20 IIITs to come up on public-private partnership mode
Wednesday, 28 July 2010, 19:28 Hrs
New Delhi: The HRD Ministry has prepared a public-private-partnership model for setting up 20 IIITs under which the expenditure could be shared in the ratio of 85 to 15 between the government and industry.
"The government of India has a scheme of setting up new IIITs under PPP mode," Minister of State in the HRD ministry D. Purandeswari said in a written reply to the Lok Sabha recently.
According to a note prepared by the Ministry for these projects, each Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIIT) would be set up at an investment of Rs 200 crore and the government would bear 85 per cent of the expenditure.
Of the 85 per cent spending, the Centre would provide for 50 per cent and the state government would bear 35 per cent of the expenditure. It means the Centre will provide Rs 100 crore while the state government will give Rs 70 crore and the industry will provide Rs 30 crore for setting up of each IIT.
"The scheme is yet to be approved by the cabinet. The location and other details of the new IIITs will depend upon the schemes finally approved," the Minister added.
At present, India has four IIITs at Allahabad (Uttar Pradesh), Gwalior (Madhya Pradesh), Jabalpur (Madhya Pradesh) and Kancheepuram (Tamil Nadu).

all. i mean for every student who is unable
to pay large amount of fees. The institution
should maintain its quality and quantity with
excellent faculty and every thing. But these
should be in every state.

The HRD Ministry initiative for a public-private-partnership model for setting up 20 IIITs under which the expenditure could be shared in the ratio of 85 to 15 between the government and industry is laudable. It seems there is a name and fame attached to IITs. Otherwise the HRD could strengthen the existing NITs . It is easy and cheaper to improve the IITS rather than starting new IITs which is time consuming.
More over 15% Industry investment is too meagre. It should be at least 40%. Already Industrial Giants like TATAs,Birlas,Mahindras,Mittals etc.,besides IT Giants like Infosys,Wipro are leading Companies in their fields.
In the fields like Electronics and Computers there is a dearth of Faculty as most of them get fabulous offers from Industry and Abroad.
The first started IITS in Chennai, Delhi, Bombay, Kanpur and Kharagpur were having collaboration with other countries. That is why the financial crunch was not there.
HRD Ministry should ensure that quality should be the motto for the new IITS in the offing.

16: Its a bold step taken up by the Govt. It will
improve the Education in India and will also
help in preventing the Brain Drain!
Posted by: Jai - 29 Jul, 2010
17: This is really great news for students but
one more thing which is lacking in India is
post graduation because of which many Indian
students are going to abroad for higher
education. If we have more universities like
IISC then hope higher education problem will
also gets solved soon.

18:I agree with you. It may be possible in near
future as HRD minister's planning is going to
the right direction. Hope & wait as India
is being developed country.

19: This will give the opportunity to many
students...
I think a lot is needed to be done to improve higher education system...Govt should think about it more than providing many IITs and IIITs..

26:The report is correct. There are only 4 IIITs
under Govt of India. Others are either
private or under the state governments (e.g.,
IIIT Hyderabad, IIIT Bangalore, IIIT Pune,
IIITM Trivandrum, LMIIIT Jaipur, etc).
Don't blame the media just like that.

28: Its really a wonderful idea.. PPP model can
bring quality education in IIITs and also,
many students will get opportunity to pursue
higher education. Union government should
also prepare some PPP model for IIM and IITs.
