On the side we mention in which counseling the seats got filled up and what are left. [Please note that when we mention that a certain branch got filled up in the range, say, 800-1200 that means it got filled in some rank in between that. It could have been filled up in rank 801 or rank 1200. I just don’t have the data to make that distinction.]

Director of the farmers’ cooperative’s Paradip unit K L Singh …
"The farmers of Orissa will be given training on best crop practices in cereals, pulses, oilseeds, horticultural crops, fruit preservation, fish farming, dairy and poultry, maintenance of agricultural equipment and bee keeping," Singh said.
The training institute would have boarding and lodging facilities. Farmers would be provided free of cost facilities here, he said.
The director said the cooperative aims to train at least 50,000 farmers a year, which would be increased to 1,00,000 in a phased manner.
"IFFCO will do extensive analysis of soil samples through this institute for improving soil health and productivity of crops with balanced and integrated use of nutrients," Singh said.
The activities will include farmers’ meetings, field demonstrations, crop seminars, soil testing campaign, seed multiplication programme and sugarcane development programme, he added.
Sources in the State Government told The Hindu that apart from the assurances on several agricultural and infrastructure sector programmes, Mr. Kumaraswamy also extracted a positive response from the Prime Minister on the establishm ent of an Indian Institute of Technology and a Central university in the State as part of a one-on-one discussion which he had with Dr. Manmohan Singh. The Chief Minister told the Prime Minister that the State Government would provide 1,200 acres of land in Hassan for the establishment of the IIT and the requisite land for starting a Central university at Gulbarga or any other part of the State.
(Please don’t read anything from the categorization. It was initially based on my familiarity with people. I started off with the CS faculty list as I knew a lot of them. …)
Following is an initial list of professors of Orissa origin in the areas of Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, and related disciplines that are in universities outside India:
Chitta Baral (myself), Arizona State University, USA
The reduction of the Vedanta Univ land requirement comes from eliminating the airstrip that was part of the original plan. This is mentioned in Pragativadi’s report on the topic. Following are some excerpts.
The group has also decided to withdraw its proposed airstrip inside the proposed varsity premises.
…
But as the state government faced problems in the land acquisition, the Group has decided to withdraw its proposed airstrip within the proposed varsity premises while agreeing for 6270 acres of land of which 5,500 acre are private lands and the rest 770 acres are government lands.
This is a good compromise on the part of Vedanta. In 10-15 years the Bhubaneswar area will need a bigger airport and at that time it could be made closer to Puri and thus serve Vedanta University adequately.
However, both the Orissa government and the Vedanta University people must take steps to have international flights from/to Bhubaneswar. Without that there will be a problem for Vedanta University to recruit top researchers and research companies.
To improve the quality of engineering colleges in Orissa, IIIT Bhubaneswar should offer weekend M.tech for Engineering College faculty. This will be similar to weekend MBAs offered to working executives at many universities in the USA. To encourage the private engineering colleges to send their faculty for M.Tech Orissa government and BPUT should decide the fees amount based on how many faculty with M.tech (or pursuing M.tech) or more a particular college has.

BARIPADA, Aug 3:- Taking note of the persistent demand and the need for establishment of medical colleges in north Orissa districts, Dr Ramesh Chandra Chaupattnaik Chyau Patnaik who heads the Standing Committee of the assembly said he will recommend setting up of two medical colleges at Balasore and Mayurbhanj districts. He strongly felt that the district headquarter hospital at Baripada was a suitable place for a medical college with 300 beds and other infrastructure. He said as per the population at least three to four more medical colleges were necessary in the state.
A Kashmir news paper mentions this. However, In Orissa there has not been any recent news on the establishment of a DAIICT (Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information & Communication Technology) campus. Last year there was such a proposal as part of a package related to the Anil Ambani group’s investment in Orissa; but that is stalled due to dispute between the Orissa government and a power company partly owned by the Anil Ambani group.

