Poet of Odisha, 1862 – 1924

A poet's name, a region's aspiration.

Gangadhar Meher University (GMU), Sambalpur, came into existence on 30th May 2015 as a unitary institution of higher learning — a momentous event for the people and student community of Western Odisha, fulfilling a long-cherished dream. The newly formed university replaced the erstwhile Gangadhar Meher College (Autonomous), with its entire teaching and non-teaching staff becoming stakeholders of the new institution.
