This decision was initially met with opposition from stakeholders, including students and teachers, who feared it would harm the university’s academic culture and the farming community
Past land transfers for a science museum and helipad have already reduced university land, adding to the concerns. Alternative locations, such as the 3,000 bigha land in Bagoda near Kangra, have been suggested for the tourism village.
