The state government has yet to deposit the required funds for the land transfer necessary for constructing the campus at Jadrangal. Having been embroiled in political tangles, there is a growing concern in Kangra about a permanent campus for the varsity that was among 16 such institutions set up under the Central Universities Act, 2009.

The BJP will raise the issue at a protest rally (Aakrosh Pradarshan) being organised by the party on December 18 at Dharamshala's Zorawar stadium against the two years of Congress government's "misrule", and in the House.
