QUICK TENDER OVERVIEW

Chaudhary Charan Singh University is a sprawling academic institution with over 35 academic departments, hundreds of affiliated colleges across Western Uttar Pradesh, and tens of thousands of daily footfalls spanning undergraduate students, researchers, faculty, and administrative visitors. In accordance with advisory guidelines issued by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) and State Police security audits regarding the hardening of public university campuses, CCSU is upgrading its perimeter gates with robust, anti-climb, automated access barriers.
