Nasscom Suggests: TN, MP, Karnataka to have Three IIIT's, Bihar to get one Jharkhand None.
NASSCOM has submitted its recommendation on the location of IIIT's to HRD Ministry. It has suggested two more IIIT's in TN in PPP besides the one IIIT (harware&Design) already set up in central sector at Kanchpuram . New ones are proposed at Chennai and Coimbatore. Another big beneficiary state could be Karnataka which is slated to get three, one each at Mangalore, Mysore and Bangalore . Madhyapradesh with another institute at Indore will also move up to have three institutes ( which is in addition to central sector IIITs at Jabalpur and Gwalior). Jharkahnd, Chhatishgarh and Rajasthan's claims, however, seems to have been completely ignored. Maharashtra is another beneficiary with two such institutes proposed at Pune and Nagpur respectivelly. Most of the southern states, including Maharashtra, already boast of a similar state government sponsored institute.
Places where new IIIT's in PPP mode has been recommended by NASSCOM are Delhi, Chennai, Thiruvananthapuram, Bangalore, Jammu,Chandigarh, Dehra Dun, Lucknow, Patna, Shillong, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Indore, Nagpur, Bhubaneswar, Pune, Visakhapatanam, Mysore, Mangalore and Coimbatore .

National Institute of Paramedical Sciences (with branches in New Delhi and Chennai)
http://planningcommission.nic.in/reports/genrep/rep_ser.pdf
For the paramedical personnel there several institutions, in the States but also in
the private sector but these are unregulated and there is lack of uniformity in the training
imparted. For regulating training of paramedics it is proposed to set up the Paramedics
Council and a Bill for the same has already been introduced in Parliament. Separately,
there is also a proposal in the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare to set up a National
Institute of Paramedical Sciences (with branches in New Delhi and Chennai) for
undertaking and coordinating training programmes in the country in collaboration with
State Governments. The Ministry is proposing to use distance education to ensure large
coverage of the training programmes.

Four Regional 'Centres for Advanced Legal Studies and Research (CALSAR)' as Excellence Center in Law Education on Anvil
http://knowledgecommission.gov.in/downloads/report2007/eng/6_Recommendations.pdf
There is need to set up four autonomous, well
networked Centres for Advanced Legal Studies and
Research (CALSAR), one in each region, to carry out
cutting edge research on various aspects of law and also
serve as a think-tank for advising the government in
national and international fora. The CALSARs would
maintain adequate linkages and institutionalized
interaction opportunities with law schools and
universities, including continuing legal education for
faculty. Some other specific functions and objectives
of these centres would include: publishing a peer
reviewed journal of international quality; facilitating
multi disciplinary approaches to law; institutionalizing
arrangements for scholars in residence; organizing
workshops and undertaking in-depth research on new
and developing areas of law.
Each CALSAR would require an initial investment of
around Rs. 50 crore to build an academic complex,
conference facilities, a world-class library and other
infrastructure. These institutes would also need to
be provided with an annual budget to the tune of
Rs. 5 crore for salaries, fellowships, administrative
expenses and related expenses. The initial investment
and the annual budgets should be borne by the central
and respective state governments (that would host
the CALSAR) respectively, but the CALSARs should
gradually aim at financial self-sustenance, through
innovative financial method
