Planned institutions with imminent implementation

• Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose AIIMS in Bhubaneswar (foundation stone laid on July 15, 2003) ; parliament Q & A on it on Dec 15, 2004 and Dec 21,2004
  In the 2005 budget: “… I am also happy to announce that work on the six AIIMS-like institutions will start next year …”.
  In the 2004-2005 interim budget: “ … The Prime Minister had, therefore, last Independence Day, announced the establishing of six hospitals, in the Government sector, on the pattern of All India Institute of Medical Sciences(AIIMS). This ‘Pradhanmantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana’ envisages six new AIIMS like hospitals, one each in the States of Bihar, Chhatisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, Rajasthan, and Uttaranchal. …”
  Recent news on this. [1].

Planned institutions/Efforts on for/In cold storage/To aim for:

• National Institute of Sciences. (M. M. Joshi mentions in Dec 2003-Jan 2004 (during the BJP tenure), about UGC’s plan in regards to this. See references to this at [1],[2]
  “…Dr. Joshi also informed the members about the steps initiated by the UGC … such as … to establish four National Institutes of Sciences at Bhubaneshwar, Chennai, Pune and Allahabad; …”,[3],
  [4], [5].)
  News articles on need of such science institutions: [a], [b].
• An IIT in Orissa: PM Vajpayee on Aug 15, 2003 had announced setting up of 5 new IITs by upgrading promising academic institutions. With that news there has been a lot of lobbying by various states, institutions, and other groups. For example, see [1] , [2], [3] . In March 2005, the committee that was set up came up with its (see [4], [5]) recommendation of upgrading 7 engineering colleges to IITs, based on their current research record and facilities. But in this comparison, none of the NITs were considered. Orissa must oppose this report, and push for considering the NITs. Then NIT Rourkela may have a good chance. If new IITs are to be made from scratch then Orissa must make a case to have one in the BBSR area. In this Orissa should join Andhra Pradesh, which is keen on having an IIT in Basar. *** Recent reports suggest that the UPA government may not quite implement the above mentioned recommendation. See the rediff column on this and another article on this. More on this: [IIT in Kerala?]; [Bengal?];[OU-transition-to-IIT];[long journey]
• A central university in Orissa: According to the UGC list of universities, none of the central universities , and none of the institutes of national importnace are in Orissa. There has been some efforts from Orissa MPs to convert Sambalpur University as a central university in Orissa. See [1]; [2].
