Braja Mohan Panda

Braja Mohan Panda (1890 in Larambha – 1965) 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 landlord. After graduating from Presidency College in Calcutta, he returned to Larambha. Considering his educational environment, Panda realised that without education, his area may not develop; 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 schools until his death in 1965.
