Following is from http://orissadiary.com/CurrentNews.asp?id=28773.
the much talked Odia University Bill to be tabled soon in the assembly. Today Speaker permitted the bill to table in the assembly for discussion. Dr Sipra Mallick, MLA, Kendrapara took the consent of other MLAs to discuss on this bill. But it could not discussed due to lack of time.
It is worth mentioned that this Odia University bill is much talked these days in all most all forums. Demands were there from many corners for this bill so as to protect our art, culture, literature & to promote the same. Unlike universities like Telugu, Tamil Kannad this Odia University will work for the development of Odia language and the ethnicity of this Odia community.
The Odia University trust has been working for setting up this varsity in the state. But according to UGC the concern state govt must approve the bill. Hence since long this bill is pending. But now it’s a good news for the Odias in general if this bill gets approval in the assembly.
