 I met with the IIT- Delhi delegation headed by Professor M. Balakrishan in view of setting up, an IIT like Institution in Mauritius. The delegation has taken stock of the development in tertiary education in Mauritius and have considered the possibility of setting up a research-based engineering education institution based on the IIT model in Mauritius in collaboration with TEC and the University of Mauritius. IIT Delhi has agreed to continue discussion for the implementation for the project. It is expected that the first phase of the project involving research programmes be initiated in July 2013.
