking about Government Degree College in Kashiram Nagar, Tripathi announced that
the college will be renamed as Manyawar Kanshiram Government College. During a review
meeting, Tripathi directed the officials to pay heed to the grant of Rs 21 crore
to be given by Central government for development of Government colleges in districts
that have low gross enrolment ration (GER).
In this regard, director and regional higher education officer (RHO) has been given

BEd counselling has been extended till August 9 and directed Rohilkhand University

Expressing concern on the quality of higher education, he strongly asked
all institutions to undergo National Assessment and Accreditation Council's (NAAC)

education," Tripathi said.
