What is ORC?

Odisha Research Centre (ORC), Bhubaneswar, is an ICSSR grant-in-aid research institute advancing interdisciplinary research on Odisha’s society, history, culture, economy, ecology and development.

We are committed to uncovering the unique, nuanced narratives that define this region—spanning from its ancient maritime history and artistic traditions to its diverse living heritage.

Our vision extends beyond mere preservation; we aim to bring historical insights alive for a contemporary world.

Through rigorous research and deep cultural exploration, ORC seeks to:
