Odisha Govt to Sign MoU with SVKM for Establishment of NMIMS University Campus in Bhubaneswar

Bhubaneswar: The Odisha Government has decided to sign an MoU with Shri Vile Parle Kelavani Mandal (SVKM) for establishment of a world-class educational campus of NMIMS University in Bhubaneswar.

This significant initiative is designed to elevate the standard of higher education in Odisha and create new opportunities for academic excellence.

The proposed University will act as a learning centre that fosters national and global engagement in the field of education. This will be proven to be an edge for the Odisha Domicile students as SVKM commits to admit 30% of its students from Odisha based on merit, the Higher Education Department said.

The State Government will provide SVKM 40 acres of land on lease in Goudakashipur, Jatni, Bhubaneswar for establishment of the University. The educational campus will be developed by SVKM in phases. The Government will facilitate land identification and provide essential utilities.

This collaboration holds immense promise for the advancement of higher education and academic excellence in Odisha. It aligns seamlessly with the state’s vision to nurture human resource development and bolster its reputation as a hub for quality education, the Higher Education Department added.
