All the three MPs from Tripura have demanded setting up of two prestigious institutions - Indian Institute of Management (IIM) and Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in the state for imparting quality education.
"The MPs, including me, Jharna Das Baidya and Shankar Prasad Dutta met the Union HRD Minister Smriti Irani on December 23 and pursued the proposal of Tripura Government to set up an IIM and an IIT in the state," MP Jitendra Chaudhury told PTI.
"The Minister has told us that her department was going through financial crunch, but she will definitely recommend the proposal to the Finance Ministry for consideration in the next financial year and expressed her keenness on development of North East," Chaudhury added.
