Work on a second campus for Jagannath University has made little headway in the 8 years since it received the government's approval in 2016. The university needed expansion to successfully conduct its academic activities. The Education Ministry had also allocated Tk2,000 crore to implement the development work for the campus in Keraniganj, adjacent to the capital.
The development work was scheduled to finish in 2020, but the university authorities failed to complete it in time as they could not prepare a master plan.
According to sources, the then vice-chancellor of Jagannath University, Professor Mizanur Rahman. had prepared a master plan for the development work in 2018, but the current administration ignored his plan and opted to go for a new one.
In the previous master plan, there were 17 residential halls, a modern library, shopping complex, academic buildings, theatre, TSC, mosque, lake, gymnasium, residential buildings for the vice-chancellor and other teachers
