Bhadrak Institute of Engineering & Technology

Bhadrak Institute of Engineering & Technology formerly Barapada Engineering School (BES) was founded in 1957. Harekrushna Mahatab, former Chief Minister of Odisha, India conceived the idea with the objective of developing it in due course to a rural university.

Initially the school was organized and managed by a citizen of Bhadrak, Narendra Prasad Das. However, in the middle 1960s, it was closed down. It restarted in 1982 as Barapda School of Engineering & Technology (BSET) at the same site. This was possible due to the leadership of Chintamani Mohanty, a leading advocate of Bhadrak, who acted as the President of the governing body. Its growth was further advanced when Sri Jugal Kishore Pattnaik, the Minister of Odisha obtained help for its improvement.

In the meantime, the governing body was reconstituted with Sri Debendra Mohapatra as its president. The institution embarked upon a new phase of development when the governing body was reconstituted in July 1990, with Sj. Prafulla Samal, the Minister of State of Labour & Employment, as its president.
