invites online proposals for opening of new institutions by various
stakeholders including State Governments with different courses by a
fixed cutoff date for a particular academic year. The approval is
granted to the suitable proposals complying with the AICTE norms
before the commencement of the Academic Year for which these proposals
are received. Also, the Government has approved setting up of 20 new
Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIITs) on PPP basis.
Various State Governments have expressed willingness to set IIITs on
PPP basis. The setting up of IIITs in a state would depend upon the
response received from the State Governments and interest shown by
industry. In additional to this, under the scheme of 'Sub-mission on
Polytechnics under coordinated Action for Skill Development' the
Government provides an one time financial assistance of upto 12.30
crore per polytechnic in phases to the state/UT Governments.
This information was given by the Minister of State for Human Resource
Development Dr. D. Purandeswari, in a written reply to a question, in
the Lok Sabha today.
