The letter said that the University had been taking a lead role in skill development and vocational education and it has created a social entrepreneurship outreach entity – Gram Tarang – which is one of the first partners of NSDC with a mandate of training 1, 00,000 youth by 2020.

Centurion University’s proposal to be recognized as a Skill cum Workman University has been duly considered and recommended to Ministry of Labor and Employment and Ministry of HRD, Government of India by the Government of Odisha.

This recognition will allow the University to award national certificates for work preparation and national competency certificate up to Pre-Diploma and Diploma level to have Pan-India acceptability, said the letter.
