Bhubaneswar City Knowledge Innovation Cluster Foundation, also recognized as an “ATL SARTHI Center” by NITI Aayog Official under the Atal Innovation Mission Official , supports and nurtures all ATL Schools across Odisha. As part of our continued commitment to inspire young minds, BCKIC launched “Innovation Weekend 2025” — a dynamic initiative featuring a series of PEP Talks, Industry Exposure Visits, and Research Immersion Programs aimed at empowering the next generation of innovators.
The PEP talk series started on Sunday, 13th July 2025, with our very first PEP Talk titled “Why EV Today?” – where we explored:
🔌 Basics of Electric Vehicles
🌿 Benefits of Going Electric
🚘 Future of Mobility
🛠️ How EVs Work
We were honored to welcome Mr. Amiya Kumar Nayak, EV Engineer & Trainer at Skyy Skill Academy, who brought rich insights and practical knowledge from his experience in EV manufacturing and training. His session was highly engaging and informative for all attendees.
More than 50 students out of 70 registered from 20+ schools across Odisha actively participated in the session, making it a truly interactive and impactful experience. The Q&A session was buzzing with curiosity, thoughtful questions, and a genuine desire to learn.
Upcoming weekends will feature:
