Chancellor's Message

Odisha is the first State in the country which has the unique distinction of having been formed on the basis of language. It is a matter of honour and pride that Odia language has been recognised as a Classical language in the country. Odia literature has a rich and glorious history with many illustrious writers, poets enriching it with their wonderful and timeless creations. All these make a legitimate wish and aspiration for the establishment of a university exclusively meant for higher studies and research on Odia language and literature. Satyabadi where the University was set up provides an ideal setting for the University to pursue its aims

and objectives and at the same time for students, scholars and faculty to further glorify Odia language and literature with their dedication, enthusiasm, zeal and interest. On being formed the University realized hopes and aspirations of the people of the State. The University which is now in its nascent stage will evolve to be a great centre of learning and of studies and research with the passage of time. The University Website would be providing information in a clear and accessible format, promoting the best user experience possible. I am sure the University will strive and take every step to fulfill the expectations of all. 

   I wish the Odia University all success.
