Odisha Research Conclave (ORC) is a Government of Odisha initiative to create a vibrant research culture in the state public universities of Odisha. It is a platform for the dissemination of knowledge through discussion among researchers and policy makers. To strengthen the research base both in natural sciences and social sciences, the Government of Odisha has taken several initiatives such as Odisha University Research and Innovation Incentivization Plan (OURIIP) and Odisha Higher Education Plan for Equity and Excellence (OHEPEE). Under these flagship programs young faculty members are supported with Seed Funding for Research and NET/GATE qualified students are given Fellowships for both Doctoral and Post-doctoral research. At ORC, researchers shall present their findings for review by peers and experts. This will give them the much needed exposure and will help in building a vibrant research ecosystem in the state.
ORC-2023 will be held at Sambalpur University, Jyoti Vihar, in association with Odisha State Higher Education Council, Government of Odisha.
