By launching a drive to popularise bicycles on campus, the 65-year-old Vice Chancellor said that they were a much healthier option than motorbikes, which till now have been crowding roads within the sprawling campus.
Aiming to make the university a "genuine green campus", Shah noted that in most of the western countries, especially in USA, cycling in different university campuses had witnessed a major revival in recent years.
This practise, he said, deserves to be emulated in India also.
The Vice Chancellor had recently faced flak from some quarters after he imposed a ban on motorcycles in residential hostels of the University from the new academic session.
