KORAPUT: The ambience of Central University of Orissa at Koraput could be comparable to many prominent institutions in the country and the students need to take the benefit of the opportunities available with the university, according to Sub-collector Rajesh Pravakar Patil. He was speaking at the National Education Day programme held on the campus of the university here on Wednesday.

While it was easy for the youth to get trapped into the agitation mood for each and every small unhappiness, students of the university should not waste their time by losing their precious academic opportunities, he said. While Umakant Das, retired teacher, highlighting the salient features of the revised education policies that were brought out from time to time, asked the students to prepare themselves to face challenges.

Among others N.N. Panigrahy, an educationist from Koraput and Ajit Patro, advocate, also spoke.

A blood donation camp was organised on the premises where 26 students donated blood. Sanjiv Kumar, president, Koraput District Blood Donors Forum, was present.
