Meerut: The long-pending demand by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel University of Agriculture and Technology (SVPUAT) of having a central library was met by the state government. Rs 2 crore has been sanctioned by the state government to build a library, while Rs 3.5 crore has been allocated to set up a food engineering college on the campus, said university authorities.
