History and Motivation
#1
Pre-history: The first e-group of Odias/Odishans (in the US) is ornet which started in 1989 as a mailing list and then became a list at Columbia University, then a yahoo group, and is now a Google group at https://groups.google.com/g/ornet . This group did not have a special focus on Odisha development, but did discuss them. Since then there are many Odisha related e-groups around the world; but they don't necessarily focus on Odisha development.

History: This bulletin board is conceived as a generalization (and in some sense a continuation) of some individual blog activities related to Odisha development. Some of the initial individual blogs were:

Later these blogs were updated less frequently and the bloggers moved to Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/odishagrowth and various Odisha Development related albums were created in Facebook. An index of those albums is at:
Now this bulletin board format will allow a much larger group of Odisha lovers to be up-to-date on various developmental activities in Odisha and participate and work together towards further development of Odisha.

Slowly we will add specific links to these earlier sites so as to make exploration of individual topics easier.
