IIM Trichy - Update on functioning from Bharathidasan University
New Delhi, Jan 27: Pushing its proposal to set up the first Indian Institute of Management (IIM) in Kashmir, Human Resources Development (HRD) ministry has sought views from various ministries and departments on security and other aspects.
The HRD ministry has written to the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), Finance Ministry and Planning Commission seeking their comments on security, feasibility and location for setting up the IIM in the valley, sources said here today.
The HRD, in its letter dated January 22, has said that the views should be furnished within 15 days, failing which it would be assumed that they have no comments to make, they said.
The views of the MHA have been sought to ensure that an appropriate location with proper security environment is chosen for the first B-school in the valley where militancy still exists, the sources said.
"The MHA is the appropriate agency to guide the HRD Ministry in deciding the location for establishment of the proposed IIM in Jammu and Kashmir, which has been witnessing terror violence," an official of the HRD ministry said.
Comments from the Finance Ministry and Planning Commission have been sought over the financial aspects of the ambitious project.
The government had last year decided to set up six IIMs in the states of Tamil Nadu, Jammu and Kashmir, Jharkhand, Chhattishgarh, Uttarakhand and Haryana.
These IIMs were proposed to be started from this year.
As per the government's norms, the states will have to provide land for the IIMs, while the HRD Ministry will take care of the expenditure for construction of infrastructure and and other aspects.
Jammu and Kashmir is yet to decide the possible locations for the institute.
"Once we get the MHA views, the state government will be accordingly asked to choose the site," the official said.
