orissa is a economically backward state of india.,though the oriyas are more peaceful, harmonious and intellectually constructive.This state has been neglected very much politically, economically and developmentally by natural and unnatural means.The schools of the state are disciplined in producing many genious scholars, those have proven their merit in national and international level.At this moment, the gift of establishing a National university in Bhubaneswar is a right decission of our beloved leaders of sound mind and strong vision. We expect this would be recognised as a worldclass university to fulfil the dreams of oriyas.Prof.Santanu Kumar Swain,Professor of Education and Dr Kalyan Ghadai, Extension Education,Banaras Hindu University.varanasi,india.Email;
