IIT, IIM opening in Bihar may be delayed

Patna, (Bihar Times): The Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh, is reported to have told the Union human resources development (HRD) ministry not to take any decision on the locations of proposed new Indian Institutes of Technology(IIT), Indian Institute of Management (IIM),Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIIT), Central Universities and other elite institutes in the country till a mechanism was evolved for the purpose of ensuring spread of higher education avenues in an even manner.

In a communication to the human resources ministry the Prime Minister Office (PMO)is reported to have asked it to wait till the finalization of 11th Plan. The PrimeMinsiter’s advise came in response to a letter of HRD minister, Arjun Singh, written in September last to Manmohan Singh regarding the establishment of these institutions.

It needs to be mentioned that the Centre has proposed to open an IIT, IIM and a Central University in Bihar.This decision would give a confusing signal to the state government which has activated its machinery for early establishment of these premier institutes for which the demand is coming from every quarter.
