Odia MBA study materials by IGNOU, AICTE launched

BHUBANESWAR : Union Education minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Tuesday said Odisha is on the path to become a knowledge-based society with language the biggest contributor to its progress.

Releasing the Odia version of MBA study material of Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) here, Pradhan said societal progress occurs through linguistic progress. This initiative by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) will mark a new chapter in Odisha’s higher and professional education.

While lauding the role of AICTE in promoting technical and professional education in India, Pradhan said it has integrated Indian languages into technical education. “IGNOU and AICTE have played significant roles in providing affordable education to students across the country and abroad. Developing MBA course materials in Odia is another commendable joint effort by the two premier institutes,” he added.
