Union Human Resources Development Minister M. M. Pallam Raju will meet Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh on Saturday to discuss a proposal that will take institutions such as the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) and the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) to Qatar.
‘Qatar has attracted some of the prestigious international campuses and requested Indian government to set up elite institutes such as IIT and IIM there… Qatar made a fresh request in this regard during the recent visit of Finance Minister P Chidambramam to that country… During the meeting, the PM is also slated to review progress of some of the new IIT campuses in the country’, sources said.
