Orissa government plans a government engineering college in Kalahandi near Bhawanipatna
December 20th, 2008
Following is from tathya.in.
Finally KBK region will have a Government sponsored engineering college.
And this will be established here in the district Headquarters of Kalahandi.
Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik has given green signal to this effect.
The Industries department has moved the files so that the institution receives approval of AICTE.
The authorities are eying to enroll students in 2009-10 in four streams, once the AICTE approval is availed.
The Collector has been asked to locate 30 acres of land near Bhawanipatna.
At least 10 acres of land is required for an engineering college but keeping in future expansion, the State Government has asked the Collector Kalahandi to do the needful.
Chief Minister has asked the Finance department to provide Rs.4 crore from the Orissa Contingency Fund (OCF).
Recently the OCF has been allowed to enlarge its kitty to Rs.400 crore.
There are 63 engineering colleges in the state and 2 in KBK.
Most of the engineering colleges are in Khurda district, which houses 34.
There are no government engineering colleges in KBK and keeping this in view the Chief Minister has approved the Kalahandi Engineering College in this part of KBK, said an official.
This engineering college will be constituent college of Biju Patnaik University of Technology (BPUT).

its indeed a boon to KBK education……students from this area has been facing a lot of difficulties in the recent years to possess a good niche in the arena of education……infact , this college should intake students right from this year & give a tremendous relief to the KBK students who despite of their unending potentialities, are compelled to undergo thousands of problems due to lack of such a college in their area……THANKS A LOT..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
