"Our institute has crossed the Golden Jubilee and we are already on the threshold of a major milestone. It becomes an occasion to rededicate ourselves to the noble values cherished by our former late legendary Shri Biju Patnaik, who had a vision of producing quality technicians from this institute. During these 58 years from 1966-2024, the world has changed, the industrial portfolio has changed and some of our former dedicated Principals, teachers, non-teaching staff, alumni and well-wishers have lost their lives."
