The Plan
Anil Agarwal, a successful Indian businessman who heads the London based Vedanta Resources corporation and Naveen Patnaik, the Chief Minister of Orissa state in eastern India, have signed a memorandum of understanding to create India's first and only world class, multidisciplinary university, Vedanta University. The proposed university will be endowed with US $1 billion from Agarwal's personal funds, which according to the institution's consultant A. T. Kearney, is the biggest single person contribution ever made towards the endowment for any educational institution worldwide. The entire outlay to set up the dream university is estimated to be around 150 billion rupees (approximately US $3 billion). M. Siddiqi is the present Project Director of Vedanta University. Other senior administrative officials are currently being recruited internationally.
