Manuscriptologist

I have authored critical volumes such as Odia Bhasa, Bhrutika Swatantrata, and Odisha Pradesh Gathana, offering deep insights into the evolution of the Odia language, statehood movements, and linguistic heritage. My archival compilations, including Famine of Odisha – 1886 and Nabakalevara, have brought rare and historically significant narratives to light. A significant part of my work focuses on preserving and interpreting ancient Odia scripts through educational videos and hands-on training sessions in Karana Lipi and Odia Lipi. These initiatives have made script knowledge accessible to students, scholars, and heritage professionals while inspiring renewed interest among younger generations. Through my efforts, classical palm-leaf manuscripts have gained a new audience and relevance in today’s cultural landscape.
