Braja Mohan Panda (1890 in Larambha – 1965) was an Indian educator and poet.[1][2]
Early life
[edit | edit source]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.
