Journey of CV Raman Global University through the eyes of its founder
The University has set its eyes on becoming the best university of India in future
Today, CV Raman Group of Institutions has reached a new height with a new name to its constant strife towards achieving excellence in education- The CV Raman Global University, Odisha’s newest Global University.
What is today a multidisciplinary and renowned university with thousands of students pursuing professional education under its encouraging environment, once started from a humble industrial training center. Like a giant tree of knowledge, today’s CV Raman Global University has taken root from a revolutionary vision of educationist and CV Raman Global University’s founder Sanjib Kumar Rout.
The story of CV Raman Global University’s growth into the global edifice it is today is synonymous with its founder’s journey from an engineer into an educationist who believes in educating the next generation of engineering professionals to create a better world. The first chapter of CV Raman Global University’s success was written in 1990 when its founder was looking to do something independently, breaking away from mainstream 9-to-5 jobs. Disillusioned from the corporate world after working in the industries for quite some years, he wanted to start a venture that would address the issue of unemployment among the youth, especially the engineers.
His goal of creating an institution that would educate and train the youth in technical skills to bridge the skill gap successfully and realizing the employment potential of the youth was fruitful in 1992 when an industrial training centre became the first institution of the CV Raman Group of Institutions. In the year 1996 when the Government of Odisha allowed the establishment of private engineering institutions, Mr. Sanjib Kumar Rout laid the foundation of CV Raman College of Engineering to impart high quality technical education to the youth of Eastern India. Since then, the CV Raman Group of Institutions have not looked back on their path to success.
The following year saw CV Raman College of Engineering operate out of a rented campus but in the next few years, the college established its first solid imprint with a permanent and completely owned engineering building. Many challenges came in the road to establishing itself as a credible institution. From arranging the capital to start the college to building a permanent campus, to forming an able and highly experienced team of faculty to teach the students, CV Raman College of Engineering’s initial journey was not without a few jitters.
It was with unwavering belief and support from the founder’s family that he stayed on the course of building his dream engineering college. It was after facing many financial hurdles and challenges that CV Raman College of Engineering took shape. Mr. Sanjib Rout and his family have nourished the foundation of this prestigious institution with their life savings and the university today is like a personal milestone for the founder. It is only with solid determination and perseverance that the erstwhile college has grown into a world class university today.
