- Dr. M Kalpana Devi says:
- “The idea which inspired me to join SSU is that Sri Sri University, Odisha founded on the ideals of imparting quality and holistic education envisions to be the global powerhouse of producing skilled graduates who would stand to offer out-of-the-box solutions, and above all be humane.
In its holistic mission, the University has formulated its curricula integrating the different philosophies and modern technicalities and learning aids. Like every big dream has a blueprint or a road-map of achievable targets. The University too stands to work towards its mission with a global vision on its end.” - Interests:
