Majhi launched the initiative in presence of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, Odisha Electronics & IT Minister Mukesh Mahaling and Global Finance & Technology Network (GFTN) CEO Sopnendu Mohanty and others.

Terming it a transformative initiative that will shape the future of finance in Odisha, Majhi said it will strengthen India’s global leadership in the digital economy.

Odisha will play a central role in making India a global economic leader, the CM said.

This hub has been launched by Odisha government in collaboration with Singapore’s GFTN, National University of Singapore (NUS) and Asian Institute of Digital Finance (AIDF).

Under the initiative, Majhi said over 7,000 students from all 30 districts of the state will get skill training, and it will run certification programmes designed by the AIDF at the NUS.

He said that this initiative was an outcome of the historic visit of Singapore President Tharman Shanmugaratnam to Odisha in January this year.
