Eminent leaders like Jadumani Mngaraj, Narayan Birabar Samanta, Pitamber Jagdev, Aasadulla, Amar Chaterjee, Sahadev Pradhan, the “Gandhi of Aul” together played a crucial role in the freedom struggle of India. Gandhiji launched Padayatra in Kendrapara at the call of those stalwarts, and many women joined this venture.
Kendrapara is way ahead of many districts in the field of education. Initially, elementary schools were opened in Haripur, Remuna, and Kendrapara in 1844 but not in Cuttack. These schools were converted into middle English schools in 1863 and again developed into high schools in 1883 by the then SDO Kirti Gobinda Gupta, reputed educationists like Jamaluddin and Pallikabi Nanda Kishore Bal were the alumni of this school.
This was opened in Kendrapara as a Frazer girls’ school in the year 1893 for disseminating women’s education. For the first time, a public library bearing the name Narendra Pathagar was opened, which was subsequently renamed the Diamond Jubilee Library in the diamond jubilee year of Victoria’s death.
