NEW DELHI: Human resource development ministry is making last ditch attempts to keep control of architectural schools in the country, even as the urban development ministry has all but wrested the reins of such institutions.
Caught unaware by the cabinet secretary’s surprising backing of urban development ministry’s claim to schools of planning & architecture (SPAs) in the country, the Prakash Javadekar-led HRD ministry now plans to write to the cabinet secretary, strongly opposing the move, government insiders said.
