NEW DELHI: The Parliament on Tuesday gave its nod to a Bill seeking to declare the National Institutes of Design (NIDs) in Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Assam and Haryana as institutions of national importance.
The National Institute of Design (Amendment) Bill, 2019 was approved by the Lok Sabha after the House rejected amendments moved by Trinamool Congress member Saugata Roy that West Bengal’s institute should be included in the bill.
During a division of votes pressed by Roy, his amendment was rejected with 93 members voting against it and only 23 in favour.
The Bill was later approved by voice vote. It has already been cleared by the Rajya Sabha. (AGENCIES)
