Haryana is all set to play host to northern region’s first Indian Institute of Management (IIM) which is proposed to be located in village Garnawati in Rohtak district. The project is likely to catalyse an investment of over Rs 200 crore and will be funded by the Central government. The country’s most reputed management education institution — IIM, once approved to be developed in Rohtak, will be amongst the first out of the seven new IIMs sanctioned by the Centre in the 11th Five Year Plan.
The decks have been cleared by the state government with the submission of proposal to the union ministry of human resources development for setting up of an IIM in Haryana. However, the Union ministry gave conditional approval to the project, subject to availability of suitable land for the purpose. Now the state is awaiting final approval from the ministry, which has constituted its own site selection committee. “The committee is expected to visit the site soon and will give its consent to the proposal,” Haryana financial commissioner-cum-principal secretary (technical education) Ajit Mohan Sharan said. He added the central government is seeking recommendations about the location and the feasibility of the project. Ajit said, “The state’s site selection committee has identified about 200 acres of land for the IIM which will be passed on to the government of India. The location has been selected after keeping in mind factors like easy accessibility, development of social and cultural infrastructure etc. The land belongs to the Gram Panchayat hence there is no problem of rehabilitation of people. Also there won’t be any diversion of agricultural land since there are sand dunes spread all over.”
“Since things will be clear by the end of this year, the batches for the new IIM might begin in any of the existing IIMs from the next session. It all depends upon the strategy of the HRD ministry,” said Ajit.
