The Bill for creating C.U at Parala is path breaking on two counts. First, this is be the only pvt varsity outside greater Bhubaneswar region and Second, an utterly backward dist will host this University. After it was carved out of erstwhile Ganjam District, this is second instance when the Dist. is in news for some good reasons. Last year a Central school started functioing from Parala. After the Naupada-Gunupur line starts functioing, Parala will truely become a part of Orissa.
