The state government originally earmarked land in Shel-Melaulim hamlet in Sattari taluka of North Goa district for the proposed IIT campus. However, following protests, the plan was dropped.
A new IIT campus would be built in Goa’s south, according to the chief minister of Goa. For the future IIT campus, the government is currently looking for a suitable plot of land.
The IIT campus was originally intended to be built on land specified by the state government in Shel-Melaulim hamlet in Sattari taluka of North Goa district; however, the proposal was later postponed in 2021 as a consequence of violent local protests.
Later, another plot of land in the South Goa district’s Sanguem taluka near Cotarli was found; however, because it was insufficient, the project was abandoned last year. The subject was covered during the Goa Assembly’s most recent winter session.
The IIT campus will be established in South Goa, Sawant told reporters on Monday. There is a search for the land. In the state Assembly, the chief minister had earlier claimed that certain people were protesting the purchase of land for the IIT Goa site.
He had declined to disclose the location of the identified land because he feared “unnecessary opposition.” Congress MLA Altone D’Costa, who represents the Quepem Assembly sector in South Goa, requested the state government to establish the IIT campus near his constituency during a discussion on the matter in the House. He had claimed that there was space at Betul in the Quepem constituency to build the campus of the institute.
