Rs 2.80 Billion BITS Pilani Hyderabad Campus Foundation Laid

With late Shri G D Birla as the founder, Dr K K Birla as the present Chancellor and Shri Kumar Mangalam Birla as the future Chancellor designate, BITS Pilani has always been led by one who knows the way, goes the way and shows the way.

The foundation stone laying ceremony of BITS Pilani Hyderabad campus at Jawahar Nagar Shameerpet on Saturday 28th April 2007 by the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh Dr Y S Rajasekhara Reddy in the presence of Dr K K Birla Chancellor of BITS Pilani and other dignitaries is part of a long unfolding story. It is an outcome of the Birla family’s active and dedicated involvement as well as commitment over hundred years for the cause of education.

With the humble beginnings as a pathshala in the year 1901 to educate Shri. G. D. Birla who is one of the doyens of Indian industry, the Birla Institute of Technology and Science “BITS” located at Pilani Rajasthan became a deemed to be university in 1964. Since 1979, BITS Pilani has been participating in the human resources development activities of a vast spectrum of Indian corporates by integrating the working environment of the employees with the learning environment required by the Institute by offering an array of work integrated learning programmes. Apart from the Pilani campus, BITS has a campus at Dubai which is in operation from the year 2000 and a campus at Goa in operation from the year 2004.

Considering that Human resources have become more and more important than natural resources in determining the wealth of a society, BITS Pilani has embarked on the Hyderabad campus project to provide a serious, focused and rigorous environment with state of the art facilities and operate on the cutting edge of knowledge and pedagogy.

For the BITS Pilani Hyderabad Campus project, lead design consultants for the year 2010 New Delhi Commonwealth Games Village M/S Suresh Goel and Associates is the architect while ‘We Make it Happen’ M/S IVRCL Infrastructures and Projects Ltd would be offering the Construction Consultancy.

Greatness of an Institution not only depends on its standing but also on which direction it is moving and for sure BITS Pilani is moving in the right direction.
