urturing talent to bring the requisite transformation

from studentship to corporate citizenship is a difficult, Nyet rewarding process. This transformation becomes

a reality when the finer nuances of management are

inculcated into the ignited minds of future action leaders in an

environment of academic rigour, unleashing thereby

opportunities to ensure holistic development of each student.

It is worth mentioning here that our students have not only

excelled in academics, but also have proved their mettle in

sports, curricular and extracurricular activities. They have

earned many laurels for the institute while adding feathers to

their own caps.

'Discipline is the defining fire by which talent becomes ability'.

The importance of discipline is reaffirmed in every sphere of

our activities. The unremitting performance of students bears

testimony to the fact that what we preach, we practice.

I welcome you to this citadel of learning to have a meaningful,

memorable and rewarding experience.

Dr. Mrutyunjay DashPrincipal,

Prof. Soumendra Mohan Patnaik,Vice-Chancellor,Utkal University

The institute provides opportunity to its students to get industry exposure

to relate theoretical learning with practice. The basic objective of

organizing Industry Visit is to get hands-on experience on work

environment, people management and overall real world functioning.

Therefore, the Industry Visit sensitizes the students to correlate the

theoretical inputs shared in the classroom with the complexities involved

and challenges faced by the organizations at the ground level.

Industry exposure also comes through interaction with Industry stalwarts

and practitioners, which is a regular phenomenon at ASBM.
