The statue of the poet Gangadhar Meher stands in front of the college as a
tribute of his scintillating memory. Born in the village Barpali in a
humble family of weaver, he was denied the benefit of formal
education. Undaunted , he struggled through the adversities of the life
and by sheer greet and determination, acquired great mastery over the
classics of Sanskrit and Oriya literature. His poetic sensibility blossomed
quite early in life and attracted the attention of contemporary poets and
men of letters. his poetry bring our a synthesis of the old and new and
seek to establish close harmony between man and nature through out
his life, he strove for truth, duty and goodness through his creative endeavor.
His was a life of dedication to the motherland through the medium of
literature. Beside his magnum opus TAPASWINI, his monumental
works like KICHAKA BADHA, INDUMATI and PRANAYA BALLARI are of the enduring
value. The College is consecrated to his memory and draws inspirations
from that invincible spirit struggling for self expression through the
tireless striving amidst grinding poverty and adverse circumstances. I t
will continue to guide students and teachers, generation and generations
to fulfill their cherished goal in life. |
