UU signs agreement to support budding entrepreneurs.

In a recent development, Utkal University in Bhubaneswar has entered into a partnership with Northeastern University in Boston to foster student entrepreneurship and innovation. This exciting venture will see the establishment of specialized centers dedicated to this purpose. With a goal of enrolling 3,000 students, the programme is open to both postgraduate and undergraduate students. And not just limited to the main university campus, affiliated colleges will also have the opportunity to participate.

To further enhance the learning experience, the university authorities have also announced that ten students will be selected every academic year to go on an educational tour. This will give them the chance to broaden their horizons and gain valuable knowledge beyond the classroom. It's all part of the university's efforts to align with the New Education Policy of 2024, which aims to integrate vocational education into the school system, equipping students with the skills to become successful workers and entrepreneurs.

Speaking on the occasion, Utkal University's Vice-Chancellor, Sabita Acharya, emphasized the university's role as a catalyst for inspiring students to pursue further education in entrepreneurship. She also highlighted the initiatives taken by the former VC, including the establishment of innovation and startup parks on campus. And with the Pradhan Mantri Rashtriya Uchhatar Siksha Abhiyan 2.0 providing funds, the programme is set to reach new heights.

All in all, the partnership between Utkal University and Northeastern University is a significant step towards promoting student entrepreneurship and innovation. It not only opens up exciting opportunities for students but also aligns with the government's vision of a skilled and entrepreneurial workforce. With these efforts, the university is well on its way to becoming a hub of innovation and excellence.
