Planned IIT Goa campus to relocate after village protests
A permanent campus of the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in the western Indian state of Goa has hit a roadblock as the government abandoned its plan to build the campus at Melaulim village in the face of widespread protests from area residents and a major clash with police.
The Goa government on 15 January announced that the new IIT campus would be shifted to another, as yet undecided, location in the state. But the events this month could also jeopardise Goa’s bid to become a higher education hub in the country.
