Foundation stones were also laid digitally for three projects: a 22 kV power house and control room, a School of Education academic building, and an academic complex with 30 classrooms. These projects are at a different stage from the facilities inaugurated during the visit.

The jubilee marks fifty years of the institute’s status as a deemed-to-be university, rather than a claim that all of its activities began fifty years ago. The release does not specify a total construction budget or completion dates for the three new projects. The ceremony therefore confirms their launch without establishing that the planned buildings are already available for use.
