Cabinet clears proposal for setting up national institute in Knowledge City
Abstract:
The Union Cabinet gave a formal approval for the setting up of a National Agri-Food Biotechnology Institute (NABI) in the upcoming Knowledge City in Sector 81. The decision was taken at a cabinet meeting in New Delhi on Thursday.
It will be the fourth premier institute in the city after the National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research (NIPER), the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) and the Indian Institute of Nanotechnology (IIN).
While the NIPER, which is the first institute of the country to be set up in Mohali, is functioning from its campus in Sector 67, the IISER is functioning from its transit campus at the Mahatma Gandhi State Institute of Public Administration (MGSIPA) in Sector 26, Chandigarh, since August last year. The IIN, meanwhile, is all set to start functioning from the next academic session onwards. The MGSIPA and the Habitat Centre, Sector 64, have been identified as the transit campus of the IIN for accommodating its classes and hostel.
