Linde to support M S University with over Rs 3 crore for girls’ hostel in Gujarat

VADODARA: Support has started pouring in for M S University’s proposed project of constructing a new hostel building for girl students. Linde Engineering India Private Limited has given a letter of intent to MSU to participate in the building construction.
The university is proposing to construct the ground plus 10 floors-high building at the current location of chief warden’s office, which is close to the existing halls of residence (girls campus).
This building will be probably the tallest that will come up on the university campus. “Linde has given us the letter of intent to contribute in the project as part of its CSR activities. The contribution will be Rs 3.75 crore for construction of three floors,” MSU vice-chancellor professor Parimal Vyas said.
The university has formed a committee to draw out and recommend a firm plan for the project.
“This is the highest ever contribution that we will be receiving from a firm from its CSR funds,” he said.
The committee will also look into feasibility of constructing additional floors at the existing boys hostel campus of the Halls of Residence. The allocation of CSR fund for the project will be contributed in one or two years after requisite approval of the Linde’s Board.
Based on a firm plan that the university will submit and approval from its board, Linde will enter into an MoU with the varsity for the proposed project.
