Odisha day or Utkala Dibasa is celebrated on April 1.
On this day in 1936, the state of Odisha came into being after its separation from Bengal province.
It started with six districts but today it has 30 districts within its boundary.
Odisha day is celebrated as a restricted holiday and is also known as Vishuva Milan.
The state of Odisha, which has Bhubaneswar as its capital, is located on the eastern edge of the Indian subcontinent.
On April 1, the state will commemorate its 88th anniversary of its founding. About a decade before India gained independence from the British Raj, in the year 1936, the state of Odisha was established.
Odisha was formerly a part of the Bengal Presidency, but after three decades of local resistance, it became an independent state.
Odisha first rose to prominence in the third century, when Ashoka, the Mauryan monarch, invaded Kalinga, then known as Odisha.
