Global Centre for Enterprise Risk Management Opens at Sri Sri University
Imagine a new school inside Sri Sri University that helps people learn all about handling tricky situations.
This school is a special partnership with a group called IRM, which is famous worldwide for teaching about managing risks.
It's the first of its kind in East India!
They want to help students and grown-ups become super smart at spotting and dealing with dangers, like problems with money, computers, or even the weather.
The center has lots of books, online tools, and even a place to honor people who were great at managing risks before.
They will also study important topics like keeping communities safe and healthy.
The goal is to make India stronger and better prepared for whatever comes next, by training leaders who can think ahead and solve problems.
The Global Centre for Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) has opened at Sri Sri University in Odisha.
It is a collaboration between Sri Sri University and the Institute of Risk Management (IRM) India Affiliate.
The Centre aims to advance ERM education, foster innovation, and promote thought leadership in East India.
