The cabinet approved the proposal of the Department of Higher Education to grant ex-post facto approval to allow the institutes located in agricultural lands, in school buildings and rented premises affiliated to Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University and Board of Technical Education for the academic year (2016-17).
