Origin
In the 11th five-year plan, the Ministry of Human Resources Development (HRD), Manmohan Singh government had proposed to set up several premier technical institutes, across the country to produce world class talent pool in science, engineering, management which would contribute strongly towards economic development of the state where they are located as well as the nation. The then HRD Minister, Arjun Singh proposed setting up three new IITs, three IISERs, the five new IIMs, twenty new IIITs and four new SPAs which would receive direct funding from the central government instead of relying on smaller budgets through their state and local governments. Media reports reveal that the distribution of these institutions across the states is highly oblique and majorly depends on the political influence of the state.
