Following is from Samaja:

On the education side Odisha must ask for the following:

  • A campus of ISMU in one of the mining hubs of Odisha.
  • A tribal university and a branch of the IGNTU.
  • A central agricultural university in a backward district in Odisha, along with other such districts in India.
  • A National Sports University/Institute in Rourkela/Sundergarh with a branch in Kendrapada.
  • A rural engineering institute like SLIET Longowal, ABAGKCIET Malda, and CIT Kokrajhar.
  • An IIM. (If more IIMs are being established.)
  • Upgradation of VSSUT to an IIEST.
