Raj Athwal, Club President, Odisha FC, said, “We are aware of the impact that the SNM Group has on the mining community in Odisha. Their vision of bringing the local communities together is commendable and that is what we want to build at Odisha FC as well. I would like to welcome the SNM group to the OFC family. We look forward to working together in tandem for the next two years”.
Subrat Panda, General Manager, SN Mohanty Group, said, “SN Mohanty Group is one of the leading mining companies in India. We’re determined to bring our local communities together and provide support in every possible way. Football is a global phenomenon and it has the ability to bring people together.
The SNM Group was first established by the late Surendra Nath Mohanty as a mining farm in the 1980s. The mining unit staff of SNM quickly expanded into a broad-based economic conglomerate. The company now conducts business in a variety of industries, including manufacturing, power generation, infrastructure construction, and solar energy generation.
