Union Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’ virtually inaugurated a newly-constructed edifice, named ‘Golden Jubilee Building’ at the National Institute of Technology (NIT) Rourkela from New Delhi on Tuesday.
The 7,000 sqm building, constructed at a cost of Rs 95 crore, stands as a mark of completion of fifty years of existence of the premier institute. It also emerges as the tallest building of Rourkela. “The NIT Rourkela has been producing best brains for the country. The building is a symbol of its prestige,” said Pokhriyal.
He said institutions like NIT, Rourkela would play very important role in the implementation of the New Education Policy (NEP).
All modern institutional requirements are available in the building to cater to the needs of skill development and training.
