Palita and COATS Professor Jagabandhu Samal on the dais and officials and faculty members of both the institutions. Prof. Palita expressed interest in the MoU to work in focused areas of social sciences, biodiversity, and journalism and highlighted its role in promoting the development of the marginalized sections of the society. He said “in the recent NITI Ayog survey Koraput has been placed as the number one/or most improved aspirational district of the country in the field of Education. The culture, the traditions of the tribal need to be maintained and their economic status needs to be improved. However, increasing deforestation and depletion of natural resources is a case concern in the era of climate change. The signing of MoU is need of the hour in which both the institutions jointly support each other for the benefit of the Koraput region and especially for tribal life and livelihood”.
