HRD Ministry okays IIT, IIM, 3 central univs for Seemandhra

The HRD Ministry has given its nod for an IIT, an IIM and three central universities among other institutes for the Seemandhra region which has witnessed widespread resentment over the Centre's decision to bifurcate Andhra Pradesh.

The Ministry has conveyed its decision to the Home Ministry which had forwarded representations made by different stakeholders to it earlier in response to the GoM on Telangana inviting suggestions on bifurcation of the state.

The decision would be placed before the GoM for consideration, sources in the Ministry said.

The ministry has also cleared an IISER and an IIIT for the region.

The move is aimed at striking a balance between the two regions -- Telangana and Seemandhra -- as far as establishment of premier institutes are concerned, though the end objective is to ensure that students derive maximum benefit, they said.

Rough estimate suggests an investment in the range of Rs 6000 to Rs 7000 crore for establishment of the institutes in the Seemandhra region.

The ministry's decision assumes significance as the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh will leave the Seemandhra region without any of the elite higher educational institutes which are mostly concentrated in Hyderabad in the Telangana region.

HRD Minister M M Pallam Raju represents the Kakinanda constituency in Seemandhra.

In their representation, various stakeholders had suggested that all central institutions in Seemandhra should be backed by a bill and all national parties should sign it.

"Most of the highly developed educational institutions are going to the state of Telangana. The Centre should immediately grant the above said institutions and they should come into operation within a year," the representations said.

Centre May Allocate IIT and IIM To Seemandhra

With an aim of placating people of Seemandhra, Centre may allocate elite educational institutions like IIT, IIM and NIT to the region which has witnessed widespread resentment over its decision to bifurcate Andhra Pradesh.

Highly-placed sources in the HRD Ministry said a decision in this regard could be soon conveyed to the Home Ministry which had forwarded representations made by different stakeholders to it in response to the GoM on Telangana inviting suggestion on bifurcation of the state

The suggestions included establishment of an IIT in Visakhapatnam, an IIM at Vijayawada and conversion of the Andhra Pradesh University in Visakhapatnam into a central university.

The bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh will leave the Seemandhra region without any of these institutes as all of them are concentrated in Hyderabad in the Telangana region.

The representation also states that all central institutions should be backed by a bill and all national parties should sign it.

Distance Education Degree Equivalent to Regular Degree

The University Grants Commission (UGC) has highlighted that degrees, diplomas and certificates awarded for programmes conducted by the Open and Distance Learning (ODL) institutions recognised by erstwhile Distance Education Council (DEC) be treated equivalent to corresponding awards of traditional universities and institutions of the country.

In a notice issued recently, UGC has highlighted that the ODL education system of the country was contributing to the expansion of higher education and to achieve the target of Gross-Enrollment Ratio (GER) without compromising with the quality.

The Ministry of Human Resource Development, in Decemeber last year, had vested regulatory functions of DEC with UGC, by dissolving the former. UGC is in the process of framing new regulations for distance education.

"Non-recognition and non-equivalence of degrees of ODL institutions for the purpose of promotion, employment and pursuing higher education may prove a deterrent for people and will defeat the purpose of open and distance education," the notification further read.

In May 2004, UGC had issued a circular stating that degrees, diplomas and certificates awarded by open universities be treated equivalent to corresponding awards of traditional universities in the country.

The Commission through the letter issued on July 28, 1993, laid the foundation for mobility of students from open universities to traditional universities and institutions for recognition of degrees and diplomas as well as transfer of credit for courses successfully completed by students from the types of universities.
