THE Rajshahi University Finance Committee and Syndicate at a meeting Thursday evening approved the annual budget of Tk 148.50 crore for the financial year 2011-12.
The University Grants Commission will provide Tk 139 crore while the rest will come from the university's internal resources, said university sources.
The university authorities put forward a budget of Tk 200.25 crore to the University Grants Commission but UGC approved the Tk 148.50 crore budget.
RU vice-chancellor Professor Abdus Sobhan told New Age that the budget for the financial year 2011-2012 did not reflect their aspiration as the UGC downsized the proposed budget.
'We will try to increase research facilities for the teachers and the students,' he added.
Meanwhile the progressive students' organisations leaders and activists rejected the budget as, they said, it kept little allowance for research.
