Berhampur: Students of ITI Berhampur have developed a sculpture of Biju Babu using fan bearings, cycle chain, nuts and bolts to give an innovative tribute to Biju Patnaik on his 107th birth anniversary, Sunday.
In continuation of their efforts on ‘Waste to wealth’, ITI students have earlier developed sculptures of Netaji Subhas Bose and Mahatma Gandhi. However, this sculpture is the tallest one among those.
It is the largest sculpture of Biju Babu in the country made out of scraps, said the principal of ITI Berhampur Rajat Kumar Panigrahi. 100 students from Fitter, Painter departments worked for 12 days to make this unique sculpture.
Inauguration of the Biju Patnaik statue was done at ITI Berhampur in presence of Berhampur MP and MLA, Aska MP, Labour Minister Srikanta Sahu, CM’s political secretary Gopabandhu Dash, ex-BJD MLA Ramesh Chandra Chyau Patnaik and Subash Maharana.
