He said the education department will also conduct an inquiry into the alleged irregularities found at Indian Institute of Information Technology in Saloh of Una district. Govind said the government will inquire why despite having its own campus, the institute rented accommodation and appointed people from outside the state.He also claimed that the number of students in government schools was increasing due to the starting of pre-primary classes in 4,487 institutes. The Opposition members did not withdraw their respective cut motions, on which the House rejected these cut motions by voice vote. The minister said that HP government, during the present academic year, will give smartphones instead of laptops to meritorious children. He said the government would seriously consider the issue of cancellation of the expulsion of three students from HPU for indiscipline. The government is making efforts to transform Himachal into a fruit state instead of an apple state, said horticulture minister in his reply to question raised by Jubbal and Kotkhai legislator Rohit Thakur and Indora MLA Rita Dhiman. “It is unfortunate that efforts were not made in these directions. A fruit processing plant was set up in Parwanoo in 1981. The state government has invited bids for the strengthening and modernisation of the plant and technical evaluation of the bids has already been carried out,” Mahender Singh Thakur said, adding that the government will set up an apple processing plant at Kotkhai to convert the crop procured from the belt into juice or concentrate.
