The Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Institute of Textile Management in Coimbatore will be upgraded and renamed Indian School of Textiles, the government announced Thursday.
“The school will engage itself in research and will also undertake comprehensive consultancy services for the industry,” Textiles Minister Dayanidhi Maran told reporters here.
Orissa should keep a watch on similar upgradations and make a case for upgradation of similar institutes in Orissa. Some of the institutes that come into mind are:
Food Craft Institute Balangir – Should be upgraded to Indian Institute of Hotel Management
Biju Patnaik National Steel Institute, Puri – Should be upgraded to Indian Institute of Steel
IIMC Dhenakanal branch – Should be upgraded to an independent IIMC
IITTM Bhubaneswar branch – Should be upgraded to an independent IITTM
If I am missing something, please add in the comments.
NISER/IOP: The IOP+NISER budget (item 9.04 of the DAE budget) is 69 crores in plan + 9 crores in non-plan = 78 crores. The nornal IOP budget is about 20 crores. Hence, 50-58 crores is the budget for NISER in 2008-09. (Note that in 2007-08 IOP was allocated 32.75+7 crores and it spent 27.6+8 = 35.6 crores. I..e, Probably 15-18 crores were spent for NISER. )
