Happy B’day, Veer!

No Comments, MessageBoard, by admin.

It was on this day of 1809, the great freedom fighter, Veer Surendra Sai, was born. Proud to have our University named after this great fighter!

He, not only fought against the British oppression, but also against the caste divide.

Lets spare a minute reading, realizing and respecting the sacrifice of this fighter to save Western Orissa, the then Koshal region, from British rule. This great freedom fighter, also shares his B’day with another Odia freedom fighter, Subash Chandra Bose.
