State-of-the-art science labs, classrooms, library & computer labs have enhanced the learning and research experience of the students
Jajpur : Education at the college level plays a crucial role in guiding students towards new career paths. In this regard, the Odisha government is dedicated to offering students innovative opportunities for their future careers by enhancing and modernizing infrastructure at different higher colleges and universities in the state. As part of this initiative, Narasingh Choudhury (N.C.) Autonomous College in Jajpur is undergoing extensive renovations across different departments.
N.C. Autonomous College in Jajpur stands out as one of the premier higher education institutions in Odisha. Established in 1946, this college gained autonomous status in 1999, leading to the introduction of various new academic programs and a focus on enhancing its infrastructure.
In response to the growing interest of students across various districts in the Science Department at N.C. Autonomous College, significant advancements have been made in the department’s facilities. To enhance student convenience, classrooms and advanced laboratories have been established, ensuring an improved educational experience. This initiative has been made possible through financial support from the Odisha Mineral Bearing Areas Development Corporation (OMBADC), reflecting a commitment to advancing educational infrastructure in the region.
With the support of OMBADC, a state-of-the-art four storied building has been constructed for the science department at N.C. Autonomous College in Jajpur. It includes dedicated classrooms and laboratories for Physics, Chemistry, Botany and Zoology. As a result, students can now seamlessly conduct practical experiments alongside their theoretical coursework. Consequently, this has fostered a notable increase in student interest in exploring diverse aspects of science, enhancing their overall educational experience.
The newly constructed building features a head of department and research associate room. In addition, it has a conference and library hall, a computer lab and a record room to support various academic activities. To enhance student experience, provisions have also been made for a waiting room, drinking water supply and clean restrooms. This initiative is supported by OMBADC, reflecting its commitment to improving educational resources for students.
“The students enrolled in the Science Department require practical education alongside theoretical studies. To meet this need, modern infrastructure has been developed with the support of OMBADC. This new facility addresses previous challenges related to practical work in our laboratories, providing students with valuable opportunities to conduct research across various subjects,” says Dr. Ranjan Kumar Behera, Principal, N.C. Autonomous College, Jajpur.
The establishment of modern infrastructure in the science department at N.C. Autonomous College, supported by OMBADC, has successfully drawn students from various regions across Odisha. This effort has resulted in the creation of an enriching educational environment that is drawing students from Jajpur and nearby districts. Every year, over 500 undergraduates and more than 190 postgraduates study here, each striving to achieve accolades in the country and abroad.
