Aurangabad, Aug 23:

Union Minister of State for Finance Dr Bhagwat Karad said that all financial aid would be provided to Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University (BAMU) to improve basic infrastructure and enhance education quality.

Management Council members-Kishor Shitole, Dr Narendra Kale, Dr Fulchand Salampure and Dr Rajesh Karpe, Dr Bhalchandra Ahire and others were present on the dais.

Dr Bhagwat Karad said that Bamu should develop the quality of education in such a way that students get selected for the jobs on hearing its name.

He said that he started his political career at the university itself. Dr Karad said that he had done MBBS and MS from BAMU.

“Efforts would be made to bring fund from Central Government as well. But, the university should get a place in the top 50 universities list of NIRF ranking. Sufficient fund to national level rural development institute (Bamu), named after late Gopinath Munde, would be given,” he added.
