How can a township that promises to herald in Bengal’s bright future
be complete without a robust educational infrastructure?
Keeping in mind the fact that Sujalaam Skycity is aimed at becoming
the perfect blend of life and work, it is but obvious that the aerotropolis
will make sure its young residents are geared up for the bright and challenging
future ahead.
Therefore, cutting-edge institutions in and around the Skycity will
serve the dual purpose of both fuelling the industrial and commercial zones
coming up within the township through a steady supply of bright and
accomplished leaders and also set an example of first-rate education in the
State.
Just to put things in perspective, it has to be mentioned that the
township already has 17
engineering colleges, two deemed universities, 18 polytechnics and management
institutes within its immediate and extended catchment area. These formidable
institutions produce over 15,000 English-speaking graduates per annum, of whom
around 80% are from technical streams.
A four-hour drive
from the Skycity will take you to Kharagpur IIT, the world-famous seat of
learning. Visva-Bharati, one of the
Nation’s largest Central Government-funded autonomous universities set up by none
other than Rabindranath Tagore himself, neighbours the aerotropolis.
In Dhanbad, only 89
kilometers away, are the Indian School of Mines, Central Mining Research
Institute and Central Fuel Research Institute.
Sujalaam’s Education
Skycity, which will cater to about 15,000 students, will complement this array of
mighty educational establishments.
Realising its potential as a thriving hub of life and
work in the coming years, the Narayana Group of Educational Institutions is already
coming up with a Boarding School at Sujalaam Skycity to further bolster the
region’s education scenario.
Narayana Group, which is Asia’s largest educational
conglomerate with more than 300,000 students in over 500 centres, is spread across
13 states. In the Skycity, the group has already begun constructing a Day Boarding
School on 3.25 acres, a vast enterprise in its own right.
Clearly, the first chapter of a glorious history of skills and
knowledge is already being written at Sujalaam Skycity.
