Former Odisha Chief Secretary Bijay Kumar Patnaik Quits Vedanta University Project
Former Odisha chief secretary Bijay Kumar Patnaik quits Vedanta group as president of its university project . Lack of interest from Anil Agarwal Foundation in establishing Vedanta University caused me to quit as president of its varsity project, says Patnaik.
Patnaik said that land is a major hurdle before the establishment of the Vedanta University. The Anil Agarwal Foundation (AAF) has been the promoter of the proposed world class varsity. However, activities of varsity should not stop due to unavailability of the land immediately. “The varsity is not an industry. It can be started from rented houses also,” Patnaik said.
