New Delhi: During a function to commemorate the institution's seventh foundation day on Thursday, seven IIM Sambalpur students who topped the first-year examinations each earned Rs 1 lakh scholarships.
Dharmendra Pradhan, the Union Minister of Education, urged students to create a "synergy of modern education with traditional values."
