Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda laid the foundation stone of an integrated campus to be constructed at a cost of Rs 121 crore here today.

The campus will comprise four institutes, including the State Institute of Design and Fashion Technology, State Institute of Film and TV, State Institute of Fine Arts and State Institute of Professional Studies for Women.

Hooda said all these institutes would be constructed on the pattern of national-level institutes. He said the youth would get training on the pattern of National Institute of Fashion Technology, National Film and TV Institution, Pune, and Delhi College of Arts.

He said these institutions were being developed as autonomous institutions with full autonomy from the very first day.

He said the admission for the first batch would start from July next.

Hooda said 85 per cent seats in these institutions would be reserved for students of the state. He said 18 acres costing Rs 3.84 crore had been given by the panchayat of Makroli village for the construction of residential premises.

He said a seven-storey building would be constructed near these training institutes having all required facilities, including library, computer centre and an auditorium.

As many as 90 seats would be made available in the TV and Film Institute while a total of 180 seats would be made available in the Fashion and Technology Institute. Similarly, the Institute of Fine Arts would have 180 seats (30 each in BFA applied arts, BFA painting, BFA graphics and print making, BFA sculpture, BFA applied arts, BFA painting).

The Chief Minister said a special thrust was being given to promote technical education in the state so that ample opportunities of employment could be generated.

For this, the budget of the Technical Education Department had been increased five times. Similarly, the number of seats in technical institutes of the state had been increased to 87,000 from 23,000.
