ODIA UNIVERSITY
Odia University is a state language research university situated in Satyabadi on the eastern coast of Odisha, India. It was established following the recognition of the Odia language as a Classical language of India on 20 February 2014, leading to the decision to create a university dedicated to the research, promotion, and study of Odia literature, linguistics, history, and culture. The university was formally established as a language university under the Odia University Act, 2017, passed by the Odisha Legislative Assembly. Its first academic session began on 5 September 2023. The permanent campus was inaugurated by Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on 24 January 2024, near Satyabadi Bana Bidyalaya, a school founded by the Panchasakha—Pandit Gopabandhu Das, Acharya Harihar, Pandit Nilakantha Das, Krupasindhu Mishra, and Godabarish Misra. Academically, the university currently offers an integrated M.A. Ph.D. program. It comprises three schools: the School of Odia Language & Literature, the School of Regional, Tribal Language & Heritage Studies, and the School of Linguistics & Natural Language Processing.
