 NEW DELHI, March 12 – In an encouraging development, Ministry of Human Resources Development has proposed to set up medical studies faculties in all Central Universities of the Northeast during the 11th Plan period albeit subject to availability of funds. The NE States have six Central Universities and currently legislation has been enacted for establishment of three more Central institutes, Minister of State for HRD, D Purandeswari said in a Rajya Sabha reply.

The University Grants Commission provides funds to Central Universities in NER besides faculties of management and engineering.

However, the Minister declined to identify any particular reason for the mass exodus of students out of the NER for studies. It is not clear that they do so because the required facilities are not available in the north-eastern States.

There are already six Central Universities, North Eastern Regional Institute of Science and Technology at Itanagar, Indian Institute of Technology at Guwahati, National Institute of Technology at Silchar and Agartala. A proposal has been approved to set up Indian Institute of Management at Shillong, the Minister said.
