President approves six new IITs across country and one NIT in AP


President Pranab Mukherjee has given his nod to set up six new Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) in places like Jammu, Tirupati, Palakkad (Kerala), Goa, Dharward (Karnataka) and Bhilai (Chhattisgarh) and also passed a law regarding the same. The law has also brought the Indian School of Mines (ISM), Dhanbad under its ambit. The ISM will now be called Indian Institute of Technology (Indian School of Mines), Dhanbad, the legislation said. All these institutions will be institutions of national importance, as per the Act.

The Lok Sabha had on July 25 passed the Institutes of Technology (Amendment) Bill. It got Rajya Sabha approval on August 2. The President has also given his assent to a law for establishment of a National Institute of Technology (NIT) in Andhra Pradesh. The institute will act as an institution of national importance, as per National Institutes of Technology, Science Education and Research (Amendment) Act, 2016, which has been notified by the Centre.

So let's discuss some questions related to this post:
1. Total how many news IITs have got the nod to set up by President Pranab Mukherjee?
2. What will be the new name of Indian School of Mines (ISM), Dhanbad?
