The visit focused on reviewing the university's initiatives in innovation, research and vocational training, with particular emphasis on programmes that combine technology with traditional crafts and entrepreneurship.

Addressing a commemorative event on July 15, Kambhampati had described Gopabandhu Das as a personality whose life continues to inspire generations.

"Some personalities belong to history, some belong to a particular generation, but a rare few transcend time and become a living source of inspiration for every generation. Late Pandit Gopabandhu Das ji belongs to that rare category," he had said.

The Governor had also highlighted the social reformer's enduring legacy of compassion, courage, selfless service and commitment to education, noting that his contributions continue to inspire the people of Odisha and the nation.

"He left behind no wealth, no palace and no personal legacy of material possessions. Instead, he gifted Odisha and India an everlasting legacy of compassion, courage, character and selfless service," the Governor stated. (ANI)
