BHUBANESWAR: The Fakir Mohan University on Friday launched a new initiative — meet eminent academics and people from the corporate world — to familiarise its students with the industry and the corporate world.
Vice-chancellor Dinabandhu Sahoo said the university will host a lecture or interaction series for the students as part of the initiative. On the inaugural day of the lecture series, HK Patnaik, an industrialist from Vadodora, spoke about global waste management techniques and opportunities of employment for students in the industry sector.
“While the university stands for training young brains, industries stand for widening employment to such young brains. Therefore, university-industry partnership is the need of the hour,” said Sahoo.
