Bhubaneswar, Oct 23(IBNS): Akanksha, the CSR arm of Infosys Bhubaneswar Development Center (DC), today announced an enhanced partnership with the Central Institute of Plastics Engineering and Technology (CIPET), a Government of India Institute.

Through this partnership, Akanksha will sponsor and support the free residential technical skill development training of 240 students across 4 batches at the CIPET campus II in Bhubaneswar.
