Odia

Doctor Sir, please write an Odia song in this theme.

By 2014, the Indian government had declared Tamil, Sanskrit, Kannada, Telugu, Malayalam, and Odia as classical languages of India.

The Culture department has decided to dedicate the theme pavilion of the Cuttack’s historic maritime festival to classical Odia language this year.

Bhubaneswar: Preparation of books in Odia language at the under-graduate (UG) level, as mandated under the National Education Policy (NEP)-2020, may take longer owing to a lack of clarity among academics of state's public universities, who are implementing the work.

The Odia Literary Trail aims to offer visitors a vibrant and immersive journey into the evolution of the Odia language.

Envisioned as more than a museum, the Bhavan will celebrate the journey of the Odia language and culture from ancient Kalinga to modern Odisha. It will chronicle milestones from Adi Kabi Sarala Das to Haladhar Nag, and literary giants like Upendra Bhanja, Fakir Mohan Senapati, Manoj Das, and Jayanta Mahapatra.
