CM Naveen Patnaik's letter to the PM on 29th Sept 2005
D.O.No UM.1/05-491/CM
Dated 29.09.2005
Dear Prime Minister Ji:
Kindly refer to my D.O. letter No UM.1/05-421/CM., Dated 23.08.2005
regarding establishment of National Institute of Sciences at
Bhubaneswar. As I had mentioned, Orissa was favoured with
establishment of the National Institute of Sciences which was
communicated to us by the Chairman, University Grants Comission vide
their letter No. F-1-74/2003(CM) dated 23.7.2003 and accordingly my
Government had gone ahead for selection of a suitable site for the
same. In the meantime, the site has already been selected. It is
worth mentioning that in the past Orissa has not been favoured with
either an IIT or IIM or any other Central University. The current
spurt in the industrial activity in the State makes it a deserving
location for establishment of National Institute of Sciences at
Bhubaneswar.
I would, therefore, request you to kindly take immediate steps for
establishment of National Institute of Sciences at Bhubaneswar for
which Government of India had given definite commitment and any
deviation at this stage would bring wide spread discontentment among
the people of the state.
with regards
yours sincerely
Naveen Patnaik
