Driems University

DRIEMS, founded in the wake of the devastating Super Cyclone of 1999 in Odisha, stands as a testament to unwavering determination and visionary leadership. The institute began as a humble educational initiative in a rural area of Cuttack, a leap of faith by its founder, Dr. Pramod Chandra Rath, who was inspired to fulfill his father’s dream. What started twenty-four years ago as a modest step has today evolved into a prestigious University, an institution of excellence that continues to expand the horizons of knowledge and service. Situated on a sprawling 90-acre campus, DRIEMS has grown from its infant beginnings in a small building with a single B.Tech course to an educational powerhouse catering to over 6000 students. It now offers more than 50 courses across 12 disciplines, including Engineering, Medical Science, Paramedical, Nursing, Pharmacy, Management, and Polytechnic programs. The institute’s growth is not just quantifiable in numbers but also in the quality and diversity of education it provides, ensuring that it truly is a place where lives are made.
