Controversy looms over 'multi-crore' National Education Research & Development Programme (NERDP) project
Nagaland Post | Dimapur/Imphal, Mar 27:
Several questions are being raised about the dubious National Education Research & Development Programme (NERDP), whose authenticity has been raised by Nagaland minister of higher education Dr Shürhozelie in the assembly in the just concluded budget session on March 22.
At Imphal, in response, NERDP sources here claim that 30 academic institutions in Nagaland could miss out on the scheme for academic buildings of international stature if Nagaland failed to issue ‘No Objection Certificate’ to the National Educational Research & Development Programme (NERDP) within March 31, 2012, to implement a multi-crore project with 100% grant from the World Bank. If the deadline is missed, Mangang chief manager said the fund would be “diverted elsewhere”.
NERDP, which claims to be an international autonomous post secondary statutory education agency supposedly acts as nodal agency for implementation of project for construction of new academic building in Northeastern region of the country with 100% grant from the World Bank. NERDP claims that its projects are aimed at up-gradation of infrastructure required to bring remote area at par with the rest of the country at international stature.
