India has named the three cities in which it will build new Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs) and revealed it will name another four cities in January 2016 to bring the total count of such institutions to 25.
The new IITS are Public - Private - Partnerships (PPP) although five are entirely public sector affairs.
India is blunt about the purpose of the IITs, saying they are expected to bring out high quality IT manpower required for building up IT industry in the country.
