Talk:Higher education controversy in Odisha

Is this a propaganda
Well, looking at references it seems valid. But why this article is Orissa specific. There are many states that don't have IITs. And how IITs have benefited a state overall? The admissions procedure don't have reservation for state students, neither state government funds IIT, nor revenue is given back to state government. Students, professors come from allover India. The only benefit is to the small area where it is located and generates job- opportunity for local residents. Then why this issue has been raised for Orissa. I'm not against Orissa, but against this unnecessary Wikipedia article as this might not be a national level news. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ankitasdeveloper (talk • contribs) 06:35, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Because the agitation started in 1950s when the first IIT which Nehru planned for Orissa was shifted to Kharagpur. Also because Orissa ranked at the bottom in central govt investment from 1950s until 2006. NSUI took up the cause and rioted. BJP made it a big parliamentary issue. There were riots. US professors wrote editorial articles about it. It became a very controversial issue. J1a2y3a4d5e6v7a8 (talk) 18:00, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

WP:INDIA Banner/Orissa Addition
Note: WP India Project Banner with Orissa workgroup parameters was added to this article talk page because the article falls under Category:Orissa or its subcategories. Should you feel this addition is inappropriate, please undo my changes and update/remove the relavent categories to the article -- Amartyabag   TALK2ME  07:21, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Outdated???
The article was developed and started 2007-08, when most of the Central institutions were not into existence. However, in last 5-6 years, IIT, NISER, Central University of Orissa, AIIMS, few other research institutions were formed in Odisha. I think as it seems it is no longer a current issue, the article might be appropriately named, a section on the later developments to make it more neutral, and changing of the tense need to be done, so that it does not look like an ongoing controversy. Comments and thoughts will be appreciated. Amartyabag  TALK2ME  04:02, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
 * This article does not seem to be encyclopedic. At the best, this topic could have been elaborated in a section in Education in Orissa, as it is now in section titled "Former central government neglect of Odisha".--GDibyendu (talk) 18:34, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