(CC-69) Creating a World University in India
Presenters: Adam A. Gross, Principal, Ayers/Saint/Gross Architects & Planners; Roshni Thomas
Vedanta University is an ambitious project to establish India’s first world-class, comprehensive, research-driven university. Supported by an endowment gift of $1 billion from industrialist and philanthropist Anil Agarwal, Vedanta will be starting construction in 2007. This session will cover the steps to create the academic model and physical plan for this new world university.
… At Friday’s meeting, it was decided that the land requirements for the university would be reduced. It has been decided that 6,270 acres of land would be given to the Vedanta group to set up its university instead of its earlier demand of 8,000 acres of land. The Vedanta group has agreed to the Government’s suggestion. Out if it, 5,500 acre of land is private land and the rest 770 acres are Government lands. Only 150 families would be displaced for the project. The land would be acquired from 18 villages.
The Vedanta group has also agreed to abide by the R& R policy of the State Government. Meanwhile, it has deposited Rs 27 crore before the Puri district administration for the land acquisition process.
It has been decided that Government would provide 1,500 acres of land to the Vedanta group in the first phase. So far, the State Government has provided 300 acres of land. The company officials said after they got a minimum of 1,500 acres of land, they would soon initiate the project.
In the first phase, the Government would start constructing four lanes to connect the University from both Puri and Konark sides.
As regards the 100-hospital 1000 bed hospital project the Vedanta group said the project would be started after September 15.
As per the plan, the Vedanta group would set up its international standard university by 2020 and it would invest Rs 15,000 crore for the purpose.
The construction work of multi-billion dollar Vedanta University at Puri in Orissa will start in September.
The university, modelled on internationally famed campuses like Oxford and Stanford, is being set up under the aegis of the Anil Agrawal Foundation. The project, in its full scale, is estimated at about Rs 15,000 crore.
The first phase work of the project, comprising the construction of a medical college and super speciality hospital, will start in September, said A K Samal, vice-president (Commercial and projects), Vedanta Resources, here.
Talking to reporters after a review meeting chaired by Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik, he said the project was progressing in accordance with the plan. …
The acquisition of private land for the project has started and the company is hopeful of taking possession of 1,500 acres before September, when the first phase of construction is scheduled to start.
Ruling out any problem in land acquisition, Samal said there was no problem of displacement. Only 150 families are likely to be displaced and they will be resettled in accordance with the policy of the state government. The company has already deposited Rs.27crore for the first phase of land acquisition.
Vedanta university, which will provide teaching and research facilities in engineering, humanities, pure science, medicine and other frontier subjects, will come up in phases.
The full project is expected to complete by 2020. However, the first batch of admission is slated to start from the academic session 2009-10, Samal said.
Regarding the designs of the proposed university, he said, the entire architecture for the university and the hospital is being prepared by California based Roshni Thomas. ‘The building will be modern and the designs will be based on Indian traditions’, Thomas, who was present in the review meeting, said.
Orissa chief secretary Ajit Kumar Tripathy said the progress of the project is satisfactory. He said like other universities of the state, the government will enact a separate legislations on Vedanta University and Ravishankar University.
Besides, the government is considering to enact an umbrella legislation for such universities which may come in future. He made it explicit that there will not be any environmental and rehabilitation problem for the project.
The Anil Agarwal Foundation (AAF), promoted by Vedant Resources Chairman Anil Agarwal, will commence the work of its 1000 bedded most modern hospital in Orissa during this September.The project, which also envisaged a Medical College, was a part of its first phase of Rs 15,000 crore world class multi-disciplinary Vedant University in the state. …
He later agreed to a proposal of chief minister Naveen Patnaik to set up a modern hospital and focus on research and treatment on cancer, heart ailments and diabetis.
… Official sources said the state government has handed over 300 acres of land to the AAF to start the construction work of the Hospital and Medical College.
The salaries offered in this ad are very low. One may jump to the conclusion that that is primarily responsible for the bad status of teaching at government schools. Thats not 100% true though. Many private schools with supposedly better teaching also offer similar salaries. However, when one applies to a private school one applies to a particular school. So often educated women may agree to be a teacher in a nearby private school at low salaries. In case of BSE it is probably different as the particular school where one is appointed is probably decided by BSE. Thus a well educated, financially secure and teaching minded woman may go to a nearby private school at a low salary but she would rarely take chances with BSE. So BSE, if it is not doing that already, should recruit on a school by school basis and offer higher salaries for schools where fewer people prefer to go.
