August 16, 2024: B.Sc. (Hons.) Agribusiness Management presents a wide range of opportunities for students' career growth. Recognizing the scope and importance of this course, the Government of India's New Education Policy (NEP), 2020, has identified B.Sc. (Hons.) Agribusiness Management as a distinct course under the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR). Currently, this program is offered in states like Odisha, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Punjab, and Maharashtra. While many universities offer MBA or PGDM (Agribusiness Management) degrees, some renowned universities in Odisha, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Punjab, and Maharashtra provide B.Sc. (Hons.) Agribusiness Management. This course is designed to equip graduates with the skills to secure jobs in this dynamic field and start their own agri-enterprises.
The government has launched various schemes with subsidies and opportunities for agribusiness graduates and post-graduates. Notably, the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) has started recruiting Assistant Managers (Agribusiness Management) with a required qualification of a Bachelor's Degree in Agriculture Business Management. Agribusiness degree candidates are also sought after by top organizations like FCI, NFL, RCFL, NSC, HIL, NAFED, ICAR, agricultural universities, and leading agri-input and output-based companies. Higher education in Agribusiness Management has vast scope both nationally and internationally. The Indian Institute of Management (IIM), Ahmedabad, offers a Post Graduate Programme in Food and Agri-Business Management, while IIM Lucknow offers a Post Graduate Programme in Agribusiness Management. Many other renowned institutions provide postgraduate, doctoral, and postdoctoral degrees in Agribusiness Management. Although agribusiness education is still in its early stages, it has begun its successful journey. Graduates with this B.Sc. (Hons.) Agribusiness degree will gain a competitive advantage in the job market.

Speaking about the variety of startups in Odisha, he said that because of the enthusiastic support from investors, the state's startup ecosystem has matured to a point where it is ready for the establishment of the FICCI FLO Odisha Chapter. He also commended #SriSriUniv's administration for taking on this joint venture.

She applauded the dedication and excitement of #SriSriUniv in encouraging female-led enterprises. Our Hon'ble VC Prof. BR Sharma addressed the crowd and read a lovely poem he had written especially for the occasion.
Women have left their mark on both time and space with their grace and strength; We are informed that the leaders and trailblasers of today descended from ancient queens and brash deities; Women have made significant contributions to science, art, and literature; From Gargi Maitri through Savitribai Phule, their influence and impact have grown; Women excel in families and communities as mothers, sisters, and friends; They provide a steady source of light, guidance, and nurture day and night; So let's honour the contributions that women have made and will continue to make; their courage and fortitude serve as an inspiration to all of us to stand up and affect change, both large and little.
Our Honourable President Prof. Rajita Kulkarni praised Dr Omkar Rai for creating a vibrant startup environment in Odisha and referred to FICCI FLO as the best catalyst and accelerator for the women's entrepreneur ecosystem in the presidential address. Speaking of the university, she stated that #SriSriUniv has very nearly achieved gender parity, and this event aims to both honour current female entrepreneurs and provide inspiration for upcoming female business owners. She also exhorted all women to embrace their inner Shakti in order to seek for, seize, and then share their power.

Sri Sri University Inaugurates Firing Range
August 19, 2022: For all NCC cadets, range fire is a crucial and required training exercise. The technique of shooting is taught to cadets during weapon training, which is a crucial component of NCC. This is done in order to help the cadets overcome their phobia of guns. The skill of shooting develops a cadet's overall well-being and teaches precision, accuracy, coordination of body motions, confidence, and other skills that help them become better public speakers.
A 50M Short Shooting Range, established by the 1 Odisha Bn NCC (Army) in collaboration with Sri Sri University on August 3rd at around 10:30 am, was officially opened by Gaurav Sharma, Director of Operations, Sri Sri University, and Col. Rajneesh Kapoor, Group Commander, Cuttack NCC Group, Odisha. On this occasion, Col. P K Choudhury, Commanding Officer 1 (O) Bn NCC, Capt. (IN) Chanadra Sekhar Panda, Retd, Director Student Affairs, and Dr Anupam Dakua, CTO, Sri Sri University were there and offered their encouragement to everyone. To commemorate the historic event, a large number of junior officers from the 1 (O) Bn NCC as well as faculty and personnel from Sri Sri University were present.
Around 3000 NCC cadets from various institutions within a 100-km radius of Sri Sri University will be helped by this range. 30 Cadets from six colleges took part in the inaugural session, and they fired 22 Deluxe Rifles under the guidance of JCO for Training N B Thapa. Mr. Gourav Verma, Directorate of Operations, Sri Sri University, and Col. Rajneesh Kapoor, Group Commander, Cuttack NCC Group, presented prizes to the two cadets—a boy and a girl—who fired the most shots at the bull.

Placements: The college has not yet passed out students, but hopefully, it will have good placements. The new iconic tower for interactive medicine is almost completed, and it has been exciting to study there. There are many jobs you can prefer, starting from working in hospitals to being a medical officer. Now, the posts are even opening in the army.
Placements: I am the first batch of MSc in Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry. B.Sc. Agriculture students got placement in approximately 45% of cases, and students from other departments got placement in approximately 70% of cases. Internships are mandatory for agricultural students. The average salary offered is Rs. 25,000 per month.
Placements: For our course, there were not many placement opportunities available for the students. Hardly 10-15% of the students get placed at this college. The average package offered at the college was between 2-2.5 LPA. Top recruitments were done for roles in sales and marketing.
Placements: Well, my batch was the 1st Psychology Batch of B.Sc (Hons.) in Psychology and Contemplative Studies. We had 13 people in our class, and it's a great place to study. Now ample scholarships are also provided. We had great internship opportunities, like in Industrial Psychology, where I did my internship in Jindal Stainless Limited. Many of my friends did their internships in research departments like the Council for Social Sciences. Clinical internships were in KIMS Psychiatry Ward and many more. ...
Placements: As the course of psychology is a professional one, no placements occur in bachelor's degree. One has to do further studies. Therefore, there are no placements, and most people choose to go for master's or PhD or other certificate courses after the degree ends.
Placements: Bachelors in psychology and contemplative studies do not have any placement options offered by the university. Most students opt for a master's and Ph.D. (higher education) as it is the minimum job requirement in the market. Every student gets an internship as it's a part of our course in their 2nd year.
