From the Desk of the Vice-Chancellor
From the desk of the Vice-Chancellor Central University of Orissa has completed five successful years with a meaningful existence. Last few months have been remarkably eventful for the University. The Address of our visitor Shri Pranab Mukherjee, the Honble President of India on Democracy and Governance at the meeting of Higher Educational and Research Institutions through video conferencing in the beginning of the Academic Session 2014-15 was inspiring for both faculty and students as he underlined the core civilisational values of India to be inculcated by these Institutions such as love for motherland; performance of duty; compassion for all; tolerance for pluralism; respect for women; honesty in life; self-restraint in conduct, responsibility in action and discipline. The 6th Foundation Day Programme was itself a success story as students of different centres and staff exhibited their best cultural display. To add a feather in the cap, our cultural troupe for Dhemsa has been selected for National Level participation in the Inter University Central Zone Youth Festival organised by Berhampur University. The University has come of age. The first batch of B.Ed. students passed out of the university with flying colours.
