Odia-challenged Naveen plays Odia varsity card.
IT was a perfect choice of venue and timing. Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik laid the foundation stone for the proposed Odia University at the exact spot in Puri district’s Satyabadi village, where Gopabandhu Das, pivot of the ‘panchasakha’ (five friends), had set up the Bakula Bana Vidyalaya in 1909 to promote education in the Odia language in the ancient gurukul mode—something similar to what Rabindranath Tagore would initiate a few years later at Santiniketan in Bengal. Being touted as an example of the government’s commitment to the preservation and promotion of the Odia language, the stone-laying ceremony for the proposed university was scheduled to coincide with Gopabandhu’s birth anniversary on October 9.

“Fix the Pipeline, Not the Pay Cheque”
When Doorva Bahuguna played cricket in the late 1980s and ’90s, there was no money, little recognition, and no illusion that the sport could become a career. You played, she says, because something inside you demanded it. Today, women’s cricket in India has a league, salaries, sponsors, and visibility—but also new constraints, new narratives, and familiar battles over agency, safety and femininity. In conversation with Lalita Iyer, Bahuguna—who captained Andhra Pradesh’s sub-junior, junior and senior cricket teams and later built a corporate career—speaks candidly about why grassroots matter more than pay parity, how sport reshapes women's sense of self; and why the real revolution in women’s cricket is still unfinished.
