All these news relating to IIIT have come from respective state governments and orissa governmnet and its IT department are in a limbo for last two years as reported by the media. Not only IIIT-Berhamur, for that matter orissa has not shown the kind of interest for the ITIR as well. Hope good sense prevails and Orissa shows keenness for the projects on offer.
