Today is Utkal Divas.It marks the formation of Odisha as an independent state.
On this day, in 1936, it was separated out of Bihar and Orissa Province and was demarcated as the new state along with some parts of Madras Presidency.
The state got its name from the Odra or Udra tribes that inhabited the central region of the present day Odisha.
Historically, it has been known by different names such as Kalinga, Utakal, Udra, Toshali and Kosala.
At the time the newly formed Orissa, which is known as Odisha has six districts –Cuttack, Puri, Balasore, Sambalpur, Koraput and Ganjam. In the year 1948 and 1949, the region of Odisha was almost doubled with addition of 24 princely states.
