The total number of permanent August 2008, new UG / PG programs were facilities and supporting infrastructure on our faculty now on the rolls is 108. The reason for the rapid continuously introduced every year, reaching 576-acre permanent campus. The beginning of growth is not difficult to see, as every one of the 11 the current strength of 1073 students across the construction activity on permanent campus departments typically has two selections for permanent all programs. The academic year 2012-13 is was the culmination of detailed planning and posts each year. However, even with all the pressure particularly significant, as the first batch of design efforts of the past few years involving for rapid growth, there has been a very conscious PhD students will be graduating from IITH development of the master plan for phased effort not to relax standards: although almost all the along with the 2nd and 3rd batches of BTech/ growth, architectural and structural designs of hires have been at the level of Assistant Professor, MSc and MTech, respectively. As many as 188 buildings, facilities planning and infrastructure fully 60% of them have had extensive post-doctoral students will be awarded degrees during the design, urban planning, coordination with experience, and two-thirds have either PhDs or post- 2nd convocation, to be celebrated on August governmental agencies for permits and clearances doctoral experience abroad. In the last year, we have 7, 2013. and planning the execution stage. had around 150 journal / conference publications and 40 sponsored projects, which is good for such a young Inventions and innovations are the two We have given careful consideration to the institution. key driving forces for the vision of this impact of proposed growth on the environment Institute. The same concept and spirit has and the surroundings. Designs for the buildings Encouraging as these numbers are, there is no place been taken further in the conduct of the currently under construction confirm to very high for complacency: IITH is set to expand from its current academic activities. The flexible and modular environmental standards with considerations student strength of around 1100 to more than 6600 in education system adopted by IITH allows of energy and material usage. With the use of 2018 – a six-fold increase in student strength in just experts from industry, academia and other latest construction technology, we are planning five years! (The reason for this is that IITH has received spheres of life to offer Fractional Credit to complete the construction to accommodate a very large loan from the Government of Japan for Courses of 0.5, 1, ...2.5 credits, adding a a student strength of 2000 and transition to the its development). To handle such a student number new dimension to our teaching model. permanent campus in 2014. we would need a faculty strength of 600 – or at least 400 – by 2018. So the rate of hiring will be sustained, During the year 2012-13, IITH started a We are currently also planning for the next phase even accelerated, in the foreseeable future. There are new BTech program in Engineering Science, of expansion to accommodate 5000 students many reasons that a young academic would find it best wherein the student does the basic courses and a total strength of 6000 by July 2017.

Rogers Myron Weiner a ........ .................. ..... .......... C/77-5 INTERNAL MIGRATION POLICIES IN AN INDIAN STATE: A CASE STUDY OF THE MULKI RULES IN HYDERABAD AND ANDHRA K.V. Narayana Rao Migration and Development Study Group Center for International Studies Massachusetts Institute of Technology Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139 August 1977 Preface by Myron Weiner This study by Dr. K.V. Narayana Rao, a political scientist and Deputy Director of the National Institute of Community Development in Hyderabad who has specialized in the study of Andhra Pradesh politics, examines one of the earliest and most enduring attempts by a state government in India to influence the patterns of internal migration. The policy of intervention began in 1868 when the traditional ruler of Hyderabad State initiated steps to ensure that local people (or as they are called in Urdu, mulkis) would be given preferences in employment in the administrative services, a policy that continues, in a more complex form, to the present day. A high rate of population growth for the past two decades, a rapid expansion in education, and a low rate of industrial growth have combined to create a major problem of scarce employment opportunities in Andhra Pradesh as in most of India and, indeed, in many countries in the third world. It is not surprising therefore that there should be political pressures for controlling the labor market by those social classes in the urban areas that are best equipped to exercise political power.

Not only was IITH lucky to be led by a dynamic, young, and innovative Director, but other factors such as a location with pre-existing facilities for a quick start, proximity to a major metropolis, availability of many qualified NRIs with a preference to be near a metropolis and therefore eager to fill the faculty positions, and qualified students with a preference for this location, made IITH the fastest-growing institute in the history of IITs since the establishment of IITKGP in 1951. IITH has introduced many curricular innovations, such as Fractal Academics, research emphasis from the start in the UG program, and international collaborations, to name a few. The growth of faculty strength from zero to over a hundred in spite of the many constraining rules and regulations in the selection process has been gratifying.
