Finance Committee and it was suggested that a detailed feasibility report containing the budgetary requirement,
item wise cost estimates alongwith project viability be brought before the EFC through a revised proposal.
Accordingly, the task of preparing a Definite Feasibility Report(DFR) has been given to the National Skill
Development Corporation(NSDC) who have in turn have allocated the task to M/s. Ernst & Young. The DFR is likely
to be submitted by NSDC shortly. The Institute is likely to be set up in three years time.
Since the Institute itself, is yet to be set up, there is no proposal to set up new branches of the Institute
at present.
