Dear Honorable Chief Minister Mr. Patnaik,
It is very unfortunate to realize that when Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) of the central Govt. and University authorities are willing to establish regional campus of Indira Gandhi National Tribal University at Amarkantak, negligence and irresponsible behavior of Higher Education Department of Odisha state Government is obstructing higher educational development particular meant for tribal population of the state.
This is well proven from the very recent information obtained from the authority of Indira Gandhi National Tribal University (IGNTU) at Amarkantak through RTI acts which clearly points out that
“IGNTU at Amarkantak has already received a proposal from MHRD to open a regional campus at Kalahandi vide letter no. 41-1/2012-Desk (U) dated 27-04-2012. As per the policy of the University State Government was informed vide letter Ref. No. IGNTU/Reg/491/2010 dated 24.8.2010 to provide infrastructure facilities like a minimum of 300 acres of land, approach road and electricity supply and accordingly the state Govt. was asked to facilitate with the infrastructure facilities, no response was received from the state Government. As such the proposal is still pending with the state Government of Odisha.”
Copy of the letter is attached for your kind perusal.
Pointe to be noted that Addl. District Magistrate Kalahandi had already informed to the F.A.-cum-Addl. Secretary to Government, Department of Higher Education of Odisha Government citing availability of the suitable Govt. land in in Th. Rampur for the same purpose on 12.10.2010. The copy of the said letter is also attached for your examination.
However, it seems after receiving the letter from the Addl. District Magistrate Kalahandi, Higher Education Department has kept this letter in cold storage without forwarding the same to the MHRD and the Universities authorities at Amarkantak for future action.
It is catastrophic that instead of catalyzing educational development of the state, specifically in a tribal dominated backward region like Thuamul Rampur and for tribal population of the state, the carelessness of state Govt., especially Higher Education Department is delaying such possibilities in the state.
Your kind pro-active action is immediately urged to recommend the identified land in Thuamul Rampur to the IGNTU at Amarkantak and MHRD to establish the regional campus of IGNTU at Kalahandi as per MHRD directive as soon as possible.
Thank you and best regards
Digambara Patra
