Addressing presspersons, he said the Government had issued notifications for acquiring 222 acres of land at Sathyamangala near Hassan. But people of the area were against the acquisition as the land was fertile.

Dr. Honnappagol said the university had deposited Rs. 14.95 crore with the Deputy Commissioner’s office towards land acquisition charges, and the Government would take a final decision in this regard soon.
Dr. Honnappagol said the Centre had released Rs. 1.11 crore to the university for farming activities.

He said that in order to provide food for cattle during drought, the university had collected 186 tonnes of bagasse to be mixed with fodder. He said cattle did not relish bagasse, but would eat it if mixed with fodder.
