Bodhjungnagar is all set to set-up IIIT; Total 20 in pipeline.
Tripura is all set to set-up an Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIIT) in Bodhjungnagar. The identified location for the proposed institute in Bodhjungnagar, is some 25 km from state capital Agartala.
Besides Tripura, the union government has given its nod to set up IIITs in Assam and Rajasthan.
The funding will be borne by the central government 50 percent, state government 35 percent, and industry/private partnership 15 percent.
Tripura's Higher Education Department Secretary Kishore Ambuly stated in an interview that "State-owned ONGC (Oil and Natural Gas Corporation), NEEPCO (Northeastern Electric Power Corporation) and six private industrial houses from West Bengal have expressed willingness to be a partner of the Tripura IIIT. In the northeastern states, industry participation for capital expenditure would be kept at 7.5 percent instead of 15 percent. The central government participation will be at 57.50 percent (instead of 50 percent) while state governments' at 35 percent".
