The people of Kalahandi are really grateful to the Naveen Patnaik Government to have granted establishment of two professional institutions for the first time.

Professor Gopa Bandhu Behera, retired professor from Sambalpur University in his letter to the Chief Minister has lauded his initiative to set up institutions in this part of the state.

Never before the Government had started any institution of Higher Education Institution of their own, said Prof.Behera.

The people of Kalahandi have started all institutions on their own with their hand-to-mouth financial situation.

People's participation was always there.

However the people are not able to dare for institutions like University, management institutes etc.

Prof. Behera has reminded that they had moved for the establishment of the Central University.

But the Chief Minister was good enough to say that since he has committed for Koraput he will sanction other institutions.
The Task force has recommended establishment of SWO University at Bhawanipatna.

Prof.Behera said that the present Government is an objective Government.

If one examine objectively, he will find that Bhawanipatna is another centre (Bhubaneswar being one) waiting for development.

The recommendation of the Task Force on Higher Education can be operated phase-wise.

Hence the establishment of a University at Bhawanipatna has to be in the first phase.

This opinion has also been affirmed in OSA at California, USA.

If a suitable OSD is appointed the University can flourish, observed Professor Behera.

A good job done in forming a Task Force under the Chairmanship of a great physicist, Dr. Trilochan Pradhan should not go in vain, said he.

Professor Digambara Patra, a leading NRO was all along bating for the varsity and now another leading educationist of Western Odisha has added his might for the new Centre of Higher Learning in the most educationally backward area of the state.
