A Scrap Sculpture Park (SSP) said to be the largest park in any technical institute in India was inaugurated at ITI premises at Brahmapur.
ITI Principal Dr Rajat Kumar Panigrahi said the heart, mind and hand shown in sculpture is the largest of its kind in any technical institute in the country so far. This is a new innovative concept of skill development through waste management. According to information available, twenty sculptures from 7 feet to 70 feet are being designed, fabricated and installed in an open space in the institute’s campus.
Three sculptures have already been featured in the Asia Book of Records and India Book of Records and two of them are in the pipeline to be recognised by the Guinness Book of World Records, Dr Panigrahi added.
Among those who attended the event were Massod Hussainy from Tata, ODA Chairman Subroto Bagchi, secretary of SDTE Sanjay Singh, OSDA CEO Rashmita Panda, DTET chief Reghu G, Collector of Ganjam Vijay Amrut Kulange, BeMC Commissioner Chakravarti Singh Rathord and Sub-Collector of Brahmapur Sindhye Datatreya Bhaushaeb.
Impressed by innovative works of the students, the Tata official assured that all the girl trainees would join directly in the Tata Advanced System Limited soon after they pass the course.
