Nagpur: Maharashtra National Law University (MNLU), Nagpur, has received a major financial boost with the state government approving Rs264.77 crore for the second phase of its permanent campus at Waranga. The announcement was made by vice chancellor Vijender Kumar during the inauguration of the Phase 1 campus, presided over by Chief Justice of India (CJI) Bhushan Gavai. Approved by the state's high-power committee in March 2025, Phase 2 will focus on strengthening core campus infrastructure. "Key components include the construction of new hostels for both male and female students, a dedicated dining hall, a full-fledged auditorium, and multipurpose cultural and academic hubs," Kumar said. The vice chancellor added that the expansion will also enhance the central library complex and add more academic blocks to cater to the growing student intake. "These facilities are expected to provide a more integrated and self-sufficient campus environment for students, faculty, and staff," he said. The Phase 1 infrastructure, now operational, includes administrative offices, student service centres, and teaching blocks. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Perdagangkan CFD Emas dengan Broker Tepercaya IC Markets Mendaftar Undo Apart from the new administrative building, the central library's Tree of Knowledge was also unveiled.

He also noted that proposals have been submitted for additional amenities such as a football ground, a green gym, and a cricket facility with support from the district collector. Dr Kumar credited CJI Gavai for his continuous guidance and support in building MNLU, a nationally recognised legal education institution in the city. He also thanked chief minister Devendra Fadnavis for prioritising the university's growth. "His background in law and governance has helped turn this vision into something tangible," Kumar said. Kumar, who has been a part of MNLU Nagpur since its inception under the vision of justice Sharad Bobde in 2016, said the university was envisioned as a transformative and engaged model of legal education. With the completion of Phase 1 and the rollout of Phase 2, he added, the institution is steadily moving toward realising that founding vision.

Stamp duty waiver of 45cr for Dharavi project to lease rly land
Mumbai: The state cabinet on Tuesday approved stamp duty waiver of Rs 45 crore on sub-lease agreements between Dharavi Redevelopment Project (DRP) and Railway Land Development Authority (RLDA), as well as of Rs 186 crore on the conveyance agreement signed with the judiciary to set up a permanent campus of Maharashtra National Law University at Goregaon. RLDA has agreed to lease 47.5 acres of its land at Mahim to DRP for more than 30 years. So far, DRP has obtained possession of 28 acres. The land is to be used for railway staff quarters and offices, as well as for housing slumdwellers and residents of authorised buildings in Dharavi. Over 10,000 housing rehab units are proposed to be built on the plot. In a press release, govt said there was a proposal to include such sub-leases in the stamp duty concession policy so that the project's implementation could get a boost. Maharashtra National Law University currently operates out of a rented building at Powai. Govt has provided 35 acres to it in Goregaon for a permanent campus. The stamp duty is 5% of the ready reckoner rate of the plot, which is valued at Rs 3,100 crore, said officials. "The construction of the university's infrastructure in this new space will save on rental costs. Also, the students here will have access to educational facilities in one place," stated the release. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Coventry: If You Were Born Between 1945-1974 You Could Be Eligible For This British Seniors Read More Undo The cabinet also approved a 50% reduction in stamp duty, amounting to Rs 33 crore, on a special purpose vehicle agreement on 493 hectares required for a joint venture project of MMRDA and Raigad Pen Growth Centre Ltd. This would benefit housing projects on the land, said officials. Through the growth centre, govt aims at development of fintech companies, educational and healthcare facilities, amusement parks, affordable housing, commercial hubs, retail and construction sectors, thereby providing a large number of employment opportunities at the local level. "Apart from promoting foreign investment, there is a possibility of a large amount of stamp duty and tax revenue being collected in the state treasury from future commercial transactions. Against this backdrop, a proposal to waive 50% stamp duty was approved," said an official. In the last financial year, govt earned Rs 58,000 crore as revenue from stamp duty, and in the current fiscal, it is estimated to cross Rs 60,000 crore.
