Bhubaneswar: Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Thursday inaugurated the BPUT Tech Carnival-2023 at IMMT Auditorium in Odisha capital.
Addressing the students and dignitaries, the CM said that technology is the pivot of our future. “Our growth, our wellbeing … everything is dependent on our hold on advanced and emerging technologies. We must therefore keep ourselves engaged with the latest technology, and stay ahead,” he said.
He said that the carnival has been conceived to engage students in technical, cultural and sports activities. “It will be a calendar event to acknowledge and appreciate the hard work, sincerity and dedication of our students.”
Naveen further said that Biju Patnaik University of Technology (BPUT) is a pre-eminent institution in the realm of technical education and has produced many brilliant technocrats contributing immensely to the development of the state and the country.
He emphasised that Odisha has made great strides in skilling its youth, making them employable and transforming the state into the skill capital of the World. “World Skill Center is a premier institute providing advanced skill training in several trades. Our efforts have been highly effective in making our children globally employable,” he said.
The CM also inaugurated the web portal and a poster for the event.
Skill Development Minister Pritiranjan Gharai said that Odisha has now become an epicentre of technical education under the visionary leadership of CM Naveen Patnaik. “While the students are receiving quality technical education here in the state, students from outside the state are also coming here for their education.”
