The Employment and Technical Education and Training (ET&ET) on Friday sent a formal proposal to the Union Ministry of Human Resource and Development (HRD) about establishment of the proposed Indian Institute of Management (IIM) in Bhubaneswar.
The Government selected two places on the outskirts of the State capital for the premier institute and asked the Centre to pick any one of them.Sources said adjoining areas of the Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIIT) at Gothpatna and a location near the new campus of Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) at Arugul are the sites chosen by the State Government.
“The proposal which we have sent to the Centre has also been shared with the Indian Institute of Management, Kolkata, which is the mentor of the proposed B-School in Odisha,” official sources said, adding that a Central committee would arrive here in a week to finalise one of the two places.
