The State Government would provide 500 acre of land to the Centre to facilitate the establishment of a Central University in Koraput town, said Higher Education Minister Samir Dey in the State Assembly on Thursday.

Dey on the floor of the Assembly said the Ministry of Human Resources Development has already constituted an inspection committee to identify the land.

“A committee under the Deputy Secretary Sunil Kumar would soon visit the State to examine the lands. After the Committee completes its work, the establishment work for the university would start,” he said, adding that the land would be provided at free of cost.

A serious debate took place during the Question Hour regarding the establishment of the Central University in Koraput.
