Post of Odia Lecturers lying vacant in Colleges and Universities in Odisha
In the midst of continuing public outrage and discontentment generated by Language Warriors of Odia Bhasa Andolan ( a frontal organization steering campaign for introduction of and implementation of Odia language as official correspondence language in state administration and demanding provision of penalty for violators) accusing State Govt. for its lackadaisical attitude towards Odia Language and lack of seriousness of Odisha bureaucracy to ensure effective implementation of use of Odia language as official corresponding language in state administration , Chief Minister declared establishment of Odia University in 2018 as show of his commitment and love for Odia Language. The media covered and highlighted this declaration portraying Chief Minister- how he loves so much Odia Language.
In fact, RTI Application was filed in the Department of higher Education, Govt. of Odsiha seeking information about establishment of Odia University. The information provided by the Dept. shows that how Construction of the infrastructure of Odia University has not yet started , though three years passed. The details of information is as found in the link mentioned below.

Secondly, RTI application dt. 15.2.21 Was filed to the Department of Higher Education seeking information about situation of Odia Professor, lecturer in different colleges and Universities. RTI Application was forwarded to all the colleges / Universities to supply the information. within period of two months, 67 Colleges and Universities have supplied the information. Barring few, almost all colleges , the post of Odia Lecturer / Professor is lying vacant for years together. The Govt. has not taken any steps to fill up the vacancies. Similarly , in all Universities, Post of Professor is also lying vacant. Even Odia chair like Satyabadi Chair, Arttabandhu Mohanty Chair is lying Vacant since 1989 and 1998 respectively. Though Kabi Samrat Upendra Bhanja Chair was established in Benaras Hindu University, UP in 2018 with sanction of Rs. 3.8 crore, the Dept. of Culture does not have information whether the any Prof. has got appointment. This is the sorry state of affairs of Odia Language in Odisha.
