Of the Southern states, AP, Tamilnadu, Maharashtra and now Kerala are having/going to have IITs. Why there is no institution identified of the calibre of proposed new IITs In Karnataka.. and suitably accorded recognition for development and funding Higher Education in the State of Karnataka.
This is what is called politicking in Education.. About which the HRD minister (Cong) is good at it.. This should be left to academic council of IITs to decide upon expansion of IITs.. Govt should only be concerned with funding and broad functional guidlines/objectives.
