Rohtak (Haryana): North India's first Indian Institute of Management (IIM) will be set up in Garnavadhi village of Haryana's Rohtak district at a cost of Rs.2.5 billion.
Deepinder Singh Hooda, Rohtak's MP and son of Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda, said here Saturday that the campus of the Rohtak IIM will be larger than that of a university.
He said that youth from Haryana now need not go to other states to study management as the facility would now be available within the state.
He said the Haryana government had already put into place a policy to set up industrial estates in the Rohtak belt on the lines of Gurgaon and the proposed IIM and new industrial units will help youth get better jobs.
"I foresee that the future of this area will change after the IIM starts functioning here," Hooda said.

Sydney: Ads extolling junk food are directly targeting children and are seldom regulated, according to a new study.
"One out of 10 (Australian) parents regularly take their children straight from school to a fast food place," said Vishesh Oommen of Queensland University of Technology's Institute, who conducted the study.
Oommen pointed out that ads targeting children were based around "pester power", meaning the item would look so tempting to a child that he or she pestered their parents until they gave in.
"This means it (Australia) has one of the poorest standards of food advertising, there is pretty much no limit to the type of food which is being advertised," said Oommen.
"TV advertising has a big influence, and children now watch more TV than in previous years… if a child is sitting through more than an hour of TV, then he or she is seeing a lot of advertisements, which influences a child's perception.
Oommen said that if the level of junk food advertising did not change, rates of obesity among children would not go down. Currently, one in four Australian children are overweight.
The study found that Sweden and Norway have the strictest policies on food advertising, while UK had recently introduced heavier restrictions. Canada and New Zealand were the other countries included in the study. IANS

Higher coffee intake, lower liver cancer risk
Washington: There's some cheerful news for coffee addicts. The more they drink, lower the risk of liver cancer.
A large, prospective population-based study has borne out an inverse relationship between coffee consumption and liver cancer risk.
Researchers led by Gang Hu at the University of Helsinki set out to examine the link between coffee consumption and serum gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), with the risk of liver cancer.
Finns drink more coffee per head than the Japanese, Americans, Italians, and other Europeans, so Hu and colleagues studied 60,323 participants aged between 25 and 74 years who were cancer-free.
They were included in seven independent cross-sectional population surveys conducted between 1972 and 2002 and followed up through June 2006.
Participants completed a questionnaire about their medical history, socio-economic factors and dietary and lifestyle habits. For a subset of participants, clinical data was available, including serum levels of GGT. Data on subsequent cancer diagnoses was collected from the countrywide Finnish Cancer Registry.
Based on their answers to "how many cups of coffee do you drink daily," participants were divided into five categories: 0-1 cup, 2-3 cups, 4-5 cups, 6-7 cups, and 8 or more cups daily. After a median follow-up period of 19.3 years, 128 participants were diagnosed with liver cancer.
The researchers noted that multivariable hazards ratio of liver cancer dropped for each group that drank more coffee. It fell from 1.00 to 0.66, 0.44, 0.38 to 0.32, respectively.
"The biological mechanisms behind the association of coffee consumption with the risk of liver cancer are not known," the authors point out.
They also found that high levels of serum GGT were associated with an increased risk of liver cancer, reports Eurekalert.
These findings will appear in the July issue of Hepatology. IANS

The University Grants Commission (UGC) on Friday agreed before the Delhi High Court to remove the name of Indian Institute of Planning and Management (IIPM) from the list of fake universities on its website.
The IIPM also agreed to make it clear in its advertisements that the institute offers only certificate courses.
The institute would also clarify that its courses were aimed at making the students eligible for degree courses like MBA and BBA provided under International Management Institute (IMI), Belgium.
The IIPM moved the court after the UGC, in its website, listed it under "fake university alerts".
Justice Rajiv Shakdher, in an interim order, had asked both UGC and IIPM to continue the arrangement till the final disposal of the writ petition and posted the matter for August 28.
The IIPM stated that it does not give any degrees and the move by the regulatory agency calling it 'fake' is unethical.
"You consult your respective clients (IIPM and UGC) on this issue and inform the court about possible settlement," a vacation bench of Justice Rajiv Shakdher had said earlier.

Thiruvananthapuram: Kerala's Mullaperiyar Dam dispute with Tamil Nadu has taken a new turn with the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi (IIT-D) saying that the dam would be 'Hydrologically Unsafe' in the event of heavy rainfall.
The Government of Kerala had asked a team of experts from the apex institute to study the dam's Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) water level.
The study said that, "The maximum probable rainfall in two days in the catchment area of the dam is about 65 cms, while the PMF recorded is 2,91,275 cusecs. If the catchment area receives heavy rainfall, the PMF level of water in the dam could go up to 158 feet which is more than the maximum level allowed. This would result into collapsing of its walls and consequent flooding."
The 111-year old Mullaperiyar Dam, located in Kerala's Idukki district, is operated by Tamil Nadu. The dispute between the two states arose after Tamil Nadu demanded the increasing of storage level of the dam to 152 feet. Kerala, however, opposed that an increase in the storage level would risk the thickly-populated districts downstream. It then proposed the setting up a new dam on the site.
Kerala Water Resources Minister, N.K. Premachandaran said, "We needed an expert opinion from a recognized institution. The findings of the study justify our demands of construction of a new dam on the site".
The team of experts from IIT-Delhi comprised of Prof. A.K. Gosain, Prof. Subhash Chander and Prof. George Paul.
CAT, like several others must have told you, is one of the most competitive exams. Also, it is the most unpredictable of all the tests. Formula work and rote learning don’t help to a greater extent when you are dealing with something like the CAT. This makes the test preparation interesting. CAT challenges your aptitude. And, there is no better motivation than a challenge.
If there is something typically CAT-like, it is only the ever-changing test structure. Consequently, you need to go beyond the mere understanding of concepts and be well versed with the application of concepts as well. CAT questions are like the real life scenarios where you are required to interlink two seemingly unrelated concepts and crack the problem.
A head start on the CAT 08 preparation will give you an edge over the other CAT 08 aspirants. Practice is the key to cracking the CAT. You may be a working professional or a student, an early start will allow you to balance your CAT prep with your graduation studies /work. If you start your preparation now you will have ample time to practice.
