Two buses would move to and fro on the campus. A sum of Re 1 would be charged per trip. Especially for teachers living on the campus as well as hostellers, this service would come as a boon.

The proposal is that those coming to the campus in their personal vehicles could park these at any of the three entry gates and then make use of the shuttle service to commute. Plans are underway to develop parking spaces along the gates.

Earlier, an attempt had been made to ease vehicular congestion within the campus. An appeal had been issued that the first Monday of every month be observed as a ‘No Vehicle Day’. The students and staff should either walk or bicycle in the varsity. However, the scheme did not find many takers.

Vice-Chancellor Prof R C Sobti says, “The service would be started by April. The vehicular traffic on the campus is increasing at a fast pace. Accidents also happen frequently. Parking is posing to be another problem. It is only expected to increase further. Keeping in view the future requirements, the shuttle service is being started. It would also prevent pollution to an extent.”

To create awareness among the students about traffic norms, they would be involved in managing the traffic on the campus. The Students’ Council is organising a traffic awareness week in March.

A workshop would be held where the students would discuss ways in which awareness can be created among their peers. Experts would be invited to interact with the students.
