Haryana chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda on Sunday announced that the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Delhi, would set up its extension campus in Haryana and the state government would provide 50 acres of land for it at Rajiv Gandhi Education City (RGEC) in Sonipat.

MP Deepender Singh Hooda, who is also the lone parliamentarian member of the IIT Advisory Council, submitted the letter from IIT Delhi director Prof. R.K. Shevgaonkar to the chief minister at the rally. In the letter, Prof. Shevgaonkar said that the extension campus of IIT Delhi in Haryana would not only facilitate the much needed expansion of activities of IIT Delhi, but would also provide an additional impetus to the economic and technical growth of the state of Haryana.
The chief minister said that the 10 foundation stones, which he laid on Sunday, would prove to be the foundation stones of the better future of next generation. It would also change the entire scenario of the state, he added.
While paying rich tributes to the former Prime Minister late Rajiv Gandhi, the chief minister said that the state government is working to realise his dream. He had anchored computer revolution in the country.
He recalled that when the late Rajiv Gandhi advocated computers, the opposition had tried to misled people by saying that these computers would spread unemployment across the country.
Today, the result of his vision is visible for all to see, he said, adding that the country has emerged as a global leader.
