JAMMU: Government today approved the setting up of two architecture schools in the capital cities of the state which will offer courses in architecture and design at undergraduate level.

According to an order issued by the Higher Education Department, the School of Architecture in Srinagar will function from the Government Degree College Bemina.

Each School of Architecture shall have an intake capacity of 40.

Elucidating on the initiative of setting up the Schools of Architecture in the State, the Minister for Education Naeem Akhtar said the Government felt the need of establishing specialised architecture schools in the State as no such institution was available for the students here.
