Bhubaneswar1/4/23:: A Single Museum Complex will come at the birthplace & workplace of Utkal Gourav Madhusudan Das at Satyabhamapur in Cuttack.

On the instruction of Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik, Secretary to CM (5T) VK Pandian visited the birthplace of Utkal Gourav Madhusudan Das early this morning.

The development works will be carried out under the 5T initiatives of the State Government. By April 15, the plan for development will be prepared and presented to the Chief Minister for approval. A museum will be established at the birth place of Madhu Babu.

Madhubabu’s hundred-year-old birthplace and work place will be developed as a single museum complex and this heritage site will be preserved.

A light and sound show will also be arranged here. It will explain the glorious biography of Madhu Babu and his achievements. There will be multilingual interpretation for the convenience of viewers from Odisha and outside Odisha. The museum will be developed in consultation with all concerned persons related to Madhu Babu’s biography and heritage sites

The 5T Secretary directed the authorities to prepare a plan with very high standards of work. A welcome arch will also be put up at the entrance of the village which will be built with Khandalite stone. A parking place will also be developed near Madhubabu’s Karmabhoomi.
