Fadnavis was speaking at the Project Initiation Ceremony of the university's permanent campus, where Chief Justice of India (CJI) BR Gavai was the chief guest.

“The Chief Justice asked me whether the plot was a wetland. I said that everything has been looked into. We have all the permissions from the competent authorities,” Fadnavis said. He added that although the project was delayed, it would be one of the best campuses in the country. “Technology is disruptive, and though MNLU got a little late, this will be the most advanced campus with all modern advantages. I am sure it will achieve international status,” he said.
