Bhubaneswar: The time has come to attune the curriculum for students with the country’s culture and traditions, said Pro-Chancellor of Siksha ‘O’ Anusandhan Deemed to be University Prof Amit Banerjee.
Unfurling the National Flag on the occasion of 73rd Republic Day at the university office, here on Wednesday, Prof Banerjee said SOA completed 25 years of its existence with a lot of promise for the future.
