Odisha is one among five destinations for new Manipal universities

Following is an excerpt from http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/2011-07-08/news/29751942_1_universities-manipal-group-students.

Manipal Group is in active talks with Gujarat and Orissa governments for setting up universities in these states. This is part of group’s plan to have a footprint in all parts of the country. The chain plans to roll out five universities in next five years.

Manipal Group advisor – strategy and development – Sudhakar Rao told ET that all these universities would ideally come up across 200-300 acres each with a total investment of over Rs 6500 crores.

"We have identified Bangalore, Orissa, Gujarat, Haryana and National Capital Region (NCR) for the proposed universities. While land for Bangalore is finalised, we have initiated talks with Gujarat and Orissa governments for land and permissions. Other proposed universities are in conceptual stage," he said.

The Manipal group runs 200 courses including engineering, humanities, management, medicine and allied health sciences with four operational universities – Manipal University, Sikkim Manipal University, American University of Antigua and Manipal International University in Malaysia. Recently, the chain has launched its university in Jaipur which would be spread across 300 acres with an estimated investment of Rs 1200 crore over next five years.

… As per group’s plan, a university in Orissa will cater to the needs of students on eastern region, Gujarat university will cover the western region, Bangalore will absorb the spill over of southern region while NCR and Haryana universities will fulfill the educational needs of north and central regions.

"Each of these universities will be built to have 25,000 students on campus by its 10th year of operation. We also plan a university in Jharkhand. But it will come up in next phase," he said.

Odisha government should help them so that their Odisha plan happens smoothly. Any hurdles and they will focus on the other locations.
