“I am happy that the Sikkim Government has allocated a quality land measuring 100 acre at Khamdong, East Sikkim for constructing NIT campus” said Dr. Subhas Sarkar, Union Minister of State for Education in a press conference held at Gangtok.

While speaking to media Union Minister informed about the NIT Sikkim to be functional within three years and the construction of Sikkim Central University campus located at Yangang South Sikkim to be completed in next two and a half years.

He informed that Rs. 500 crore has been set aside for the construction of NIT in Sikkim. The construction work of the campus will commence shortly after fulfilling all the official formalities, he added. 

NIT campus was established in the year 2010 temporarily at Ravangla, South Sikkim. Later, state government decided to shift the campus to Khamdong, East Sikkim and 100 acre of land worth Rs. 26 crore was allocated for the proposed project.  

Union Minister further informed that the fund for the construction of the campus will be released by centre government once the pending paperwork and formalities of the land are completed.
