HIT Education City
HITEC University has been conceived as a part of HIT Education City (HITEC). The city has already established instructional programmes at school and college levels. The main objective of educational programmes has been the preparation of youth who could catalyze a well knit society with accumulation of positive social capital. As a part of the same vision HIT has undertaken the task of establishing a high quality higher education institution in the name of HITEC University. This has become imperative in view of the expanding frontiers of knowledge which have caused intense global competition in economic development. Since HIT itself is involved in high level production of machinery and equipment, it is all the more necessary that it receives research support from a knowledge generating institution for improvement, innovation and development. The proposed University is likely to fulfill this role.

Famous quotes containing the words hit, education and/or city:
“Routine physical punishment such as spanking teaches a toddler that might makes right and that it is fine to hit when one is stronger and can get away with it.”
—Alicia F. Lieberman (20th century)
“Shakespeare, with an improved education and in a more enlightened age, might easily have attained the purity and correction of Racine; but nothing leads one to suppose that Racine in a barbarous age would have attained the grandeur, force and nature of Shakespeare.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
“I hope there will be no effort to put up a shaft or any monument of that sort in memory of me or of the other women who have given themselves to our work. The best kind of a memorial would be a school where girls could be taught everything useful that would help them to earn an honorable livelihood; where they could learn to do anything they were capable of, just as boys can. I would like to have lived to see such a school as that in every great city of the United States.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
