Rich with vibrant culture, stunning architecture and glorious history, the Odisha as we know today came into existence as the first State in the pre-Independent India to be formed on the linguistic basis on 1 April, 1936.
As the State turns 87 today on April 1, 2022, not only Odias but people from all over the world joined the occasion to pay tributes to the land of Lord Jagannath and remembered the great souls who took immeasurable pains in achieving the independence of the State.
Illustrious personalities from all spheres of life and the common man celebrated the statehood day - Utkal Diwas - with great pomp and gaiety. Various offices and junctures of the Capital City of Bhubaneswar have been decorated to mark the occasion.
