Bhubaneswar-Cuttack-Puri to have 25 universities
November 8th, 2008
The Bhubaneswar-Cuttack-Puri area will have 25 universities. Following is a slide on it from my presentation at the Invest India Symposium.
The color coding in the above slides is as follows:
- Red – Central govt funded universities/institutes
- Navy Blue: State govt. funded universities
- Light blue: PPP
- Green: Privately created universities and deemed universities
- Orange: Mention about colleges that are part of various universities
To compare this with the universities in the major metropolitan areas of the US and the state of California, please see:
- Boston: 18 four year colleges and universities in the city and 24 in the surrounding areas, some listed twice as they have campuses in the city as well as in the surrounding areas.
- New York:83 colleges and universities in New York City, not counting the 22 individual colleges of CUNY.
- Los Angeles:
- Chicago: 43 colleges and universities
- California
The reason we use California as a reference point is that the population of California (34,600,463 in 2001) is close to the population of Orissa (2001: 36,804,660).
