Cuttack-based Sri Sri University launched 4 new Research Centers and 20 New Programs at the hands of global spiritual master and founder of The Art of Living, Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, opening up the academic avenues for research and development in some of these areas for the very first time in the world.
Centers like Sri Sri Centre for Advanced Research in Kathak ( first and largest in the world); Sri Sri Centre for Advanced Research in Bharatnatyam; Sri Sri School of Cyber Peace ( first in the world); Sri Sri Centre for Translation and Interpreting Studies( 1st in India); and Sri Sri Centre for Advanced Research in Water Resources and Environment Management, were inaugurated, apart from a New Faculty-Faculty of Emerging Technologies.
“The world is incomplete without our art, architecture, culture and science,” said Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar at the inaugural ceremony, “This is something unique that research which is a left-brain activity is now shaking hands with what have been essentially right brain activities.” Gurudev also emphasized that, the all-round development of students can only happen when we create such an ecosystem where happiness is realized as one’s own nature along with learning.
