PIL calls for steps to revive Odisha Sahitya Akademi, high court seeks govt response

The Orissa High Court has ordered the state government to submit a detailed affidavit concerning the Odisha Sahitya Akademi’s revival. The literary body has been operating without crucial leadership and statutory bodies for months, with key posts vacant since May 2024 and governance bodies defunct since July 2023. The court’s directive follows a Public Interest Litigation highlighting these issues.
