Patnaik National Steel Institute (BPNSI), an autonomous Institute
constituted by Ministry of Steel, Government of India was
established on 1st January, 2002 for the development of
Steel Sector with an emphasis on the Secondary Steel Sector. The
Institute has adopted a three pronged approach, namely Education &
Training, Research & Development, and Consultancy to boost the steel
sector. The Institute creates trained man power with the requisite
skill set and also re-skills and upgrades the skills of the existing
manpower in the steel sector. To cater to these varying needs of the
Industry, the Institute while offering diploma level courses, also
offers Short Term Courses. Within a short span of its existence
since its inception, it has established a noteworthy ability of
producing trained manpower as reflected by 70% placement of its
students. Beside academics, the Institute fosters higher & more
efficient production of steel by providing technical consultancy to
the steel plants for implementing Energy Efficient
Manufacturing Processes. The Institute also creates and
maintains Global linkages with Global Institutes to provide state of
the art energy efficient technologies to the steel plants cost
effectively. The Institute collaborates with UNDP, UNIDO and other
International bodies to aid in the re-engineering & modernization of
steel plants. These objectives are materialized by Consultancy,
Training and Networking. Carbon emission is a hot Global issue in
today’s world order. As per the KYOTO PROTOCOL, the developed
Nations fund the reduction in Industrial emissions in the developing
Nations. These activities come under the project “CLEAN DEVELOPMENT
MECHANISM (CDM)”. BPNSI has already completed the first phase of a
CDM project for a group of 17 sponge iron plants in Orissa by
developing a Project Design Document. This project
was funded by JP Steel Plantech of Japan. BPNSI has been requested
to take up a similar project for the sponge iron plants of West
Bengal.
BPNSI is one of the few Institutes in the country and
the only Institute in Orissa that offers a curriculum in Iron
& Steel manufacturing & Plant Management. These courses are
designed by eminent persons from academia & Industriy, and are
geared to enable the students to be ready to contribute to growth of
Steel Sector through Scientific & Structured
approaches when they join the workforce.
The Institute follows “PROBLEM BASED LEARNING” teaching methodology
to familiarize the students with the real life problems of the
Industry. The students are also sent for Industrial Training
to make them acquainted with the Industrial environment and culture.
We also get constant feed back from the employers of our students
and fine tune our curriculum accordingly.
Currently the Institute
is offering a one and half year “Advanced Certificate Course on
Iron and Steel Manufacturing & Plant Management.” The Institute
plans to offer Degree and P.G. Diploma courses in the future.
