Second Oldest SKCGCollege Overlooked
Odishabarta
Paralakhemundi- Historical institution Sri Krushna Chandra Gajapati College;that built by Paralakhemundi Maharaja,which produced almameters who have in various professional lines in our nation & abroad too. But this second oldest SKCGCollege of Odisha utterly neglected.One of the pioneer of Odisha Legend Biju Patnaik,who got scholarship from Late Maharaja Sri Krushna Chandra Gajapati for pilot training & moreso his beloved father was Deewan of Late Maharaja too. Being reigned as Chief Minister twice & his legacy Naveen Patnaik has recently reigned as Chief Minister since 1999 continuously.People poured their faith for his artistic skill on administration & development scenarios too.His unique vision towards development too lauded in national & international level. But panic still flashes,when recently VDCollege, Jeypore declared as University where SKCGCollege Paralakhemundi deprived to get such position. Lament is growing among learneds & intellectuals,where our state government is yet to feather SKCGCollege as University. President awarded teacher Binod Chandra Jena said, “We are now at corner to restore recognition of our Late Maharaja Sri KCGajapati. His contribution for new Odisha still an outstanding & made history as First Prime Minister of independent Odisha”. Among alumnis this became a great despair & feeling stigmatized being the institution established since 139 years ago. Old students association members severely perturbed by such denouncement of Government to declare as University. Hope no sooner at least now our state government feel the sensitivity of Paralakhemundi people & great name & fame of our Late Maharaja Sri KCGajapati who had a diehard contribution to bring independence of Odisha and a benign declaration better late than never to declare SKCG Autonomous College as University.
