5. I have chosen Bombay as a Place for the College for Three Reasons - Page 453

428 DR. BABASAHEB AMBEDKAR : WRITINGS AND SPEECHES

  1. I have selected a site for the College with an approximate area of six acres. It belongs to the Bombay Municipality. It is the only site left in Bombay which can be regarded as suitable for a College. If I lose the site I shall have to abandon my project which will be a great valamity. I can proceed with the negotiations only on the assurance that I can raise funds which is I have said I can do only by way of loan from the Government of India. I do not proposed to draw the amount of loan immediately. It will remain with the Government of India. It will be drawn as and when need to draw arises.

  2. As I am anxious to secure the site I shall be grateful if my application is granted without delay.

1st February 1945, I remain,

22, Prithviraj Road, Yours faithfully, New Delhi. (Sd.) B. R. Ambedkar.
