Update on Orissa School of Mining Engineering, Keonjhar: an email from a GOO official

Dear Sir,
Its a great pleasure to learn about ur interest on OSME. The college has become a constituent college of BPUT. Govt. have sanctioned 5 crores & alloted 37 Ac land. The bldg. construction work is likely to start during April 2007 by IDCO. Possibly the Inst. will run in the new campus from 2008 session & new branches of Engg.i.e. Electronics, Comp. Sc.& Mineral Processing will be introduced.
The Inst. will run in a Self-Financing mode as per present planning. Govt. is commited to provide 50 Crores for the project. There are some initial administrative problems but hopefully everything will be settled shortly. It probably needs some more serious Govt. attention to bring it to the shape it was visualised. I’m optimistic.
I shall always be in touch with you Sir & seek ur valuable suggestions/guidelines as apart of the project, in making it a Centre of Excellence for Mining & Mineral Processing Engg.
Thank you once again. With kind regards.

Orissa School of Mining Engineering in Keonjhar

Since 1995 Orissa govt has introduced B.Tech programs at the Orissa School of Mining Engineering in Keonjhar (location). However, so far it has very minimal facilities. In 2006, the Orissa governemnt decided to upgrade it and model it after the Indian School of Mines in Dhanbad. They have gone around and obtained pledges from various industries operating in that area and have created a budget of 50+ crores to upgrade this school. They have identified 46 acres of land for the the upgraded school. This was reported in various newspapers in late October 2006 (samaja, statesman, tathya). The new industrial policy 2007 (page 12, 10.2.iii) of the Orissa government which was made in March 2007 also states the Orissa government’s plan regarding this school.
