Chandigarh: Fourteen
innovation universities would be set up in the country during the
12th Five Year Plan, Union Minister of State for Planning, Science
and Technology and Earth Sciences Ashwani Kumar said here Tuesday.
Addressing media here with Haryana chief minister Bhupinder Singh
Hooda, Kumar said that he has asked the Haryana government to send
a proposal to set up one such university in Haryana as it is
already developing an Education City in Sonipat district.
Kumar was on a visit to Chandigarh Tuesday and he reviewed the
programmes of Haryana and plan priorities of the state. The visit
precedes the meeting of the Haryana government with the Planning
Commission April 25 for the state's annual plan discussion.
Kumar said that the education hub being set up by Haryana at
Kundli, 50 km from New Delhi, would not only benefit Haryana but
the whole of North India. He assured of central help for the
education hub.
