Among other distinguished guests were Prof. Bhaskar Behera, Chairperson of the Postgraduate Council; Ms. Kukumina Das, Registrar of the University; Dr. Choudhury Satyabrata Nanda, President of the Alumni Association; and Dr. Debadatta Das, Secretary of the Association. All shared their thoughts and best wishes during the gathering.

A special highlight of the event was the release of the alumni newsletter titled “Byasa Prajna.” Additionally, 27 outstanding former students were felicitated with certificates of honour and commemorative mementos for their remarkable achievements.

The cultural segment of the program featured captivating performances of Odissi dance and devotional songs, transforming the event into a vibrant celebration of art and tradition. The event was compered by Dr. Minati Mishra, Vice President of the Alumni Association, and the vote of thanks was delivered by Dr. Jagannath Behera, Joint Secretary.
