History

Veerappa Moily, the Minister of Law, Justice, and Company Affairs and Former Chief Minister of Karnataka, fiercely lobbied for the establishment of an IIT in Muddenahalli, birthplace of legendary Engineer and Statesman Sir Mokshagundam Visvesvarayya. The Indian Institute of Technology Muddenahalli is to be the 16th IIT in India and has received preliminary approval from the cabinet and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.[2] Construction is set to be commenced soon and will be completed around 2012.

The institute campus will be spread over 200 acres (0.81 km2) of prime commercial land near the recently approved 12,000-acre (49 km2) BIAL IT Investment Region. It will be situated overlooking the recently expanded 8 lane NH7, the upcoming 600 crore Sri Visvesvaraya Institute of Advanced Technology, 70 crore Silk City, 2,500-acre (10 km2) Olympic Quality Sports village, and the Sri Sathya Sai University and School of Medicine.[3]
