Prime Minister Modi Lays Foundation for IIT Bhilai’s ₹1,200 Crore Expansion, Elevating State’s Tech Ambitions

Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone for IIT Bhilai’s ₹1,200 crore Phase B expansion, aimed at boosting AI, biotech, and sustainable energy research in Chhattisgarh’s Durg district. The project will add 500 student seats, advanced labs, and an expanded incubation centre to foster 150 startups, generating 6,000 jobs by 2030. With 20,000 scholarships for SC/ST students, the initiative seeks to bridge the state’s urban-rural tech divide while countering underdevelopment in Maoist-affected areas.
