GU appoints private agency to run tennis centre on campus
Updated: Dec 13th, 2024
Gujarat University has zeroed in on a private player to run the varsity's tennis centre.
The development comes soon after the university's vice chancellor inaugurated the tennis centre on Thursday, despite the centre being in existence at the sports complex for years.
The university has handed the tennis centre to a private sports academy-company, which will run the centre on a PPP (Public Private Partnership) basis.
On one hand, the university has cancelled the contracts of all partner agencies, companies from self-financed courses, while on the other, it has handed the tennis centre to a private entity.
All experts and the staff will be provided by this agency.
The university and the private agency, after consultations, will decide on the fees to get coached at the centre, which has three clay and six synthetic courts along with a conference room.
The academy which will run the tennis centre also runs a cricket academy-coaching in another central university in Ahmedabad.
Notably the Gujarat University is preparing to achieve an A++ grade in the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) accreditation, a goal for which the university has been reportedly putting in efforts.
With many private and government universities in the state already having earned an A++ or A+ grades from National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC), Gujarat University is also eying the highest accreditation on offer from the council.
