Furthermore, Pandian unveiled the ground-breaking “Nabin Odisha Magic Card” initiative, slated for online registration launch on March 5. This visionary project aims to revolutionize student engagement and empowerment through a points-based smart card system.
The “Nabin Odisha Magic Card” is envisioned as a multifaceted tool fostering academic, personal, and professional development. Employing a tiered structure—Silver, Gold, and Platinum—based on earned points, the card grants access to a plethora of benefits including travel concessions, digital resources, skill development opportunities, and career guidance.
Noteworthy features include access to academic and personality development courses, employment avenues, volunteering opportunities, and integration with the startup ecosystem. Additionally, the card will serve as a bridge between students and potential employers, leveraging data-sharing mechanisms akin to professional networking platforms.
Pandian assured active collaboration with the private sector to enhance card benefits, ensuring a holistic approach to student welfare. With an online registration portal set to debut on March 5, the initiative targets UG and PG students, with distribution scheduled for August 15.
The program culminated in a jubilant atmosphere, with students expressing gratitude towards Chief Minister Patnaik and Kartik Pandian for their visionary leadership and swift execution of the program.
