Rs 100-cr IICA Regional Centre To Come Up In NE

New Delhi: In a bid to advancing corporate governance excellence and sustainable development in the northeast, the Indian Institute of Corporate Affairs (IICA) on Tuesday announced to establish its first regional campus in the region. IICA, under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, formally acquired a five-acre land parcel in New Shillong Township, Meghalaya, for its first-ever regional campus. Backed by a Rs100.95 crore investment under the Prime Minister’s Development Initiative for North-East (PM-DevINE), the Shillong campus will operate as a regional hub for specialised training, research, and policy advisory across key domains.

Donald Phillips Wahlang, Chief Secretary, Meghalaya government, expressed the state’s commitment to knowledge-led growth and highlighted the strategic location of the IICA campus within the Knowledge City cluster.

The area already houses esteemed institutions like IIM Shillong, National Law University Meghalaya, and NIFT — promising rich academic and professional synergy.

He also informed that a new airport is soon to be developed in Shillong, which will significantly enhance regional connectivity and make the campus easily accessible to professionals, faculty, and students from across India.
