Hyderabad: Osmania University has sought the help of National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) to develop infrastructure for its BE (Mining) course that was reintroduced in the University, according to a press release.

In a letter, Vice-Chancellor, Osmania University (OU), Prof D Ravinder urged V Ramesh Babu, Director (operations) NTPC to help under its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative.

The intake for BE (Mining) course of OU is 60 students and it starts from 2021-22. The CSR funds are being sought to develop infrastructure to impart hands-on training to students, he said.
