Georgia tech in Hyderabad?

Georgia Tech University, Atlanta, US, is keen on setting up a full-fledged campus in the city and may well be the first foreign university to do so in India. When the proposal first came up some time back, the government was said to be not keen on giving free land to it which the university wanted. But recent talks between the university representatives and AP Invest, a state government body, made progress in the land issue. But it is still unclear whether land will be sold to it at a subsidised rate or will be given free. According to the government's advisor on IT, Dr C S Rao, the government has been encouraging the university to open its campus here for some time. At present the university is looking to set up a centre to offer PG and research programmes. Several top desi institutes also have plans to set up campuses in the state.
