The Department of Pharmaceuticals has envisaged an investment Rs 3,000 crore to set up ten more National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research (NIPER) over the next five years in to enhance availability of skilled human resources in the pharma sector.

The proposal to set up ten additional NIPERs is one of the many proposals, worth Rs 12,280 crore, that have been submitted to the Planning Commission by the Department of Pharmaceuticals (DoP) under the 12th Five Year Plan.

Huge amount of taxpayers money is being misappropriated @NIPER Mohali. The act is crystal clear from the RTI response of CAG. RTI response revealed that 607.26 lakh is misappropriated in 2009-10 alone and CAG has written serious paras about the misappropriation. 

Out 10 cr 6 cr is misappropriated, out 3,000 cr? ....................You do the math
