So far SDIs are located in (see https://www.hsscindia.in/skill-development-institute/ )

Indian Institute of Skills are planned for (see https://www.msde.gov.in/en/schemes-initi...kills-IISs for the scheme)

  Vedanta University land acquisition case in the Supreme Court
Posted by: Chitta - 04-13-2023, 12:06 AM - Forum: Higher Education - Replies (1)

The Supreme court gave its judgment. The whole judgment is at https://images.assettype.com/barandbench...nd_ors.pdf . A news item on that is at https://www.barandbench.com/news/litigat...ity-odisha . Following is an excerpt.


Quote:Supreme Court confirms quashing of 6,000 acre land acquisition for Vedanta University in Odisha

A bench of Justices MR Shah and Krishna Murari also imposed costs of ₹5 lakh on the appellant, Vedanta's Anil Agarwal Foundation, to be deposited with the Odisha State Legal Services Authority within 6 weeks.


That sounds like the end of the story of this effort. Reading through the judgment, one can see a series of mistakes made by the state government, while trying to do this in a hurry. For a project of this magnitude, and to be done by a controversial company, this should have been done extremely carefully. For that the government needed capable administrators supported by capable lawyers.
