Happy Utkal Divas !

Today is a very important day for all of us from Odissa. On this day, in 1935 (if I remember it correctly), Utkal was re-formed as a proper state.

Shubha Utkal Dibasa ebam bahut abhinandan!

Came across this page containing a list of prominent personalities who have contributed tremendously to Odissa .

Thanks mkd for correcting me.

So, Odissa has completed 72 years as a recognized state and Oriya as a national language.
