Prof. Amiya Kumar Pattanayak, born in the Village: Basudevpur in the District of Bhadrak, was the youngest among the three sons of the renowned educationist of Basudevpur- Late Purusottam Pattanayak. His eldest brother brother Sri Jnanendra Kumar retired as Chief Engineer and elder brother- Dr. Satyendra Kumar Pattanayak is not only a popular Doctor but a renowned social worker also.
Prof. Pattanayak is not only an eminent educationist, he is a very good sportsman also. On behalf of Basudevpur Janakalyan Parishad, Rourkela, I welcome his appointment as the prestigious Vice Chancellor of Utkal University of Culture.

************************************************************
Dear Sirs,
During August 2007, I saw an advertisement in a news paper by Utkal University of Culture, inviting application for admission in to PhD course as per the regulations, formed by the syndicate in 2006.
Based on that advertisement, I sent Rs 500 and got an application, on 5th September 2006.
I filled the application, and along with a D.D for Rs 1000/= sent the same on 10-09-2007.DD No 556251 drawn on IOB.
After a long delay I received a letter from the University on 09-07-2008 that, I am to pay Rs 3000 as final registration fees of Rs 3000.
This also I paid by DD No 558104 dated 14-07-08 drawn on IOB.
On 08th December 2008, I received a letter from the Head of the Department, stating that, I am a student of Utkal University of Culture doing PhD and selected a topic, “Vedas – A new Critical Analysis with special reference to Human Body and Healthâ€.
But till date I didn’t received my Registration Number.
I was told that the University is forming its new regulation and I am to wait.
In the last two years the Subject Research Committee didn’t find time to sit and verify the records submitted by the PhD applicants.
On enquiry, I was told that there is no Vice Chancellor to take a decision.
Now at the age of 59, I am not going to get a post or promotion or a gainful employment with any government body or Universities.
Through this letter I appeal you to send my registration Number, so that I can submit my PhD thesis at the earliest.
This is not for a degree I am longing but I wish to register my findings on Vedas and patent them in favour of your University so that you gain a name.
Dr.Mangala Mohanthy, who is at present with Red cross as Hony. Secy , knows my project well and appreciated and registered his willingness to be my co guide.
Request you to consider my admission and forward my registration Number so that I can submit my thesis at the earliest.
Yours faithfully
(R.Ramachandran)
