NIT Rourkela To Work For Uplift Of Odisha’s Backward Districts

Bhubaneswar: The National Institute of Technology (NIT) Rourkela and its distinguished alumni Venkata Narasimham Peri signed an MoU for the uplift of backward regions of Koraput, Bolangir and Kalahandi in Odisha.

Poverty Alleviation Research Centre (PARC) is sponsored by Peri.

NIT Rourkela’s project is aimed at making a significant contribution in reducing poverty in the region.

The MoU was inked during the diamond jubilee celebrations of the institute.

“Institutes like NIT Rourkela plays a significant role in India’s call for ‘Vocal for Local’, and ‘Local for Global’. I appeal to the students to aim to create jobs rather than seeking jobs. I believe this institution is doing wonders, with the help of FTBI (Foundation for Technology & Business Incubation),” Union Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’ was quoted as saying at the virtual event.
