Observation of "Janata Curfew" - An appeal from Director

Dear All

All of us are aware of the fact that the best way to protect ourselves from Covid-19 is to isolate ourselves from it. It is of your information that our Hon'ble Prime Minister in his address to the nation on 19th March, 2020 called upon for participation in the observation of "Janata Curfew" from 7 AM to 9 PM on 22nd March 2020 as an effective means.

Our institute decided to observe the same in a spirited manner by closing the academic campus of our institute and the services like transportation (other than the essential services) and the market for observing the curfew today. I personally appeal to you to voluntarily join the observation of the same.

I am sure that we can unitedly conquer the pandemic and can help our nation to protect itself and set an example to the world.


With best wishes,
Prof R V Raja Kumar
Director, IIT Bhubaneswar
