Whatever others may think of the BITS-Pilani. The main reason was to grab the Communidade land that was leased to Gwalior Birla Ltd. for the construction of a factory to manufacature fertilizer but was lying unused for the last 30 years. A case is filed against the ZIL for subleasing this land. Anyone interested to know more please contact me. Tel. 2550295
