In less than three months we have created a sizable compendium on Vedanta University, mostly based on information collected from the web. They are available in the page http://www.facebook.com/vedantau . Given below are the links to important parts of that collection.

This is an opportunity of a millennium for Odisha and we must not miss this.

Vedanta University project will not be allowed to take its root simple because our so-called political patriot do not want the same. This is that spirit and thinking of our early independence leadership which prevented us to get the much acclaimed first IIT in Odisha.
There hidden agendas are: 1. They are afraid of doing politics in an enlighten environment, 2. They have political agenda to settle with the present government runs under regional outfit, 3. They are feudal in mind set, 4. Some of them acting at the behest of some institution onwer who are afraid of their survival in the presence of Vedanta University.
Besides, I have to mention that Odisha’s present enlighten citizens are afraid of opening their mouth be cause they think they will lose their image.
