New Delhi: A bill to grant statutory status to the Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs) in PPP mode was passed by the Lok Sabha on Wednesday, with the government saying the fees for the poor students will not increase and that reservation law will apply there.
The IIIT (Public-Private Partnership) Bill, 2017 seeks to grant statutory status to 15 IIITs and declare them as 'Institutions of National Importance'.
Contending that the bill would have far-reaching implications on the engineering education system, he urged the government to reframe it to address issues related to teaching faculty and students.
RSP's N K Premachandran said he was opposing the principle of public private partnership in higher education as such initiatives could result in downtrodden students not getting the best education.
Jose K Mani (Kerala Cong-M) mentioned that thousands of IT graduate students are jobless and also wanted to know about the role of private players in PPP institutions in higher education.
P D Rai (SDF), Arvind Sawant (Shiv Sena), B Vinod Kumar (TRS), Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury (Cong), Kaushalendra Kumar (JD- U), Dushyant Chautala (INLD), Jaiprakash Narayan Yadav (RJD), Butta Renuka (YSR Cong) and Gajendra Singh Shekhawat (BJP) also spoke.
