Earlier we touched upon the working group recommendation in the 11th plan. Going through the report of the higher education working group we noticed the following recommendation (in Section 3.4.3 page 20) with respect to central universities in the north eastern region.
I think the proposed central university in Koraput should be treated at par with central universities in the north eastern region.

Pragativadi reports that the KIIT foundation plans to establish an autism center at KIMS (Kalinga Institute of Medical Sciences). Following are some excerpts from that report.
The workshop was inaugurated by Prof Nalini Menon, head of Rainbow Centre for Autism, Bangalore.
In his opening address, chancellor of KIIT University, Dr Achyut Samant said that KIMS would soon have a modern centre for treatment and research on autism to be set up under able guidance of Menon.
Stating that a majority of the patients from Orissa have to go to Bangalore for the treatment of this disorder, Dr Samant said that the proposed autism centre at KIMS would be immensely beneficial for the patients as we as researchers in the field.
Addressing the workshop, Prof Menon said that Autism is not localised in India but prevalent in all parts of the world.
In his speech, Dr Kailash Chandra Panda, former principal of the Regional Institute of Education, said that autism is a pervasive developmental neurological disorder, which is detectable from age of three onwards in affected children.
The proposed autism center at KIMS would be the first of its kind in the state, he informed.

With new malls opening up in various places there is a lot of job opportunity in the areas of retail management and logistics. New Indian Express reports on this and about some business schools that offer courses on this topic. Following are some excerpts.
How about making a career in logistics? Industry estimates that the sector, going through acute manpower shortage, could create employment opportunities to the tune of 50,000 in the next five years.
The mushrooming malls and the expanding chain of retail stores on the neighbourhood are indicative of growing need of skilled hands.
With an annual growth rate of 25 percent, this is one sector that would see more and more avenues opening up in the times to come.
Gati, a leading player in the sector, has already offered placement letters to the first batch students of PG programme in Logistics and Supply Chain Management being offered by city-based Asian School of Business Management (ASBM).
“Our aim is to hire graduates who intend to assume leadership positions in supply chain management and contribute to the competitiveness of the firms globally,” said managing director of company Mahendra Agarwal while giving away the letters and kicking off the programme on the ASBM campus here on Friday.
It is the first of its kind in the country and has been jointly designed by ASBM and Gati. Students would have the advantage of working in Gati’s warehouse for hands-on experience after 14 months of the course.
While 30 students have been enrolled in the first batch, the institute plans to raise the strength in the coming years.
So what would the sector expect from you? According to Agarwal – who was decorated with the ‘logistics man of India’ on the occasion – you ought to possess an analytical mind to succeed in this field.
