ABOUT SOA UNIVERSITY ::
Siksha O Ansusandhan University metamorphosised from a very modest beginning. Orissa was a poor state and the literacy levels were low. Most students who could afford, migrated to Universities outside the state to pursue careers in technical fields due to lack of facilities in Orissa.
This trend was unacceptable to atleast one visionary professor Prof.(Dr.) Manojranjan Nayak who decided to establish an Engineering Instiute in Bhubaneswar. The Institute was named - Institute of Technical Education & Research, fondly known as ITER.
