Angul: Odisha's Industrial Hub
Located in central Odisha, Angul is recognized as the state's industrial capital, rich in natural resources and cultural heritage. As a major producer of coal, aluminium, steel, and thermal power, Angul hosts prominent industries like Mahanadi Coalfields Limited (MCL), National Aluminium Company (NALCO), National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC), and Talcher Thermal Power Station (TTPS).
?Despite the industrial presence, many young professionals in Angul face significant challenges in finding employment and advancing their careers.
The story of Premjit Behera highlights these struggles and demonstrates the transformative impact of skill development.
Premjit's Journey: Overcoming the Challenges of Rural Youth to Achieve Success
Premjit's journey began in his final semester of Electrical Engineering, where he faced a common but daunting challenge shared by many rural students. Coming from Angul, a small town, his opportunities were limited. To graduate, he needed to complete either an internship or submit a technical project. However, finding an internship in his hometown was nearly impossible. Like many rural youth, moving to another city for opportunities meant additional expenses Premjit couldn’t afford.
On top of these financial burdens, Premjit felt unprepared to tackle a technical project on his own. The lack of access to hands-on learning and practical experience

With this new skill set, he not only earns a good income but also makes a significant impact within his community.
