New Delhi: Thanks to its close association with the Gandhis, Rae Bareilly's Fursatganj airport that houses the Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Uran Akademi (IGRUA) will soon have no fursat ke raat din. Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi on Monday held a meeting with top aviation ministry officials ” who are ex-officio members of IGRUA ” and now the place is all set to get a world class national aviation university at an investment of Rs 150-200 crore.
"The governing council of IGRUA (Rahul Gandhi and aviation ministry brass) will finalize the plan for the university and send it to the Union Cabinet for clearance since IGRAU is funded by the Central government. The Cabinet note will soon be finalized," said sources. The governing council is headed by aviation secretary K N Shrivastava and the aviation minister is not a part of it.
