With the establishment of Kishkinda University in Ballari, the prolonged efforts of Tungabhadra Education Health Rural Development Trust (T.E.H.R.D) and Basavarajeshwari Group of Institution to establish a university in Ballari and bring all its colleges under it has finally yielded positive results.
Trust president S.J.V. Mahipal, addressing a press conference, has said that the university campus with its administrative building, laboratory, library, hostel and playground will come up on a sprawling 50 acres of land near Sindhigeri village on Ballari-Siruguppa stretch, at an estimated cost of ₹100 crore.
The construction work on the university campus will be completed in two years. The university will keep functioning from the Ballari Institute of Technology and Management (BITM) until work on its campus is completed.
