The Chief Minister Dr Pramod Sawant on Friday said that the team to select a site for the IIT Indian Institute of Technology team will be finalised within the next five days.



He said that around four proposals are under consideration for a new IIT site and the new site will be declared by next month.


The chief minister was talking to reporters on the sidelines of a function at Goa Institute of Management in Sakhli.


A site for IIT has become a big issue in the state. The first location in Sanguem taluka had encountered land acquisition problem.


Later, the state government chose a site in Melaulim in Sattari taluka but there too the locals opposed the proposal very vociferously.
