The Odisha government will launch 'Mo College' initiative to create a platform where alumni of institutes can connect and contribute for the development of their alma mater, The Hindu has reported.
The decision was announced by Higher Education Minister Arun Sahoo in Odisha assembly on July 30 in reply of an adjournment motion notice. Sahoo informed the House that through the Mo College programme, the state government will take steps for the development of colleges with help from their alumni.
