Where Should Incoming IIT go in Bihar?
Now Bihar state will get an IIT in the name of a central institute of higher education and research. The dream came true after many decades. After highlight of regional imbalance in the distribution of reputed institutes of S&T central government is trying to minimize prevailing disparity by opening some new institutes of national reputes in backward and ignored states. Among the ignored state Bihar and Rajasthan is at the top. Opening of an IIT in Bihar will certainly open new avenues and bring more central funds for higher education in the state.
After the announcement by the Central Government to open an IIT in Bihar, there started debate in many Bihari groups on the place of establishment. Where should it be established in Bihar? The question is natural as in Bihar too the disparity in distribution of educational institutes is too much. However, it will be not clear unless state government does not come to decide, so from different groups of people there were emerging many guesses about places like Patna, Hajipur(Vaishali), Darbhanga etc. Of course many might have first choice as Patna. The matter gets more localized when there came news related to location of the IIT in Bihar by the central government. As per letter by MHRD to the state government, the spot selected for setting up the prestigious institute should have approximately 600 acres and be well connected by road, rail and air.

So far as transportation facility is concerned Patna will be better choice but to acquire land of 600 acres will be cumbersome. However, establishment of IIT in Patna will be a worst choice keeping in view developing face of the state. Patna has already many engineering institutes such as National Institute of Technology, an extension center of BIT Mesra Ranchi, and many private engineering colleges. In the near future, a state run university will become a central university and for that race Patna University is on top. There is also a national level institute of law at Patna. In Nalanda there will be an international university. So certainly it will be not a wise decision to open an IIT in or very near to Patna. It should go outside the Patna in the areas like Vaishali (Hajipur, Goraul), Muzaffarpur or Darbhanga. Specially, Goraul has road and train connectivity and government can acquire land around Charvaha Vidayalaya, a useless and irrelevant area situated in front of main road, to build an IIT. It is also not far from airport Patna. Establishing IIT in Patna will again create imbalance distribution of educational institutes in Bihar as is prevailing in the country.
While deciding place, the government should also consider minimizing the wanted land. Instead of expanding the institute horizontally, government should plan to expand it up. There are many other countries which have not so much land resources, such as Japan, and running many institutes like IIT in the lesser area. Fortunately our country is spacious but we should build our institutions keeping in view our populations and required land for agriculture too in future. I am sure some special planning to expand institute vertically will bring handsome reduction in the required land area. Source- Patnadaily.com
