In an effort to make the campus barrier-free for differently-abled students, Jawaharlal Nehru University is set to run an air-conditioned bus for travel within the premises.
Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) will extend financial support of Rs 30.35 lakh for the project. A memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed in this regard between the university and BHEL on Friday.
“This AC bus by BHEL will benefit around 300 differently- abled students living on the university campus, particularly in the summer months from April to July when the weather is extremely hot,” said JNU chief spokesperson Poonam Kudasia.
The university administration will provide additional infrastructure at bus stops commensurate with the nature of the disabilities of students.
