History

The institute was founded in 1949 after two Sri Aurobindo Study Circles were set up in Odisha, one in Rairangpur and another in Cuttack. These began under the guidance of Sri Ramakrishna Das, a follower of Sri Aurobindo who went under the name Babaji Maharaj.

Babaji Maharaj pioneered the campaign to spread Sri Aurobindo's philosophy throughout the nation of Odisha. The institution's activities involved the founding of integral education centers, women's groups, study circles, and youth organizations.

Cuttack's Matrubhaban was the centerpiece for these endeavors, luring in participants from all over Odisha's branches and zones.

It dedicates itself to the teachings of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother, focusing on growing human awareness, spiritual growth, and integral education.

Structure of Organizations

In Odisha, the work is divided into nine zones, each heading up of a district. Each year, officials from every zone meet at Matrubhaban to plan future events along with assessing present endeavors.
