Odisha’s First Skill Park Opens in Silk City

Berhampur: A unique skill park has been opened here on Saturday on the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti.

The skill park, which is said to be the first-of-its-kind in Odisha, has been jointly developed by ITI, Berhampur and Berhampur Municipal Corporation (BeMC).

The ITI, Berhampur and the BeMC worked a joint project on the theme ‘waste to wealth’ to set up the skill park, which is going to be one of the  major attractions in the silk city.

The skilled professionals from the institute have designed as many as 15 sculptures, made out of scraps provided by the BeMC, for the park.

The park has been inaugurated in the presence of Berhampur MP Chandra Sekhar Sahu, Berhampur MLA Bikram Panda, Chatrapur MLA Subash Behera, BeMC Commissioner Dr. Siddheshwar Baliram Bondar, ITI Berhampur Principal Dr Rajat Panigrahy and others.

Earlier, the ITI Berhampur had opened a Scrap Sculpture Park inside its campus last year, which continues to achieve more and more accolades not just from the locals but also from visitors coming from outside the State.

It is the largest Scrap Sculpture Park in any educational institute in the country.
