A Leap Towards Eco-Friendly Knowledge Spaces

The MoU was formally exchanged between Mr. Uttam Lal, Director (Personnel), NHPC, and Mr. Pulkit Garg, IAS, Vice Chairman of VDA, on July 23, 2025. The event marked the beginning of a transformative project that will involve demolishing the current library at the LT College Campus and constructing a modern, sustainable facility in its place.
