Stating that an occasion like platinum jubilee is a milestone, Kovind said, “During a long journey, when we come across it, we pause; then we look back and gaze ahead. It’s time to take stock of achievements as well as the areas where further improvements are possible.”

For the whole Utkal community, it was the time to rededicate themselves to the vision of the institution’s founders, the President said.

He expressed confidence that the University would remain committed to playing a significant role in higher education and research, nationally and globally. Earlier in the day, the President laid the foundation stone of the Paika Rebellion Memorial at Barunei Hill in Khurdha.
