The capital of Uttar Pradesh is gradually emerging as an important place for higher education. This change is visible with the coming of the Indian Institute of Management (IIM-L) in Lucknow in 1984. Then in 2006, Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia came to National Law University. The youngest institute to join this league is the Indian Institute of Information Technology, Lucknow (IIITL), which made its mark with 50 students in the session 2015-16 and has become an important center of learning in the field of information and technology. It will be a proud moment for the students graduating from IIIT Lucknow to receive the degree and medal from President Draupadi Murmu, which is going to be held on Tuesday i.e. today. This is the second convocation of the institute, in which President Murmu will attend as the chief guest. Meanwhile, IIIT Lucknow Director AM Sherry said that this institute is one of the 20 IIITs established by the Central Government in Public Private Partnership (PPP) mode. IIIT Lucknow now provides all the facilities to its students, which can help them move ahead and serve the country.
There is a better environment for higher education in the city- Former Professor Bharat
Bharat Bhaskar, director of IIM Ahmedabad and former professor of IIIT Lucknow, said that the arrival of these educational institutions in Lucknow is an indication that there is a better environment for higher education in the city. This is a big benefit for the state’s economy. When students come from all corners of India to study here, it gives a cosmopolitan look to the campus. To advance higher education, coordination between these campuses is necessary. Meanwhile, Professor Balraj Chauhan, former Vice Chancellor of Ram Manohar Lohia National Law University (RMlNLU), said that it is very important to have good institutions because if a country has to progress at a fast pace then it needs trained and skilled hands. I am happy that Lucknow is getting good institutions and hope that more good institutions will open in the coming days.
Establishment of IIIT Lucknow
Let us tell you that IIIT Lucknow was established as a center of excellence in the field of Information Technology to enhance the technological strength of India with the financial contribution of the Union Ministry of Education, State Government and industry partners of UP Electronics Corporation Limited. Indian Institute of Management-Lucknow is the fourth among the prestigious IIM family of management schools to be established in India after IIM Calcutta, IIM Ahmedabad and IIM Bangalore. IIM Lucknow has directly or indirectly impacted the lives of millions of people through its faculty, alumni and support staff. The institute prepares its students as value-driven leaders, managers and global players. In 2005, IIML expanded its sphere of influence in the field of management education by becoming the first IIM to set up a satellite campus exclusively for executive education in Noida in the National Capital Region (NCR) of Delhi.
Lucknow also included in the race for higher education
Let us tell you that Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia National Law University was established in 2005 by an Act of the Government of Uttar Pradesh. It came into existence in January 2006 to face new challenges in the legal field and to strengthen the vision given by the establishment of the country’s first National Law University. Apart from this, the city also has many other institutions like Sanjay Gandhi Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences, King Geroge Medical University, Lucknow University, Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar (Central) University and Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Technical University, which set a new record . This institute has given a new identity to Lucknow in the field of medical, technology and higher education.
