Today, Hon'ble Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee laid the foundation stone of the second campus of Presidency University at New Tiown. This is a 10 acre plot. I remember clearly the meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Infrastructure where this decision was taken. I also recall the discussions with Vice Chancellor Ms Malabika Sarkar at Hidco in course of her visit to the site. As a Presidencian myself, it was thrilling to hear the call from Hon'ble CM from the dais that it should strive to be the Number 1 centre of excellence in the world. A photo:

The plot is close to Hidco Bhavan / Rabindra Tirtha.
I noticed the clock-tower-shaped frame of the plaque (see background) |

Hon'ble Chief Minister visited Eco Park in he evening, on her way back from Barasat. During her brisk walk, she gave many useful suggestions. A particularly poor quality photo follows (no flash, poor light, in motion):
All these projects coming up is great news - but this will lead to more traffic on the major arterial road - plans should be made to make this road as signal free as possible. Small flyovers in the busy 1st and 2nd rotarys and a right turn flyover from Rabindra Tirtha towards Sankalpa would help a lot. And eventually more flyovers can be added on the MAR from Rabindra tirtha headed towards the airport.
