An expert committee led by Dr. Pratibha Ray has recommended changing the English spellings of over 50 places in Odisha to reflect their original Odia pronunciation and historical identity. The committee aims to correct distortions introduced during the British era to strengthen the state's linguistic and cultural heritage. The proposal will be sent to the state government for final approval. https://odishasambad.in/proposal-to-change-the-name-of-more-than-50-places-in-odisha/ #creator program
