The Union Government has decided to shift the Biju Patnaik National Steel Institute (BPNSI) from Puri to Kalinganagar in Jajpur district, where a steel hub is in the making.
With Union Petroleum and Natural Gas and Steel Minister Dharmendra Pradhan harping on establishment of India’s first steel hub in Kalinganagar, shifting of the BPNSI, which is run by the Ministry of Steel, would be useful for the hub. For this, the Centre has requested the State Government to provide 50 acres of land.
The BPNSI was set up in 2002 for the development of steel sector with an emphasis on the secondary steel sector.
The institute had adopted a three-pronged approach, namely ‘Education and Training, Research and Development and Consultancy, to boost the steel sector.
