According to officials, this milestone paves the way for the development of IGDTUW's much-anticipated permanent campus. "This development is a powerful testament to our collective commitment to empowering women through inclusive, high-quality technical education. With this land, IGDTUW is well-positioned to become a leading institution not only in India but globally, in
women-led innovation
, research, and academic excellence," the education minister said.
Sood praised the university for its remarkable growth and contribution to technical education, research and women's empowerment. "This is not just a university, it's a symbol of transformation — of how young women, even with limited resources, are creating stories of excellence in laboratories, startups, and industries," he said.
He highlighted the university's commitment to sustainability, applauding its status as a zero-waste, zero-plastic campus. "It's heartening to see that the very principles IGDTUW teaches — of technology and sustainability — are being implemented in its day-to-day functioning," he said.
He also underlined the institution's 100% placement record and its impressive achievements in research, including 103 research awards, 19 patents and research incentives worth Rs 57 lakh being awarded to students.
The Foundation Day ceremony also served as an occasion to honour outstanding research accomplishments of IGDTUW's faculty and students.
"Despite operating from a small and old campus, IGDTUW today stands among India's premier technical institutions. Its journey reflects the collective vision and hard work of its faculty, students, and administration," Sood said.

Former BJP MP Pragya Thakur, who was acquitted by NIA court in the Malegaon blast case, claimed that she was tortured and forced by the ATS to name Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and RSS chief Mohan Bhagwant's names among others in the case. "I have given everything in writing and named all those whom I was forced to name. They kept saying, 'Name these people then we won't beat you.' Their main aim was to torture me," Thakur told reporters on Saturday.

"This was a conspiracy by the Congress, and it has now been exposed. There is no need for further proof because truth always prevails, and it has prevailed this time as well. Congress targeted saints, the RSS, and the Army, all of which are fundamental pillars of India, in an attempt to destroy them.' Live Events "'Bhagawa, Sanatana aur Rashtra ki vijay hui hai'... I had to face a lot of difficulties, but I will keep doing everything possible for the country in future... The entire case was falsely made by Congress. This case was baseless... Congress always uses respectful words for terrorists. Congress party cannot become a nation-loving party..." Thakur said. The Malegaon blast case On Thursday, the NIA special court acquitted all seven accused in the 2008 Malegaon blasts case. The court said that the prosecution failed to establish the case beyond a reasonable doubt, leading to the acquittal of the accused, including Pragya Singh Thakur , Major (retired) Ramesh Upadhyay, Sudhakar Chaturvedi, Ajay Rahirkar, Sudhankar Dhar Dwivedi (Shankaracharya), and Sameer Kulkarni. Further, the court also ordered Maharashtra government to provide compensation to the victims' families, awarding Rs 2 lakh to the families of the deceased and Rs 50,000 to those injured in the blasts. The court found no evidence of explosives being stored or assembled at the residence of Prasad Purohit, another accused in the case. "No sketch of spot was done by the investigation officer while doing panchnama. No finger print , dump data or anything else was collected for the spot. The samples were contaminated so reports can't be conclusive and relied upon," the court said. The case dates back to September 29, 2008, when an explosive device strapped to a motorcycle detonated near a mosque in Malegaon City's Bhikku Chowk, resulting in the deaths of six people and injuring 95 others.
