Baji Rout Jayanti

Bhubaneswar, Oct 5: Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi said on Saturday that Saheed Baji Rout Jayanti would be celebrated at the government level across the state in the coming days. 

Paying rich tributes to martyred patriot Baji Rout on his birthday, the Chief Minister said Rout is the youngest freedom fighter in the history of the country. 

Baji Rout was the youngest one among the freedom strugglers who was martyred. 

"As the youngest freedom fighter in Odisha, Baji Rout's dedication, sacrifice, and struggle have not been honoured at the official level. Therefore, in the coming days, the birth anniversary of Shaheed Baji Raut will be officially celebrated as a state-level ceremony. The government will celebrate it widely with all care. If this programme is implemented successfully, it will be a fitting tribute to Baji Rout," Majhi said.

He was speaking at Baji Rout Birth anniversary event organised at Jayadev Bhavan by the Shaheed Baji Raut Memorial Foundation, Dhenkanal. 

Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan paid rich tributes to Baji Rout, who was gunned down by British police during the freedom struggle in Bhuban block of Dhenkanal district. 

Pradhan urged the state government to provide formal honour to all legendary persons of Odisha.

Odisha Higher Education Minister Suryabanshi Suraj announced that a life-size statue of Baji Rout would be installed in his village Nilakhanthapur under the Bhuban block.

Dhenkanal MP Rudranarayan Pani and MLAs Bibhuti Pradhan, Simarani Nayak,  Satrughan Jena and Babu Singh were present on the occasion.
