He asked the schools to formulate the DPRs within the permitted budgetary allotments. He further instructed the HOIs to workout ‘ ZERO WASTAGE’ plans- in terms of money as well as time also.

Dr. Sharma asked the attendees to stay in touch with the executing agencies to ensure completion of the process within the minimum stipulated time frame and avoid further academic loss of the students who have already suffered because of the COVID19 pandemic and the resulting closure of schools.
