Establishing a Construction Academy in Orissa

New Indian Express reports that during the discussion between the World Bank and the Orissa government in regards to a loan of 1406 crores for construction of roads in Orissa, the idea of setting up a “construction academy” in lines of the one in Hyderabad was mooted. Following is an excerpt from the New Indian Express article.

The World Bank has decided to provide financial assistance of Rs 1,406 crore for the implementation of Rs 2,121- crore Orissa State Roads Project (OSRP).

There is also a proposal to set up a Construction Academy akin to one in Hyderabad to assist the capacity building activities of the State Government.

The academy will train contractors and workers with modern construction techniques.

The Arizona State University, where I am currently at, also has a top-notch school of construction that offers M.S in Construction. May be the Orissa government can go beyond what is in Hyderabad and borrow ideas from the School of Construction at ASU.
