Braja Mohan Panda

Braja Mohan Panda was an Indian educator and poet.

Early life

He was born in Larambha in the undivided district of Sambalpur, Odisha, in 1890.
Panda's father was a land owner. Returning to Larambha after graduating from Presidency College in Calcutta, Panda realised that his native area may not develop without education; this prompted him to start a high school in Larambha in 1938, donating his own land for the school site.
In 1964, Panda established Larambha College, working at both educational institutions until his death in 1965.
