Odisha Amends University Recruitment Process Rules

The Odisha government has approved an amendment to enhance academic excellence, governance, and administrative efficiency at universities. The amendment aims to improve the recruitment process by streamlining it and eliminating stagnation caused by court cases, allowing for a more transparent and time-bound procedure for appointments. It also incorporates aspects of the National Education Policy, such as multi-disciplinary education, skill development, and enhanced access through distance learning. Additionally, the government has approved amendments to the Industrial Policy Resolution 2015 and the Odisha Food Processing Policy 2016 to provide relief to investors affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, including a one-time relaxation measure for those who had already commenced commercial production but failed to file their application in time.
