By STAFF CORRESPONDENT

SILCHAR, March 3 - A day after Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal laid the foundation stone for the Swami Vivekananda Cultural Research Centre to be set up across 80 bighas of land in the premises of Assam University Silchar, authorities of the university have placed a demand for the post of a chair professor and fellowship for better research activities at the centre.

Sharing his happiness over the decision by the Government to select the university for the research centre, Prof Dilip Chandra Nath told The Assam Tribune on Sunday, �So far we are not aware about the modus operandi of the Government on the Swami Vivekananda Cultural Research Centre for which the university premises has been selected."

It may be mentioned that Rs 1 crore has been sanctioned in the first phase for the construction of the cultural research centre.
