Although I had my entire schooling in the Odia medium, the language didn't have much use later in life. This is a colossal wastage of skill and resources. How the present generation can be spared from such a loss should be a matter of urgency. Requesting all to learn Odia. #ଓଡ଼ିଆ
Neither Odisha nor Odia is known much in our country. But there are many good reasons to be aware of Odia language and culture. Odia being very similar to Hindi and Bengali can be learnt very easily. Sambalpuri songs like Rangabati are popular at the international level. #ଓଡ଼ିଆ
Located at the confluence of North, South, and East, Odisha has the advantage of having the best of different cuisines. Fish is widely consumed and Chilika lake is famous for crabs. Pakhala (soaked rice) and Dalma (vegetables and lentils) are two unique dishes which are popular.
