Human Resource Development Minister Prakash Javadekar on Monday introduced a bill in the Lok Sabha to make Indian Institute of Information Technology Design and Manufacturing (IIITDM) - Kurnool an Institute of National Importance.
The Indian Institute of Information Technology (Amendment) Bill, 2017, will amend the Indian Institute of Information Technology Act, 2014.
The IIITDM - Kurnool (Andhra Pradesh) will be the fifth member as a centrally-funded IIIT.
Once it becomes an Institute of National Importance, IITDM will have power to award degrees to students.
The Indian Institutes of Information Technology Act, 2014, confers the status of Institutions of National Importance on the IIITs and also provides for matters connected with administering these IIITs.
