MHRD neglect of Orissa

May 9th, 2007

During this UPA rule MHRD has announced and started several top-notch institutions across India; some are mentioned in a recent PIB press release. Following is a list of them:

    1. IISER Kolkata, West Bengal (1)
    2. IISER Pune, Maharashtra (1)
    3. IISER Mohali, Punjab (1)
    4. IISER in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh (1)
    5. IISER in Thiruvanthapuram, Kerala (1)
    6. IIT in Andhra Pradesh (1)
    7. IIT in Rajasthan (1)
    8. IIT in Bihar (1)
    9. IIM at Shillong, Meghalaya (1)
    10. SPA in Vijaywada, Andhra Pradesh (2)
    11. SPA in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh (2)
    12. Upgradation of Bengal Engineering and Sc U to an IIT clone (IIEST), West Bengal (2)
    13. Upgradation of Andhra Univ Engineering College to IIT clone (IIEST), Andhra Pradesh (3)
    14. Upgradation of Osmania Univ Engg College to IIT clone (IIEST), Andhra Pradesh (4)
    15. Upgradation of IT BHU to IIT clone (IIEST), Uttar Pradesh (1)
    16. Upgradation of Cochin Univ of Sc and Tech to IIT clone (IIEST), Kerala (2)
    17. IIIT Kanchipuram, Tamilnadu (1)
    18. Allahbad University made to a Central University, Uttar Pradesh (2)
    19. Manipur University made to a Central University, Manipur (1)
    20. Arunachal Pradesh university made to a Central University, Arunachal Pradesh (1)
    21. Tripura university made to a Central University, Tripura (1)
    22. New Central University in Sikkim, Sikkim (1)
    23. CIEFL Hyderabad made to a central university, Andhra Pradesh (5)
      Orissa is among the bottom three (and now at the bottom) in terms of per-capita spending by MHRD in fully funded higher education institutions and it does not have an IIT, IIM, Central university, Institutes of National Importance, IIIT etc.
      If so many new institutes are being made by MHRD, and Orissa did not have any of the above kinds of top-notch institutions to begin with, why a single one of the new ones fully funded by MHRD are not in Orissa.
