February 1st, 2009
Following is from a report in Pioneer.
… The State Higher Education Department has brought up a proposal for an ICFAI University Bill to the State Cabinet for its approval on Sunday.
This will be the third private university Bill to be presented to the State Legislative Assembly. Earlier, the Vedanta University and Sri Sri University Bills were presented in the legislature and are pending for their approval. The next Assembly session will begin from February 9.
According to sources, the ICFAI, which signed an MoU with the State Government on March 20, 2007 to set up a World Class Multidisciplinary University, is waiting for an exclusive Act. The ICFAI will set up a core campus near Jatni to cater to the needs of 1,000 students.
Its disciplines include Basic Science, Humanities, Engineering, Business Management, Finance, Accounting, Economics, Law, Bio-Sciences, Environmental Science and Management, Tourism and Hospitality Management and Media and Mass Communication.
The university, which has also come up with an investment of Rs 150 crore, will promote research by setting up Centres of Excellence in its disciplines. It will be a fully residential campus for the students and faculty members.

Really good to know third private university coming up in Odisha and setting at the place Jatni, the Bhubaneswar- Brahmapur IT / Education corridor of Odisha. It would be still better, if we move the University location little down such as Chilika / Rambha, the good and piece atmosphere towards education.
