Smiti Kirani mulls setting up HRD Ministries in each state

The press got a glimpse of the ambitious new education plan of the HRD Ministry on Monday when the Minister Smiti Kirani unveiled the roadmap to creating an IIT in every nook of the nation. 'No one should walk more than 400 metres to the nearest IIT' she said. The prestigious IITs have been franchised to Cafe Coffee Day and are opening branches at a scorching pace across the nation. At the inaugural of the 10,000th outlet, the Minister said this expansion would find a new fillip in the new scheme where each state is planned to have a central HRD Ministry staffed by the retired cast and crew of 'Kyunki saas bhi...', a sitcom that was wildly popular till Smiti left it to join politics. It is rumored that the Relyance Group has approached the ministry with an 'IIM in every petrol bunk' scheme that could again change the face of higher education in the nation.
