Another PIB: Central university in each state
August 29th, 2007
Following is yet another PIB report on this.
Subject to the Plan being finalized, it is proposed to establish 30 new Central Universities during the XIth Plan and the first two years of the XIIth Plan period, and to provide assistance for establishing one college in each district with low Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) in higher education.
Action for establishment, in the first phase, of one Central University, in each of the 16 States which do not have a Central University, so far, namely Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Goa, Gujrat, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kasmir, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Kerela, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, Punjab, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu and Uttarakhand, has already been initiated.
The targeted GER, as against the present level of approximately 10%, is at least 15% by the end of the XIth Plan and 21% by the end of the XIIth Plan.
This was stated by the Minister of State for Human Resource Development Shri M.A.A.Fatmi in a reply to a question raised by Smt. N.P.Durga in Rajya Sabha today.

Dear sir
If Revenshaw were to be made one central University, then Orissa should have another University ( may be thats KBK) because in revenshaw Centre has not to invest much. So, we hope we will have at least one IIT and two Central Universities.

Dear Sir,
As you are aware about the poor infrastructure and other facilities in the state of J&K, so we are eagerly waiting for at least one IT university in our state
