Committee search for oasis to set up IIT

Jaipur: A committee headed by Vijay Shankar Vyas, former chairman of the Institute of Development Studies, Jaipur along with L K Maheshwari, vice-chancellor, BITS, Pilani, Vishwananth Sinha, professor and advisor, LNMIT, and Parvindra Singh, principal secretary (higher) and technical education of Rajasthan will visit all the six divisional headquarters in the state and a few districts to find an ideal location to set up the Indian Institute of Technology, Rajasthan (IIT).

The high power committee appointed by the State Government will also find ideal locations to establish an Indian Institute of Management (IIM), a central university and a world-class university in Rajasthan.

The Ministry of Human Resource Development has approved an IIM and a world class university during this year's budget session. The ministry had already sanctioned an IIT and central to the state.

The proposed world-class university in Rajasthan will be based on the recommendations of the Knowledge Commission.

The committee will submit its report on June 15.

"Availability of land and amenities will be taken into consideration before selecting the site for institution of higher learning," said a committee member.

The IIT-Rajasthan has already commenced from last year at the campus of the IIT-Kanpur, the mentor institute of the IIT-Rajasthan.

The other three institutes, however, have not started enrolments, which is likely to happen only after the locations are finalized.
