Our Publication Odisha News was launched on May 9, 2002 at Sambalpur.................... We have always shunned paid news, the land and building mafia, the ‘cheat-fund’ organizations and the private educational institutions/universities that exploit and loot people in the name of education. We have never approached them for funds or advertisements in spite of grim issues of survival. ...................................... Among other things, we have been a pioneer in using the term, ‘Odisha’ instead of the distorted spelling, ‘Orissa’. Our stance has since been vindicated as the term ‘Odisha’ has officially replaced the term ‘Orissa’, due to the efforts of the present government of our state. This development has been a great source of satisfaction for us. ‘Making a difference’ has been our motto along with the ideal of simple living and high thinking. ..............................................
