Meagre state funding and incompetent leadership at Utkal University of Culture
July 30th, 2007
That is my opinion after reading the following. Both the culture department of the Orissa government as well as the university leadership should be ashamed of the performance of this university. Its been 8 years since it was established in 1999 and it is yet to get the "funded by UGC" tag. Perhaps the government and the university leadership will learn and be inspred by what has been acheived at Ravenshaw University in 8 months. Ravenshaw has done it in 8 months what Utkal University of Culture has not been able to do in 8 years. Fakirmohan University, North Orissa University and BPUT leaderships should also be ashamed of their incompetence in not being able to make a case with the state government as well as UGC to get the "funded by UGC" tag. Hopefully, they will also be inspired by Ravenshaw University. Following is Dharitri’s article on Utkal University of Culture and the dire financial situation there.

YES, IT’S REALLY A MATTER TO LAUGH AT. BUT, THATS NOT ALL. WE MUST GIVE A SERIOUS THOUGHT TO IT AND JUMP INTO ACTION.
ONLY WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEPLORABLE CONDITION OF UTKAL AND OTHER UNIVERSITIES. EDUCATION IS THE MOST NEGLECTED SECTOR TODAY AS IT NEVER GENERATES REVENUE.
IF WE HAVE LOVE, DEDICATION FOR OUR STATE, IF WE WANT TO PULL OUT OUR STATE FROM “THE POOR STATE” TAG, THE YOUTH MUST ACT FIRST.
AN AWARENESS CAMPAIGN ABOUT OUR UNIVERSITIES IS THE NEED OF HOUR.
ORIYAS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD MUST SPEARHEAD SUCH A CAMPAIGN. N.R.Os(NON RESIDENT ORIYAS), SOME OF WHOM ARE THE ALUMINI HAVE MAJOR ROLE.
PROMINENT AND MUCH ACCLAIMED SCHOLAR OF OUR TIME DR.CHITTA BARAL MUST BE THE TORCH-BEARER OF THE CAMPAIGN. HIS CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE STATE IS WORTH NOTING.
INSTEAD OF LAUGHING AT UTKAL UNIVERSITY’S FAILURE, WE MUST ACT FAST. ITS NOT THE TIME TO HIGHLIGHT THE LEADERSHIP QUALITIES OF MR.DEVDAS, RATHER A TIME TO LEARN AND APPLY HIS PRINCIPLES OF MANAGEMENT ON OTHER VERSITIES.
WE ARE ORIYAS AND ABOVE-ALL, INDIANS. I THINK, MR.DEVDAS MUST NOT FORGET THAT RAVENSHAW ISNT HIS DREAM DESTINATION. HIS DESTINATION MUST BE A PROSPEROUS ORISSA. ONLY PEOPLE LIKE HIM CAN BE A GUIDING FORCE TO RISE OUR UNIVERSITIES FROM THE DUST.
WHY CANT WE REWRITE ANOTHER RAVENSHAW HISTORY FOR UTKAL UNIVERSITY, IF OUR VISIONS ARE CLEAR, AND WE HAVE THE DETERMINATION TO FIGHT ALL HURDLES TO IMPROVE OUR EDUCATIONAL HUBS?.
COME ON ORIYAS!! RISE UP TO CLARION CALL TO RESTORE THE PRIDE AND HONOUR OF UTKAL AND OTHER UNIVERSITIES…..

Please note its not about Utkal University but about a different university called Utkal University of Culture.
Also, I now changed the word “laughable” to “meagre” in the title.
