On this occasion, we offer our sincere tributes to all of them, who have contributed enormously towards the formation of Orissa in 1936. Orissa has been endowed with glorious tradition of art, literature, culture, architecture, sculpture, dance, music, handlooms and handicrafts. We have a rich heritage of assimilating the essence of Jainism, Budhism, Saivaism, Vaishnavism in the culture of Lord Jagannath. “Utkalika Orissa Seva Trust”, Baroda is a non-commercial socio-cultural tie between Orissa and Gujarat through various cultural programmes and social activities. The Trust undertakes several social welfare activities like Medical check-up camps in the rural areas of Baroda, Blood donation camps etc. The trust has contributed relief for Gujarat Earth Quake, relief for Surat Flood affected people, Natural calamities like Orissa Cyclone and contribution to Sunami in the recent past. As a part of our regular activities this year we organised “Talent Search Competition” for the children to explore new talent. We shall try to continue in our endeavour with greater vigour and enthusism in future. We celebrate “Ganesh Puja” at our office, every year. The AGM of our trust was held on 10th Feb. 2008. My sincere thanks to the outgoing working committee members, who have put their best effort for the functioning of the Trust. I take this opportunity to thank all the members who have contributed whole heartedly for the growth of the Trust. I must thank the present working committee officials for their efforts for the growth of the Trust. Let us unite to kindle thoughts of sympathy, co-operation and brotherhood. Let us act unitedly to revive the great and rich Oriya heritage and create mini Orissa in the true tradition of Oriya Culture, here in the beautiful city of Baroda for our brothers, sisters, children and elders, who stay here far away from the original home. Let us see that our new generation does not forget what is the cultural essence of Orissa and remember the Great Almighty Lord Jagannath. Each one of us should contribute to create mini Orissa here. In view of the aspiration of devotees of “Lord Jagannath”, the trust is planning to construct a Jagannath Temple in Baroda. I call upon all the members to come forward and participate in these efforts. Let us resolve ourselves to fulfill the task of building of Lord Jagannath Temple at Baroda. Let us unite to make this long awaited dream - A Success. “Working together works, and with a smile, working together works FASTER, BETTER and SMOTHER” Vande Utkal Janani Bijay Nayak General Secretary Utkalika Orissa Seva Trust 15 A GUIDE TO ORISSA STATE MUSEUM The genesis of the Orissa State Museum goes back to and a noted historian himself,took the initiative for making the year l932, when two notable historians. the institut6ion a full fledged museum.The construction Prof.N.C.Banerjee and Prof.Ghanshyam Dash of of the building alongwith an administrative block,an Ravenshaw College,Cuttack started collection of auditorium(Kalamandap) and a Guest House was archaeological treasures from various places.The small completed in l960 and in the same year the museum museum was then housed within the premises of the was shifted to the ne4w bu8ilding.The institution was College.
