kalahandi was struggling for a higher educational institution since independence. earlier proposal to establish a government engineering college in kalahandi or koraput region in the 1980s was later on shifted to some other part in odisha for political reasons. a team visited by planning commission to kalahandi balangir koraput (kbk) region had suggested to establish an agriculture college in the region. since 1988 people of kalahandi are seriously demanding a central university in kalahandi as it is central to all kbk districts and has good railway connectivity to major cities in india from kesinga railway station. in the 1990s when state government of odisha proposed to establish a university in northern odisha, people of kalahandi repeated their demand for such a university in kalahandi as well. then chief minister of odisha biju patnaik while addressing publicly in government college bhawanipatna said government could not establish university if people want to establish university in their neighbourhood. but mr giridhar gomang, chief minister of odisha later in 1999 agreed to establish two universities in baripada and balasore due to public protest making people of kalahandi highly disappointed. through "kalahandi sikhya bikash parisad" and "central university kriya committee" the struggle for a central university in kalahandi seriously continued since 2000. many memoranda were submitted to both state and central government in this regards during past 9 years. when government of india announced to establish 12 central universities in various states not having any central university across india which included odisha, a delegation from kalahandi consisting intellectuals, general people and politicians met odisha's chief minister naveen patnaik in may 2008 to establish the central university in kalahandi. mr. naveen patnaik promised and asked them to find out land details for establishing it in kalahandi. people of kalahandi sent the land details through district of collector of kalahandi in july 2008. however, without studying it, odisha's chief minister unilaterally announced to establish proposed central university of odisha in koraput, though it was expected to come up in bhawanipatna. after six months the chief minister announced to establish a government engineering and agriculture colleges in bhawanipatna. people of kalahandi though welcome establishment of such the colleges, kalahandi sikhya bikas parisad and central university kriya committee said it's not a replacement for the central university as estimated cost for the proposed central university is with an area of of land, whereas both engineering and agriculture colleges are estimated to be 100 million as per government announcement so far.
