Bihar May Lose on IIT and Central Schools: Fatmi

Central Human Resources and Development Minister M. A. Fatmi, on Thursday, said that if the Bihar government failed to provide lands for setting up an Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) and 16 Central Schools, the project may be moved from Bihar to some other states that are keen on providing the required lands for the project.

Three Central Schools earlier slated for Raxaul, Nawada, and Madhepura have already gone to other states and if the Nitish government does not act fast, the state may lose other 16 schools and the IIT as well, Fatmi said.

Orissa and Gujarat are also demanding for IITs and if the state does not move fast enough, Bihar may miss out on it for a long time, he said.
