Centurion at Large

The Best University of the Century

Message From The Managing Trustee

Dear Friends,

It's our proud privilege to present Centurion University, an institution designed to serve the young talent pool in arguably one of the most backward regions of the country. Centurion University has been created with a vision to develop and equip young boys and girls into responsible men and women ready to take on the opportunities and challenges arising before them. Collaborating with the rural populace not only makes social sense but also business sense. A mere one percent increase in our country's rural income translates into a mind-boggling Rs. 10,000 crores of purchasing power. However, tapping this huge potential has its own set of challenges. It is widely acknowledged that rural markets are a mixed bag - where huge opportunities come with myriad challenges and complexities. As realisation dawns and the world recognises the immense potential of our rural heartland — the base of our economic pyramid, Centurion University is uniquely poised to lead the rural education revolution by developing a pool of professionals well versed in management techniques and adept at confronting challenges thrown up by rural markets, social structures and institutions. It is this vision that led to the initiation of our institution in the State of Orissa, one of the poorest states in the country. Centurion University is unique in its position as it is designated to promote world class education in the country and abroad. The programmes of the University are designed to promote entrepreneurship amongst its students and the region. Our mandate is to become a vehicle of social change through quality education and cutting edge research at the grassroots level. This sensitive and unique balance is a factor in the development of various programmes now underway at Centurion University. Each new development initiative at Centurion University shares the goal of advancing the unique student, teaching and research experience, sensitively sustaining the existing foundations, while creating the space and support for new collaborations.

We would be delighted to have you share our dream and associate with this fledgling yet vibrant institution of ours. We warmly welcome you to Centurion University.

— Prof. D. N. Rao
