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.

Famous quotes containing the word origin:
“All good poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquillity.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
“Someone had literally run to earth
In an old cellar hole in a byroad
The origin of all the family there.
Thence they were sprung, so numerous a tribe
That now not all the houses left in town
Made shift to shelter them without the help
Of here and there a tent in grove and orchard.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
