Culture is an integral part of one’s identity. However, with modern influences, culture and its most essential roots are losing touch with modernity. It is imperative to maintain culture and its nuances so that generations in the future can stay connected with ancestral traditions and virtues. In order to preserve culture and keep it going, the Odisha state government has launched the Odia Virtual Academy website – a resource platform to preserve resources of Odia language and culture of the State.

Through this scheme, the state government will present Odial as the language of Knowledge and Science before the Current and future generations which will preserve the Dignity of the state.
