Odisha Governor S C Jamir today asked teachers and students of Berhampur University to take a new year's pledge to make it one of the best educational institutes in the country.
"The resolution for making Berhampur University the finest university is necessary as not a single university in the country has got a place among the best 200 universities in the world," Jamir told a programme to mark the 48th foundation day of the university.
Stating that most universities in the country were lagging behind in quality, he said he wanted to build an university in the state to become a role-model for others.
