In the absence of a uniform,
transparent and equitable land allotment policy, IDCO was allotting land in
industrial estates to educational institutions which ultimately resulted in
allotment of more land to them than actually required.
KIIT, as an Institute which evolved
from one functioning out of a single rented room in 1992 to one that boasts of
10 sprawling wifi enabled campuses in Bhubaneswar was allotted prime land of
89.170 acres by IDCO. The details are as follows.

CAG Audit scrutiny has revealed
that although direct allotment of land to KIIT by IDCO was meagre (7. 083
acres), there were instances of undue benefit extended to KIIT in acquiring the
remaining land ( 82.087 acres) violating procedures of land
allotment which resulted in a loss of Rs. 252.54 acres.
Besides that KIIT has again
occupied unauthorisedly 18.864 acres of land, the benchmark
valuation of land is Rs. 94.32 crores. Astonishingly,
IDCO though aware about this unauthorised occupation has not taken a
single step for eviction. The attitude of IDCO subsequently
encouraged other encroachers to encroach upon the valuable land first and then
get them regularised. To this extent, IDCO was merely acting as a
regularising agent of irregular encroachments though under the IDCO Act, no
such authority or power was vested with IDCO. It is also found that all the
proposals of KIIT were simply accepted by IDCO violating all norms and
procedures of allotment.
