Dharamshala, June 8 (UNI) Former Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister and former union Minister Shanta Kumar today hailed the achievement of the Central University of Himachal Pradesh (CUHP), Dharamshala, for securing the 9th position among universities in India, describing it as a matter of great pride for the state.
In a statement, Shanta Kumar said CUHP had become the first university from Himachal Pradesh to attain such a high national ranking. He congratulated Vice-Chancellor Prof. Sat Prakash Bansal, along with the university’s faculty, officers and staff, for the achievement.
