VSSUT Burla marching foward; campus to be known as Siddhi Vihar
February 19th, 2010
Following is an excerpt from a report in Pioneer.
… Since both large and medium scale industries are coming in good numbers all over the State and particularly surrounding this technical university, more job-oriented courses will be opened soon to create employment avenues for the students. The new courses will be water resources management, industrial power control and electric drives, material technology, manufacturing system engineering etc, informed Tripathy.
He also informed that all the vacancies in teaching and non-teaching posts would be filled up soon to convert this age-old institution to a full-fledged university.
… Tripathy informed that efforts are being made to give the entire campus a total new look by naming the campus as ‘Siddhi Vihar’ and the hostels after the Saptarshi Mandal.
… students of the university have stood first in the Robotic event at IIT Kharagpur recently. At the same time, it had successfully organised Samavesh-2010 with 2500 engineering students belonging to different engineering colleges all over the State. “There is possibility of getting Rs.10-20 crore aid from the World Bank for research activities,” Swain informed.

Sir,
I would like to suggest one thing that It is true that VSSUT got a very dynamic VC and also marching towards success . But the approach of govt towards this university has been not yet changed. The university has not yet received a single rupee grant from govt, though Hon’ble CM assured us for an immediate grant 0f 6 crore during the golden jubilee valedictory function of the college. After one year the important posts like registrar and deans are lying vacant .Without a fix amount of hike in its annual grant (at least 15 crore)this university can’t be the reply of Odisha to BESU and CUSAT .Still the status national importance is a dream for this university….

FINAL YR,VSSUT

Prabhat you are very correct. VSSUT our beoved UCE should improve very fast to catch up the leaders. But just opposite is happening here. Admistrators of VSSUT must be struggling for its sustenance.
For infrastructure and selfsufficiency Govt has to take the initiative. After sufficient infrastructure only VSSUT will be able to get some research funding from different Organisations.
Sooner the better…
