As many as 14 engineering colleges in the State have qualified for grants through Phase II of the Technical Education Quality Improvement Programme (TEQIP), a World Bank-assisted project launched in 2004 by the Union Ministry of Human Resources and Development. P D A Engineering College, Gulbarga is one among these 14 colleges.
Over the next three years, six unaided, seven aided and a government engineering college in the state will receive Rs 12.5 crore each to enhance enrolment in post-graduate education, set up centres of excellence in multi-disciplinary areas and improve competence of faculty under the second phase of Technical Education Quality Improvement Programme (TEQIP). The Centre and the state government will share the cost in the ratio of 75:25.
TEQIP Phase-I (2004-09) also covered 14 engineering colleges in Karnataka, at an outlay of Rs. 162 crore. Karnataka was among 13 States covered in TEQIP Phase-I.

This is in response to Vinay Biradar’s views:
Introspection is required at all levels and by every body concerned. Normally, influenced by some of the past incidents-some true and some other not true-most of us immediately develop an opinion that the money being received by the HKE will be missued.
However, as I observed( and it’s an irony), the very person who accuses others not being honest, once gets a chance to manage such a society, himself becomes dishonest.
As such, I feel, instead of looking at some of the incidents of not so good kind, it’s better to wish good for the Organizations of which we were part of it(as Alumni)
Wish all the best and Greater heights for our pride College in coming years..

12.5 crore is whooping sum of money!! I believe that is why the presidency of HKE society is a cruely fought battle! Being a PDA alumni, its a nice feeling that the college is getting recognised and getting grants. On the other hand, TEQIP phase I, should predicate and forecast what TEQIP phase II will do. The answer is quite clear!
Anyways, on an optimistic note, I hope the money brings in the desired change in the college.

TEQIP — means quality improvement plan — it means the quality is not good enough and should be improved
