20:25 IST

RAJYA SABHA

Based on the recommendations made by the Scientific Advisory Council to the Prime Minister (SAC-PM), it has been decided to set up three new Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), one each in the States of Rajasthan, Bihar and Andhra Pradesh during the XI plan. In order to expand the facilities for high quality management education in the North-East, the Government has decided to establish an Indian Institute of Management (IIM), at Shillong.

After considering requests of the State Governments and other relevant factors such as existing regional distribution of Central Educational Institutions in the country, it has been decided to locate 5 more IITs and 6 more IIMs in the following States :-

IITs – Himachal Pradesh, Orissa, Madhya Pradesh (Indore), Gujarat and Punjab.

IIMs – Tamil Nadu, Jammu & Kashmir, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh (Raipur), Uttarakhand and Haryana.

16 States which do not have a Central University at present, and which will get one Central University each in the 11th Plan are Bihar, Jharkhand, Orissa, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Jammu & Kashmir, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Rajasthan and Goa. Of these, in three States, existing State Universities will be taken over by the Central Government and converted into Central Universities. These three Universities are Dr. Hari Singh Gaur University, Sagar (in Madhya Pradesh), Guru Ghasidas University, Bilaspur (in Chhattisgarh), and Goa University. It has also been decided to locate 14 world class Universities, one each in the 14 States / Regions as detailed in the Annexure. State Governments of Bihar, Rajasthan and Andhra Pradesh have offered land free of cost for setting up of IITs in their States. Locations of remaining Institutes / Central Universities will depend on various factors including the sites as may be offered by the respective State Governments.

A total outlay for setting up of one new IIT, with an intake capacity of 860 students is expected to be Rs. 760 crores. The total outlay for setting up of one IIM, with an intake capacity of 180 students is expected to be of the order of Rs. 210.25 crores. The estimated cost for infrastructure of a Central University with a School of Medicine, with an intake capacity of about 12700 students, would be about Rs. 720 crores spread over a period of 9 years. These new Institutes / universities will be funded by the Central Government (except cost of developed land).

This information was given by the Minister of State in the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Smt. D. Purandeswari in reply to a question in Rajya Sabha today.

    The timeline for setting up the 5 newly announced IITs (other than Bihar, AP & Rajasthan) is quite ambiguous.

    Noting that establishing the 14 World Class Central Universities would spill over to the XII-th five year plan (according to another PIB announcement), it is quite possible that the IIT Orissa would only be fully established during the next (XII-th) 5-year plan, which is quite a long time.

    Several newspaper reports have suggested that three new IITs (Orissa, AP & Rajasthan) will be established this year. I strongly doubt it. The “Orissa” actually could be “Bihar”.
