IIIT in West Bengal
The central government has approved the plan to set up an Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIIT) in West Bengal, the state’s Information Technology Minister Debesh Das said on Thursday.
“The government of West Bengal has got an IIIT. The centre has sanctioned our proposal for setting up of the IIIT,” Das said while addressing the inaugural ceremony of INFOCOM here.
“The centre will provide 50 percent of the cost, state will provide 35 percent and the rest will come from the industry,” he added.
He, however, did not give details of the project.
