The Ministry of Education informed Parliament that while it had received Telangana’s proposal for setting up an IIM, there were no current plans to sanction one for the state. The Centre said that the decisions for new institutions of national importance are made after looking into factors such as regional distribution, educational requirements, availability of resources, and the ongoing higher education system.
Why Has The Centre Declined Telangana's Request?
According to the Ministry of Education, Telangana is home to many higher education and management institutions. The Centre feels the state’s existing educational infrastructure is adequate to meet the needs of management education and there is no need to set up another centrally funded management institute at this point.
The government has asked the Centre to sanction an IIM in Hyderabad, that despite being a major education and technology hub, the state is without an IIM. Chief Minister has also raised the issue during meetings with the Prime Minister and the Union Government, offering land for the proposed institute.
Regional Balance in Higher Education Institutions
The Ministry said that the establishment of new IIMs is not based only on the request from the state, but there are other factors too:
- Regional Balance in Higher Education Institutions
- Existing Management Education Infrastructure
- Availability of Financial and Academic Resources
